R/R: my cousin is throwing my aunt a surprise 50th birthday party that’s 80’s themed tomorrow. So, I’m excited for that but have no idea how I’m going to “dress up” and I’m going basically alone because mh has to work. He got news yesterday that they want him to move up into a supervisor roll and I don’t know how I feel about it. It has much less security than his current position, they can bounce you around wherever they want, and his hours change a ton. AND the biggest reason I fee apprehensive is because he can’t call in at all at least for the first 6 months. And like he doesn’t normally but having that in place and the possiblity getting ku’ed just doesn’t work. The positives would be more pay, less strain on his body, and the ability to transfer out of state easier, which we really, really want to do. I’m trying not to stress myself out and wait until it gets here but it’s getting harder the closer he gets to this.
CS/Q: why do my boobs hurt already 😅😅

R/R: Today is biopsy day! Oh god it's going to hurt like a bitch. But... for science!! DH was bummed when I mentioned the timing of the biopsy because we really shouldn't have even tried this month. At this point I think we just do it to stay in routine lol. Idk, can you have implantation and have a biopsy without disturbing the embryo? Have dinner and watching shows with my parents tonight and then we might also be doing dinner tomorrow. It's still going to be pretty hot today and tomorrow but I'm going to try getting some weeds pulled. DH's birthday gift is out for delivery today so I'll be sure to have that all set up for when he gets home. Yay.
CS/Q: good to know my temps don't change when there isn't a 2nd body in bed.

@paytonpedro I went to an 80s party recently. I bought a band shirt at target and cut it to hang off my shoulder and wore some bangle type bracelets (thrift store). And of course a side ponytail with a scrunchie (also from Target)
@inthewoods23 I can't even imagine what I would wear to a wedding like that. But also kind of want to go to a wedding at a castle!

R/R: its my mom's bday today so we are going out to dinner with my parents, then looking forward to decorating for Halloween this weekend. DH goes back to the office next week after 18 months of us working from home together and I am so sad, it's going to be weird being alone all day after being together pretty much 24/7. Also gonna miss being able to "try" anytime we feel like it.
CS/Q: none
@walkawaynee yeah I like the idea but I also hate buying things for 1 time events. Sure I can buy some renaissance gown but when the hell else would I wear it? That's why I plan on sticking with a flower crown max. Otherwise regular wedding attire is fine. Have a lovely birthday dinner tonight with your parents! I also very much missed when DH started going into the office every day while I mostly WFH. And yes, I totally hear you on being able to sneak away in the middle of the day for some "try" time!

Happy birthday to your mom! I hope you have fun at dinner and decorating for Halloween! Awh. I’m sorry you’re going to miss your husband and “trying” time lol. Mh never worked from home but I could imagine I would have those feelings as well. I hope it passes quickly. Maybe spend some time doing self care?
@inthewoods23 very interesting! I hope everything goes well and isn’t too painful for you. Can you take anything for the pain prior to going? Will you be awake? Can they give you anything?
