WAYDTGKU: Nothing at the moment
R/R: Just wanted to say a big thank you to all of you for keeping me sane yesterday. I know I didn't tag everyone who commiserated with me and my stupidity, but I really appreciate the support. It, of course, was not as bad as I made it out to be (one of my co-workers did some detective work). It was a perfect storm of events with him being a little sick and angry that he may have to redo a project. I was just the straw that broke the camel's back, if I can mix metaphors.
CS/Q: -
GTKY: If you could join any past or current music group which would you want to join? Great Big Sea. When I was in St. John's I definitely spent some lazy afternoons daydreaming that I would meet them at a bar. We would chat about music and it would happen to come out that I play fiddle and they would offer me a guest spot on stage with them

R/R:
I found an app which is linked to another app I have today which has significantly helped my focus and therefore my progress on my thesis. I already use the "Todist" app for all my follow up actions for work. Now I found "Flat Tomato" app where you can apply the pomodoro technique, but choose your own work and break regime to suit you. And it imports tasks from Todist as well as from your iphone tasks.
It hasn't changed how much work I still need to do, but has helped me break it down and make me more accountable for my progress so far.
Oh and this morning I also guided the first landscaping company around our garden and hope we can get the quote back end of next week from them.
CS/Q: Nothing to see so far.
GTKY: If you could join any past or current music group which would you want to join?
I would probably go for Heart. Old rock chick here.
@meri-mac so pleased everything is ok at work.

Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD: ?? Waiting on first AF after getting IUD out
WAYDTGKU: temping, daily Wondfo OPKs this initial cycle to figure out what’s going on, CM, HIO
R/R: Rant: I’m in a tough spot with work at the moment. I thought I would have a promotion that would significantly change my role but the hiring manager tabled it so I’m now adjusting my mindset to having to stay in my current role for the foreseeable future. Some days are okay, others really suck and it hits me hard that I will need to keep dealing with my micromanaging deparment chief. I really got my hopes up and am now sad, frustrated, disappointed, angry... a whole slew of emotions. My rave is that TTC is helping me deal with it somewhat since it makes me focus on myself and my relationship with my hubby.
CS/Q: none to speak of yet
GTKY: If you could join any past or current music group which would you want to join? Destiny’s Child because BEYONCÉ! Though I’d have to be in like a back corner since I am tone deaf and, as hubby eloquently puts it, when I dance it’s to a beat only I can hear.
CD:18
WAYDTGKU:bbt,cm,opk,hio
R/R: Our little dog needs dental work which will probably cost an arm and leg.
CS/Q:nope
GTKY: If you could join any past or current music group which would you want to join? I would say Marilyn Manson but after reading the stuff that happens back stage in his bio book I would pick more of a calm group like
NKOTB.
CD: 20
WAYDTGKU: All the things.
R/R: Rant: Hoping to get my positive OPK today. UGH. I assume this means I'll have a short LP still. I've read that people have gone on to get a BFP even with a short LP so, hope that's me. Rave: Today's my last day of work for the week. Woohoo!
CS/Q: N/A
GTKY: If you could join any past or current music group which would you want to join? Spice girls for sure haha. I was always really jealous of Spice World!
@emmasemm That's exciting about the landscaping! What all are you looking to have done?
@LemonofBluebell Sorry about your job
@Stargazer1lily I can only imagine what Marilyn Manson does backstage! Oh my! LOL!
@LemonofBluebell Thanks! I'm so sorry for the delayed promotion. Hopefully, it will happen sooner rather than later. I know how tough it can be dealing with a micromanager. All you can do is keep your head down and breathe when they interfere. Is YH a good singer and/or dancer?
@Stargazer1lily Sorry about your puppy's teeth. Fx it won't be too expensive!
@meladams10 Fx for a positive OPK! I'm totally with you on the Spice Girl front. I still know all the lyrics to their songs. Enjoy your weekend!
Month/Cycle: 9/10
CD: AF hasn’t started fully yet, but temps are down and I started spotting.
WAYDTGKU: OPKs, CoQ10
R/R: Rant: I’m super disappointed about this cycle. We have family from Switzerland staying with us for 2 weeks soon and it will be right during O. It’s going to make it really tough to get all the timing in. Last month we only got -3 and 0 and I’m really wanting to get -2 and -1 in this time. Also, DH wants to go to Vegas with his cousins from Switzerland and it might be during O. I don’t want him to go, but I want him to be able to be able to spend time with family and do something for himself. I’m just so torn. Rave: It’s supposed to be really warm this weekend! I’m so tired of the cold so it couldn’t come at a better time.
CS/Q: I don’t think I’m going to be temping this cycle. I’m taking a lot of days off work so I don’t want to wake up early if I don’t have to. My control freak side doesn’t like the idea of not knowing what’s going on though. I really love temping and seeing all the data.
GTKY: If you could join any past or current music group which would you want to join? Probably Radiohead.
@lemonofbluebell Micro managers are the absolute worst! I’m so sorry you are dealing with a boss like that. My old boss was always hovering and I eventually applied for a new job because of it. My new boss is the exact opposite and it’s also frustrating.

@lemonofbluebell I actually opted to take a side step instead of a step forwards at work when we first thought it might not be so easy and in order to make it more practical to manage when successful (as I travelled a lot in my previous roles). At times when the journey has been tough and I'm wondering if it will ever work I sometimes question myself. But overall I believe we would not have made progress in treatment so far if I had not changed roles, nor would I be able to do the next planned treatments. So maybe the universe is saving your energy to spend on personal instead of career stuff. What I did to make sure I didn't feel like I was making no progress was to get onto our Executive MBA program. So I'll be even more qualified when I do want to move again.
@meladams10 yay to last day of work today! And LP length should not vary if you O earlier or later.
@meri-mac there is a "Love your garden" show we found from Alan Titchmarsh now on Netflix. DH is addicted :-)
@eleven_ that's a bugger with the timing. Maybe it will spice up FW though - like being teenagers again!!!

WAYDTGKU: just starting temping today
R/R: rant: my in laws are coming to town next month and I ALWAYS start my period when they come to town. It's really freaky. I just checked and, yes, af is due during their visit. I know I'm acting crazy and superstitious but I'm half convinced I'm already out this cycle lol. Rave: my thermometer came in yesterday! I feel better about ttc since I'm able to do something every morning.
CS/Q: weird q- I have a wonky/tilted uterus. I've been trying to figure out cp and I wasn't sure if I just need to practice more or if my titled uterus will make it harder/difficult to determine?
GTKY: If you could join any past or current music group which would you want to join? It would probably be the weepies. Or the postal service. Or a musical like les mis or wicked.
@LemonofBluebell I love your sn!!!!! Now I want a Hart of Dixie marathon....

R/R:Nothing to rant about this week so far. Rave- I've convinced my hubby to go to the doctor and talk about his anxiety (finally!) because I think he's undiagnosed social anxiety. His brother and dad have gone and this will be a big step towards helping him and improving our marriage since his anxiety has been a negative factor for us.
CS/Q: None at the moment
GTKY: If you could join any past or current music group which would you want to join?
Spice Girls!
@emmasem What is your thesis on?
@LemonofBluebell I am so sorry to hear about your job! That’s really crappy.
@Stargazer1lily I’m sorry about your dog! What does it need done. Mine had tonhave a tooth extracted recently because it was infected. Then she was on antibiotics for a while.
@meladams10 I am still in the no positive OPK group as well. Ugh! Still getting EWCM so maybe it’s close. I use to love watching Spice World! So did my brothers, but for different reasons.
@eleven_ If you guys BD before he goes to Vegas would that be close enough to O? It only takes one sperm!
@rocketmom88 I have yet to figure out how to check my cervix, though today and yesterday I think I got it! It just weirds me out mostly. Sorry. I know that wasn’t helpful! I’m not sure how the uterus would affect it, if it does.

R/R: rant- today was soso until this evening then it was crap. Bad migraine at work all afternoon, then came home and my dog ate a raisin so I got to spend $65 on the aspca poison control line and try to make him throw up, which he didnt do, so now we get to keep an eye on him for 48 hours and take him to the vet tomorrow for baseline bloodwork so they have something to compare it to if he starts showing symptoms. (Grapes/raisins can cause kidney failure in dogs, but it doesn't happen to every dog, but some dogs can get super sick from just one)
Rave- at least it's going to be warm this week and my new migraine rescue med worked.

It was not the profession for me despite opinions to the contrary. Talking to someone really helped, but also *NERD ALERT* playing Dungeons & Dragons helped. Talking in front of a group of people was difficult, let alone playing a part. After 2 years of nerding it up, I am able to do a Southern accent with a lisp without blushing or claming up. I hope your husband feels better after talking to someone.
@AdorkablePixie Thanks! I can't really sing or dance either. Luckily, I can play an instrument
@fantasyflyte Hope your puppers is okay. Best not to take any chances!
@erinbh I am probably very late to the party on this, but I had never heard of the Ava bracelet. I am a bit Type A as well so I will have to look into it.
Ok, I’m going to try reinstalling to see if it fixes the app issue...
