R/R: not a lot going on, Tuesday is laundry day. We may go to the zoo this weekend 

CS/Q:  Im inclined to think I did ovulate? But maybe I’m just bias tomorrow I’ll decide for sure. If I did though I’ll be excited that I was distracted for 1/2 the TWW

With out Saturday

R/R: I tested this morning because I was a day late (even though I said I wouldn’t this cycle). BFN of course and then I started bleeding an hour later. Thanks for that impeccable timing, body! Oh well, I was at least mentally prepared for this cycle being a wash.

I was MIA yesterday finishing up clearing our fence line for the new fence to hopefully go in on Wednesday! It was HOT, but I’m excited to be moving forward with the project.

CS/Q: Nope

@daisy0322 I think this might be it! And your CM has dried up? FX this is the quickest TWW ever! 

Month/Cycle: 13/12

WAYDTGKU: charting

R/R: Hoping yesterday was my last day of spotting bc I am ready for AF to be over with! Not a whole lot going on this week. I'm trying to finish up a portfolio for one of my classes and then get to work on a project for my advisor that I've been neglecting for a few weeks. I have the rest of the school year (4 weeks!) planned out and all my grading caught up and let me tell you that is a great feeling. Cannot WAIT for summer!

CS/Q: nothing to see yet

daisy0322

@fameonmain2 Im dying to know because .......look 👏🏼at 👏🏼that👏🏼 timing 👏🏼!!!! But I’m trying not to get too excited because I know it’s not for sure. I’m so happy for you that you get to enjoy summer! You’ve been working so hard, I know 💕

@abjm0325 Im sorry about AF I hate that plus I always feel like I wasted a test (because me testing on DPO 8 totally isn’t wasting them either right???). That’s exciting about the new fence! 

abjm0325

@daisy0322 The wasted test is the worst part! I probably need a dedicated laundry day like you. Instead it’s an exciting adventure of “when are we going to run out of clothes?” over here…

@fameonmain2 Woohoo! Sounds like you’re in a good place for the last four weeks!

b_1029

@daisy0322 I really have no idea, but I hope you did O! 

@abjm0325 sorry for CD 1. I hate when I test and start bleeding soon after haha 

@fameonmain2 fx for no more spotting, it gets so annoying! That’s exciting you only have 4 weeks left!

R/R: nothing crazy, I just really hate having my period lol. I am also ready for this roofing company to be done with this project but they’re probably 1/4 of the way done. MH got in an argument with the project manager last night because they went and bought all this wood to replace rotted wood without telling us and we’re already looking at $800 more than expected, in just the front of the house. The PM got defensive and berated Mh for thinking they were ripping us off. Like no we don’t think that, but maybe just consult us first and keep us in the know. As it is, the roof and gutter / soffit project is already 18k. Not sure if they can tell by the 1998 4Runner in our driveway or not but we aren’t millionaires 😆

CS/Q: nope

daisy0322

@abjm0325 i suck at folding them and putting it away though. I recently bought all super nice laundry baskets on wheels because in thought that would make me more likely to fold it 😂

@b_1029 oh no! Lumber is outrageous right now too I’m sorry. That’s stressful 

inthewoods23

@daisy0322 is there a reason you changed your Saturday temp from 97.3 to 97.4? I'm not convinced O has happened for you yet since your temps have an overall super low upward trend for the entire length of your cycle. I'm not sure I would consider these last couple temps as a sustained shift. The occasional anovulatory cycle is normal so you may just have to take Provera to induce a bleed and cross your fingers your next cycle goes much more straightforward.

@abjm0325 what a waste of a test! I've done that when my period decides to arrive super late in the day that it's expected. Lately it's been happening for me with these unexpected 14 day LPs instead of 13.

@fameonmain2 bring on summer woo!! I love when the end is in sight

@b_1029 was there a clause in the contract or something that says they have to consult you if there are additional costs to the project? Or is this one of those times where the roofing company is SOL for not including the possibility in their quote? Why TF does a new roof have to be so expensive?? We had some repairs done on ours a few years ago to fix a leak in our bathroom ceiling and added ventilation because it was pretty poor. Thankfully that was a decently cheap project, but the previous companies we had talked to said it would require a whole new roof and of course that immediately meant $30-40k or something ridiculous because we have a pretty large house. Oh, and then add to that the additional cost for the soffit ventilation - that alone would be an extra $1800! Oye. Sometimes I really hate being a homeowner to an old house that has not had many updates.

R/R: DH is WFH Thursday and Friday this week YAY!! So excited to have him back home. I do need to start going into our office more regularly so boo, but oh well. I'll likely go in on a day he's also at his office. Or maybe I won't so my poor cat doesn't get lonely haha. My parents have officially moved out of their house and into an apartment near us. Housing market has been so hot they couldn't find anything they liked so they'll have at least the next year to find a house or likely find a lot and build new (their preference). But the gang's all back together now! Minus my brother, but nobody but DH would complain about having to travel to AZ to see him. 

CS/Q: nope

b_1029

@inthewoods23 ugh yes I love old homes but there’s so much crap that comes along with them. There’s no such thing as an easy fix. The contract said there could be incremental costs depending on how much bad wood they found, since they obviously wouldn’t know till they started. Idk MH is an accountant and needs to know about each penny hah. I’m happy YH will be home again! That’s exciting about your parents also. 

daisy0322

@inthewoods23 sorry I was experimenting i changed it back to 97.3 later. I see the OBGYN in a couple weeks. Provara usually doesn’t work for me i just have to wait. If it ends up being anovulatory they’ll probably say I’m done ovulating for a while. I’m glad YH gets to work from home again! I’m sure that’s nice to have him home. 

inthewoods23

@daisy0322 do you still get dotted CH with the 97.3 temp?

abjm0325

@b_1029 Wow, that is a pricey project! Hope they will at least keep you all better informed moving forward.

@inthewoods23 Glad your parents are back nearby (since I assume from your post that’s a good thing, haha)!

daisy0322

@inthewoods23 i do not .... i was experimenting because I was sick and also had a fan about 1 foot from my face all night because it was hot. So far I’m keeping it and marking illness and seeing what tomorrow brings 

anniemarie887

helllllllllllllllo ahh sorry! posted and ghosted yesterday, so this is my catch up! 
@fanstasyflyte you're safe per this map!

@acleverusername ha, oh i'm full of what i consider fun(ny?!) expressions. "go pound sand" is one of my favorites, it's nicer than saying "go eff off". i did an osteopath for a little bit in 2019, and i'm glad that's helping you feel better! i know how much it sucks to be in pain, and not being able to be active is like the icing on the shit cake of it. i will say the injections aren't bad! my hips were done in office, my SI joint was done x-ray guided at a surgery center but i was 100% conscious. it just didn't last for me, so i felt like the expense with a high deductible health plan wasn't worth it. 
@fameonmain2 i guess they're really more the "mid atlantic region" and then that "heartland" area (at least thats what we call that region at work!)
@bows22 oh we had rain off and on all day monday, and a solid temp drop to like 70. it was GLORIOUS! if there was humidity i literally couldn't tell bc the temp was so glorious. lol got to sleep with the windows open last night which is like my version of heaven. and yea, we get some every year, and then there are like 5 and 7 year ones, but these 17 year ones are ya know apparently like the rapture. 
@inthewoods23 they are huge, like 2" easily, very crunchy. and it's compounded by their exoskeletons being abandoned, and then they're crawling around out of them. blegh.

CS/Q: nada

@daisy0322 fingers crossed for you!

abjm0325 sorry about the negative, but yay for a new fence! 

@fameonmain2 can you send me some of your organizational motivation?

@b_1029 and @inthewoods23 ugh we also have an old house, i literally budget 15% more for any project. something else is always wrong. 

b_1029

I also posted and ghosted yesterday, I’m sorry. But @anniemarie887 where I am is in a concentrated section 😬 they are so gross and now my dog is starting to get interested in eating them. Gag me!!! Ginny & Georgia is good!

anniemarie887

@b_1029 i send my condolences, i am in the same boat. i can literally hear them when i am sitting inside now, with the windows closed. they say the sound level is almost the same decibels as a jackhammer!

R/R: Nothing exciting going on really. Enjoying sewing during my downtime this week, my summer class starts tonight. My back is still bugging me, which is getting really old.

CS/Q: Either my cycle is supper f--ked up or FF is on drugs because it thinks I ovulated on CD8. I've never ovulated before CD18, and it's usually closer to CD30.

fantasyflyte

@daisy0322 it does look like you O'd, fingers crossed!

@abjm0325 sorry about CD1. New fence sounds exciting!

@fameonmain2 yay impending summer!

@b_1029 ssorry the project's hitting some bumps, I hope the rest of it goes smoothly. You'd think they'd consult before doing anything that changes the price if only because they don't know how much you can or can't afford.

@inthewoods23 I'm glad they were able to find a place. It's a huge seller's market out there right now, I have a family member that just listed a house and got and accepted an offer within 5 days, it's nuts.

@anniemarie887 wooo, no crunchy bugs for us! Looks like we just barely miss out in CT, I'm not going to complain lol. Weird that they're in two distinct clumps.

daisy0322

@fantasyflyte I’ll feel better one way ir the other after I see another temp I hope.... that’s so cool you sew. I do a hand embroidery type thing- I don’t know what it is lol I just in enjoy it this is what I made my God mother for Christmas this year. They take about 150-200 hours. It’s all cut from felt and hand embroidered and stitched and parts get layers or stuffed. 

LJMoon6

Mobile bumping again today, I'm trying to tag so sorry if I screw it all up lol.

@daisy0322 Your chart is confusing me too. Hopefully you're halfway through the TWW, 1 less week to wait lol.
@abjm0325 I hate when that happens, test and then your period comes a minute later. That always seems to happen to me.
@fameonmain2 I can't imagine being a teacher during this time. Having summer break just around the corner must be an amazing feeling!
@b_1029 Dang! Wood is not cheap right now! That should have been a no brainer to ask you guys first. Fx AF wraps up soon for you.
@inthwoods23 That's great that your parents are near you guys now! I know we've thought about selling our house and just renting for a while until the market cools down. It's crazy right now!
@anniemarie887 I just started Georgia and Ginny a few weeks ago too. Haven't finished yet since I tend to avoid shows when I know I'm getting close to the end lol.
@fantasyflyte Ya, I think I'd agree. FF is on drugs. I'm sorry your back has been bugging you. Did you do something to injure it? I love sewing too but I haven't done it in years. I would love to throw myself into a project. What are you working on?
@acleverusername From yesterday. We have a camper so it's not like true camping lol. Comes with a kitchen and full bathroom with a bathtub even. I should really call it glamping but I hate that word lol

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, BD EOD, and ffc menstrual cup after BD

R/R: Rave: Started to get a surge last night! Soooo happy we didn't end up missing it. I'm maybe just a little too optimistic about this cycle. I need to get my emotions in check.
Rant: I've switched to part time hours for the summer. Working 3-10 hour days. It's so nice to have the extra time off. But I feel pressure to still get all my work done in the same time frame. So... shoving 40 hours into 30 hours. Ugh.

CS/Q: 

inthewoods23

@abjm0325 yes that's a good thing haha. My dad retired earlier this year and *tw*

there are 2 grandkids now. Sadly none are mine haha

*end tw*. They've been planning on moving back near my sister and me for the last few years. My sister and I are only about a 20 minute drive away and my parents are currently a mile and a half from us so it's easy to see each other. The area they are interested in though would mean a 20-30 drive to them which isn't bad at all.

@daisy0322 funny how small of a change in temps can make. Hopefully clarity comes in the next few days.

@anniemarie887 and how long are they around? Is it a few days or weeks? I guess it's a good thing I don't live near them. I'd think it's cool for like a day or 2 then be sick of them. And seriously, I never trust those average costs you read online for X work. Somehow our estimates are always at the very top of the range or even above! The only cost we've had that was what we expected was the electrical panel replacement. That was actually pretty dead on from what they say online.

@fantasyflyte I'm gonna go with FF is on drugs lol. Sure you've got the temp bump up, but your temps after CD8 aren't higher than the previous 6. My parents listed their house on a Wednesday, had an open house over the weekend and accepted an offer on Monday. The handful of houses near me have also only had signs for a week or 2 max before there's an "accepted offer" added to the sign. Crazy!

@LJMoon6 yay for catching your surge!

anniemarie887

@inthewoods23 word on the street is that the population doubles this week, and then they hang out for a month! 

b_1029

@anniemarie887 I could hear like a general din before, and I just went outside for a few minutes and they’re incredibly loud on my street now. That has just been since this morning. Ugh I am so sick of them and especially all the shells everywhere. 

inthewoods23

@anniemarie887 omg

@b_1029 is the expectation that you just let the shells decompose over time?

@inthewoods23 yea, I mean there’s no point in trying to clean them up. Way too many. 

[Deleted User]

This is filling my heart with quiet dread.  So far no sightings in my county yet... But I feel like it's coming... 😬😬😬

fantasyflyte

@anniemarie887 ngl, I saw that random thread but came here first, and thought you were talking about cleaning up one-off threads.

anniemarie887

Lol @fantasyflyte I mean there’s been way too many of them lately as well. Idiots. 

b_1029

Continuing the cicadas talk, I don’t want to make anyone too jealous but this is the side of our house right now. We don’t live in a super bad part either (comparatively) but live close to a park and they’re BAD there. ETA peep the little shell collection on the ground lol

pajamstagrams

*lurking from wherever I belong lol*

All this cicada talk had me googling A LOT yesterday. Cicadas are a normal summer thing where I live (that's the only clue you'll get 😉), so I was confused on these whole 17 yr cicadas. I've learned so much, also, very thankful the cicadas stick to themselves and the trees here because I've never seen one 😬🤷‍♀️ sorry you ladies are dealing with all that right now!! So gross. 🤢
