1)  Win - What's a small (or big) win you've had recently? I'm down 3lbs and I put myself out there for a job. Not sure if it will pay off, but I did it, which is pretty huge for me. 

2)  Wine - What's your favorite drink to have outside on a nice day? (Doesn't have to be wine!) I'm really into the grapefruit radlers right now; DH and I just shared one on the deck last night. 

3)  Whine - What's bugging you lately? I'm feeling pretty good right now tbh. (general TTC anxiety aside).

1)  Win - What's a small (or big) win you've had recently? I have been called a very nice girl but all of the doctors that have seen me lately, I don't feel like a very nice girl, but I am apparently keeping my feelings in check. 

2)  Wine - What's your favorite drink to have outside on a nice day? (Doesn't have to be wine!)  Right now I am on a cherry limeade from Sonic kick. 

3)  Whine - What's bugging you lately? Funky blood is bugging me.  It really just stressing me out. I really just want to move forward but I am so terrified that I again have no answers.

I'm coming out of my pandemic fog and getting better at taking pictures of daily stuff going on. For whatever reason it just felt too exhausting for me to indulge in and I just had zero mojo to share anything on social media. Getting outside helps tons too.

2)  Wine - What's your favorite drink to have outside on a nice day? (Doesn't have to be wine!)
Depends on the activity - around the campfire, definitely beers (I prefer bud light lime) or seltzers. Outside at a restaurant, either pinot grigio or a margarita. 

3)  Whine - What's bugging you lately? 
My existential job crisis. I'm just feeling like I've lost my sense of identity and I need to really re-evaluate where I see myself going in the future, open myself up to more possibilities. Since I was 18 I knew what I wanted to do job-wise, but lately I feel burnt out and confused.

1)  Win - What's a small (or big) win you've had recently?  Cut back substantially on alcohol the past several months.  I am so proud of myself for this. Also have been trying to keep up with my workouts.  I had a bit of a setback with getting sick a few weeks ago but getting back into it now. 

2)  Wine - What's your favorite drink to have outside on a nice day? (Doesn't have to be wine!)  I am loving seltzers.  Alcoholic and non alcoholic lately.  I love trulys for alcohol and AHA brand for non.  I also agree with @mrsmtothek though, outside at a restaurant warrants a nice glass of chardonnay or a margarita!

3)  Whine - What's bugging you lately? Honestly, the stress of what we will do for childcare if we were to conceive.  I know, getting a little ahead of myself.  I was crunching the numbers a few days ago and its, a lot. I know we could 100% make it work, it's not that, it's just that it will be a bit of a lifestyle change with the added expense. I was watching Inventing Anna on Netflix last night and she said "jump and the parachute will open".  Not exactly the best way to live but I keep telling myself that here haha.

1)  Win - Well I went gangbusters today: got my haircut for the first time in 6 mos, and balayage the first time in a year basically. AND I did botox which I hadn't done since last July. Now I am poor. LOL

2)  Wine - I am so ready for warm weather and a good moscow mule, yum ginger beer. But also.... iced coffee.

3)  Whine - omg, I'm dying under 500 work emails. I delete 10 and 15 more come in.

@anniemarie887 your day sounds awesome!  I keep wanting to try Botox but can't get up the nerve.  I am always afraid I will be one of those people with some insane reaction.  How long have you been getting it?  Where do you get it?  My forehead is starting to look..... old. haha.

@ReadyForaB so, i tried it the first time when i was 30 (i turn 35 this year) and i am bad in the fact that i basically let it all wear off and then get it done again, so i go once, MAYBE 2x a year. i should be doing it like quarterly to keep it up, but also ya know TTC world and botox are not friendly. that being said, i get it in my forehead and glabella (between eyebrows). this time around i also decided to try a lip flip. i did lip filler once and omg, i puffed up like an allergic reaction and then it was like nothing even was done, and that time i let her do some other botox around my mouth that i didn't love. the perk is that it wears off! filler was very expensive with basically no results. lip flip is way cheaper, so we'll see if that does anything worth repeating. i have not touched crows feet and i don't really have wrinkles there. botox is priced in units, i got 36 today.

Win - Finally getting back into a good groove with exercise, after what feels like forever (real time ~3 months). It’s brutal getting back in shape, but I already feel happier and less anxious. 

Wine - Dark and stormy or an iced tea

Whine - Allergies! I am an allergy sufferer normally but I am having the worst allergies of my entire life right now. Since I’m on the bench I have been taking ALL the allergy meds.
