It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
I have a cold and I don't want to take any meds b/c I don't want them to somehow mess up ovulation/fertilization whatever. Also, I just realized that next month I'll be out of town (without DH) the entire week surrounding ovulation, will return just afterwards. Boo.
I like hearing about how fertile all the peggies are... like, instead of attempting to have a living child, their BIGGEST issue in life is if a 3rd living child will make it too difficult. Not even a worry for IF or MC or anything... just 'will going to the grocery store be like 5% harder or not?'
That Peggy asking about TFAS this morning. I can't. Normally the Peggies don't bother me that much, I find them almost amusing but holy shit that one was triggering this morning. I know there are lots of people here TFAS but most of you are so respectful, to the point where there are probably some that I don't even know have a LC. (and on that note, thank you to those of you who do respect that rule, I love you for it )

Yep. I am officially "peggy'd" out. I normally am amused by them, but JFC the sheer number of them is beating me down. The reminder that literally all of these women have NO problems getting KU and feel the need to tell internet strangers about it is just making me sad.

Looks like we’re all on the same page. I was coming on here to b*tch about that Peggy too. That put me in a terrible mood. I wish I had that problem rather than “what if I never have 1?”
New BF. My 2 coworkers who both became dads in the last 6 months or so are going on and on about how easy Kroger clicklist is with their babies. I’m about to turn around and punch someone except if I turned around I would be faced with the one’s mural of newborn pictures 🙄🙄
I can’t even really hate on the one. He and his wife went through a lot in terms of TTC / IF and they ended up getting pregnant through snowflake adoption which I didn’t even know was a thing until he told me. Really cool.
+1 for wanting to TP somebody for the Peggy thread today. I guess I'll have to save that for Thursday.
@b_1029 ugh. I'm somehow overhearing a lot of triggering convos in the office today too even with Spotify blaring in my ears.
My BF is for my brother. It's his 2nd anniversary today and so we were wishing him a happy anniversary in our family text thread and he's like "oh thanks, fam, but [his MIL] beat you all to it!" as if our well wishes don't matter because we were 5 minutes later. Thankfully, I have a side thread with only my sister where we can commiserate over what a poo he is.
I worked for houuurrssss last week on a demo site to show my boss's boss this morning. It was ready to go. 30 min before the meeting, I made one tweak.... it blew up, I couldn't fix it, and I couldn't show it at the demo meeting.
@jennifer_louise ugh, your brother does sound like a poohead for that. Coincidentally today is also the day MH and his ex-wife got married so I'm sending a great big pffftttt to anniversaries today.
