Timing: -4, -2, -1, O, +1
Typical LP length: 13-14
Testing: Maybe this weekend. I'm getting really scared, you guys. A BFN would destroy me this cycle.
R/R: There have been reports of a pervert harassing women running on our local trail by the lake near my house. I didn't hear about it until this morning when my walking buddy asked me if I had. I asked her where the reports were, and she looked it up on her phone while we walked. As she's reading it she says "on the bridge near the laundromat" and we look up, and there is a guy standing there with his dog looking at us (we were walking on the road that runs next to the trail because it's pretty dark in the mornings now and we like the street lights). So we walk faster. Then the guy came down off the trail and was walking a ways back behind us on the road. There weren't any reports of the suspect having a dog and this guy didn't seem to be walking quickly to catch up to us, so I'm still about 75% sure it was just a guy walking his dog and really unfortunate timing, but still scared the shit out of us. So we decided to go off our usual path and took a turn up a dead end road with a pretty steep hill because it would have been really bizarre if he followed us up there. He didn't, but between being scared and the big hill, our hearts were pumping pretty good. She looked at her max heart rate on her Fitbit and hers got up to almost 160! Her resting is usually 60 or less. Soooo yeah. I went on Amazon and ordered some pepper spray, and we're changing where we walk tomorrow. So scary!
In other news, hold on to your hats... this is going to be a long rant! *TW for loss and someone else's PG
CS/Q: Took a break from temping this weekend. Also, I keep waking up at exactly 4am every single morning lately and it's really messing up my temping schedule!

@shamrocandroll so many creepy internet hugs. Seriously. You are basically a saint for all of that. I would not have been nearly so nice. Also, that guy would have scared the $hit out of me too. This is why I'm contemplating carrying pepper spray now.

Timing: Pretty good. So far: -4, -2, -1, 1, 4, 5. Not sure of exact O date, so just an estimate.
Typical LP length: ~15 days
Testing: Hopefully after missed AF
R/R:
CS/Q: I had some light cramping off and on through Saturday and Sunday. I'm not feeling pregnant AT ALL right now. My right boob is sore (my usual start of PMS/PMDD) . So probably on track for AF at the end of next weekendRant: Really tired from my visit to my yearly physical at my GP. I had to have a big blood draw, which I hate! I guess I'm lucky I didn't faint.
Rave: Not really anything to rave about, but I'm glad my GP trusts me and is sending me back to physical therapy for my current neck issues (this is a normal thing for me as I have chronic pain/muscle spasms/hypermobility/fibromyalgia).
Will come back for tags.

@b_1029 *dying* LOLLLL, bog monster.
@misshelen86 Oh man! What a bittersweet weekend. *hugs* I hope the margaritas helped!
@shamrocandroll *hugs you so hard* It is going to be okay no matter what happens this weekend! We are here for you! And OMG, are you in CT? My friend is also worried about hiking in her area for that reason! She usually hikes solo or with her kids, so she is terrified!
Also, WTF about the "stop trying so hard"!!!? I've been given that advice by a friend already, and it really gets under my skin. T_T We love you, and we've got your back!

@flowntheloop You are too sweet. Thank you. I'm in rural NH, so this is definitely not something we generally expect around here! I called the police department on lunch today and they told me all reports have been of "exhibitionists" flashing people and no physical danger, so I guess that's... good? But still unnerving.

I prefer lakes as well, but walking on the beach on snowy winter days was unforgettable! I guess I miss parts of New England in general. Less of the city parts...more of the woodsy parts. The food was also pretty delicious!
