Alrighty, I’m gonna selfishly kick this thing off today.😊
1) You TTGP ladies!❤️ (Kages, I’m hoping you don’t mind I started your favorite thread this week. My heart is full!) 2) This outlet for the craziness of TTC 3) All the friends here who got BFPs lately, especially after losses. It gives me so much hope!!! 4) A bright light at the end of our loooong financial stress tunnel 5) The internet—makes searching for resources & support so much easier 6) DH being a true partner in this 7) The evolution of our relationship to where he’s really on board now 8) Access to good healthcare 9) Freedom to be female & independent & strong & smart & soft & weak at times 10) A new job with lots of flexibility
1. IT'S MY DAY OFF!!!!!!!! 2. It's my mthrfkg day. OFF. 3. ...which means extra snuggles... 4. Chance to catch up on things around the house 5. No alarms 6. No pants lol (okay, well maybe later there will be pants, but No Jacket!) 7. Getting back to logging my food is working and the scale moved a little yesterday. DH even congratulated me and said he was proud of me. :blush: 8. MIL let me borrow her car last week so DH could fix the truck. She's not in any hurry to get it back, which is giving him a bit more time to work on the AC, too. We should return it soon, but t's been fun to drive in the meantime. She's a pretty great MIL. 9. We had an audit recently and I didn't mess it up! 10. Coffee. I can start tapering off tomorrow... ;)
@keikilove I do not mind at all! We also have a bright light today--it's nowhere near the end of the tunnel but it's a start.
@BusinessWife lol yr ten things are cracking me up today. Enjoy all the things today!
1) Finding out that a fine we had to pay off tomorrow or MH would have lost his license can be paid in an installment plan bc they just last week changed the law!!!!! 🙌🙌🙌 2) The former student I am helping w/ his med school personal statement who is so grateful for my help that he paid me even after I insisted I'd do it for free & gave me $5 more than what I told him my normal rate is. The little things. 3) The positivity & Got-Your-Back-ness that the community on this board has. 4) My doggies, who are my right-now family along w/ DH & I love our two human, two doggie family so much--it's enough for me to be so happy so much of the time, despite how badly I'd like to make it a three human family. 5) All our recent grads, giving me hope--I agree w/ Keiki, so true. 6) My AC units. I would be a pile on the floor without them. 7) Dissertation Boot Camp tomorrow & Thursday & my dissertation buddy! I have confidence I can knock this thing out of the park so I can graduate this winter (or more likely spring just so I can keep getting paid!) 8) My BFF whom I text with every day. 9) Stranger Things season 3! 10) The USWNT!
1) This place. This wonderful little corner of the internet where I've found so many of my people. 2) My big bay window FINALLY being fixed and not needing to be completely replaced like they said it might! $1000ish versus like $8k = big win! 3) Fridge repair guy coming Thursday!!! 4) My sweet, adorable lil (big) furball puppy 5) Coffee 6) My family 7) Working from home today! 8) Seltzer and all the fun flavors it comes in 9) Gorgeous, sunny weather 10) This beautiful place I live in (7ish months out of the year, anyway... haha)

1. This morning, even though she's a PITA to run with, we took our pup out with us - MH walked most of it, so he had her on the leash with him. I love her so freaking much. 2. This board seriously makes my day to day life easier. I am so lucky to have found this community who understands this so deeply. 3. The frozen spicy chicken tenders I found at the store and have in my lunch salad. 0 WW sp, and delicious! 4. My BFF - we've been friends since we were 12, and I'm so lucky to have her. 5. Car knitting - a nice mid-day work reprieve. 6. The Libby app - being able to get ebooks from my library has been a game changer and my wallet is so happy about it. 7. **TW**
MH handling a baby shower invite for me. He let them know we have other plans that day, and he also handled the registry purchase.
8. Coffee - because I just neeed it lol. 9. Hershey's kisses - bc stress. 10. Podcasts - sometimes I just would not be able to shut my mind off without them.
