Every Wednesday, I have been meeting w/ my boss to show him my progress on a documentation overhaul project I'm leading.

Every week, I don't do any work on it til like Tuesday. Sometimes not til Wednesday morning.

(Gonna catch up with me eventually).

(Confession 2: I accidentally wrote "gonna ketchup with me" at first....)

Also, I'm watching Ugly Betty while I "work" today.

I have to actually do work today, which is less than thrilling to me. Still hoping my boss lets us all go early today though.

Half my department is gone, including my boss, so I’m going to target on my lunch break and leaving early and I don’t care or feel bad about it.

My boss just left, sooooooooooooooooo....

I'm eating candy bars for lunch & watching 90-day Fiance

I am jealous of everyone who can get away with leaving early or not doing a lot of work in a day  I wish!

my confession is that I will still look at my ex's instagram every once in a while (I don't follow him) because i'm genuinely curious about his life but I need to stop. I should just block him. It doesn't help that i'm still fb friends with mutuals so his name will pop up in their posts. yikes.

@konoha - If it makes ya feel any better I have multiple dedicated Instagram stalking accounts (that I share custody of with my equally insane friend), leftover from when I was pretty much obsessed with two different exes. And their exes. And current partners. And their families. And their friends. (I PROMISE all my stalking was limited to social media, I was just extremely dedicated.) Now my friend and I still look occasionally at these people we used to be extremely invested in and get mildly annoyed when they don't post anything interesting.

Basically this article is about me 5-10 years ago.

@whitealbum29 totally same, spirit twins!!! I'm the go-to information person for my friends, I can sniff things out like you would not believe!!!

whitealbum29

@mvt2003 hahah yes!! I currently have an assignment to figure stuff out about a guy my single friend met.

@whitealbum29 I remember when insta stories became a thing and I didn't understand them yet, I accidentally clicked on a story of someone that I HATE who I would check in on occasionally just to make sure my life was still better than hers. I hit block so darn fast!!!

@konoha @whitealbum29 I found my ex's new wife on FB, and we have a few mutual friends so I stalk them hardcore too. They're both in law enforcement so there isn't a lot on social media but if it's there, I'll find it. I also stalk MH's ex wife just to see what she's up to because I don't like being surprised when we do have to see her. 

My confession today is that apparently MH's ex wife (and the dog, Humpy) are moving 2-3 hours away so we might not see him as often as we do now. And I'm not that sad about it. He's sweet and all but he's virtually untrained and every little bit of progress I make with him is undone when he goes back to his Mom every week so he drives me bonkers. He just reinforces every single reason why I didn't want a dog in the first place. Maybe someday, just not at this stage in our lives.

Ok... I'm okay with not having a May baby cuz well... A Sept/Oct baby means awesome cool weather for maternity leave 😅

(For context, see my IF thread post. FET failure 😢)

I just shed tears for an Internet stranger. 

See comment above mine.

@inthewoods23 I’m so, so sorry❤️❤️

@inthewoods23 From the very bottom of my heart, I am so so sorry. 

inthewoods23

@bows22 @tyrion_ thanks ladies! I am handling this surprisingly well, and maybe that's cuz the RE already laid out how the next 3-4 months are going to go. All sorts of testing once AF shows including RPL, there's another mock transfer with a biopsy to check for receptivity, and then I think the FET cycle starts in December with a transfer in January.

@inthewoods23 I'm so sorry.  Great you are taking it well and your RE has a clear plan laid out for you.  Sending ::hugs::  

chaos-and-coffee

@inthewoods23 so so sorry. ❤️ Hugs. Glad you are managing to remain positive and that your RE has a solid plan moving forward. 

gingermama29

@inthewoods23 oh no, I'm so sorry to hear. Hugs to you.

Every Friday night, I am typically in bed and asleep 9pm. I feel like an old lady. During the week I can stay up till midnight, wake up at five or six and do a workout, and repeat the next day. But my body just gives up on Fridays. Currently I’m waiting to eat dinner and then snuggle in bed, even though there is cleaning to be done. I’m just glad we don’t get asked to go place Friday. My heart will want to say yes for the adult interaction, but my mind would be cussing me out!

The party don't start til I walk in...

This is MY Friday night, yo:

@whitealbum29 omg! that does make me feel a little less alone haha! that's so awesome though, you are expert level in social media stalking  it's scary how far you can fall into the rabbit hole once you start!

@inthewoods23 sorry i'm late but i'm sending you internet hugs! I love how your RE already has the plan set up for next steps. And people born in the fall are pretty amazing if I do say so myself all the fx for you!!
