I'm going to clean the bathroom really well, with bleach!
I avoid chemicals during the 2WW. That's over. Might as well have a spotless bathroom. Maintenance cleaning relies on less toxic cleansers (vinegar spray, mainly), but every once in a while, I like to blast it with the terrible stuff.
(Yes, I'm a weirdo for being excited to have time for it, but it is so sparkling white and clean when I do this!)
Me- 39 (turning 40 in April), TTC for the first time ever (since Jan 2015), low ovarian reserve
Married 3/14/14 to my wonderful wife, but her sperm count is rather low
TTC with frozen donor sperm and science
7 IUIs, 7 BFNs. 2 IVF attempts, both cancelled and converted to IUI, both BFNs. Decided that my tired old ovaries are ready to retire. Next step- reciprocal IVF, using my wife's eggs, my uterus! fresh 5 day transfer (2 embryos) 4/17/17- BFP! Identical twins "due" 1/2/17 (but anticipated arrival sometime December)
Klake, I only use natural products and to really disinfect the bathroom I clean it a mix of hydrogen peroxide, vinegar and baking soda. It basically kills everything but the tiles. I buy food grade h2o2 and dilute it down to a 3.5% solution, so that the bottle of 35% lasts forever. You should try it!
Oh, plans for the week end. I'm having lunch with a friend tomorrow, then work in the afternoon. On Sunday hubby and I are going to class together and perhaps will take a relaxing walk afterwards, if the weather is nice.
I love a nice clean bathroom too! I usually use mostly natural stuff but like to give it a good blast from time to time with a low dose of chemicals.
I'm going to be rehearsing tomorrow for a Halloween show we're putting together. And then a dear friend's going away party. She's moving to France to be with her boyfriend. I'm sad to see her go since she's one of my real-time friends who I can share my TTC woes with (in addition to all you wonderful virtual friends :-)
I'm inspired now to fit in some cleaning too...

I'm on call this weekend for 48 hours. Pretty much keeps me pinned in the house all weekend. Have to be within 30 minute response time from hospital ( So i'll just get in a couple workouts and work on painting our house. Only 1 side to go and it'll be done!!!
Not much on the calendar here. Today just taking it slow and then planning on a 3-hour grading session at some point when DH is available to hang with LO. Tomorrow, church and then a trip to a nearby town that has lots of apple orchards and stuff. Should be fun. I'm sure there will also be football.
