R/R: Not much going on today. I got my brochure for the huge Music Ed conference that's held annually in December in the mail yesterday. I'm super excited for it and hoping my principal approves my request to attend. I've gone the last two years (and went back in college too) and had a blast. The timing is perfect this year too because it's the day after my winter concert which will be a perfect day to be out of school and attend a conference.

WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPKs, tracking CM
R/R: Same old same old, AF, work, etc.
This guy at work is up my ass about reviewing something that isn’t due for awhile, the partner in charge of the client doesn’t care about it, and the client doesn’t care about it. We usually don’t issue it until October and I just don’t have time for it right now. But this guy sucks and was probably told in his review that he needs to get things done more timely. Not my problem. I finally emailed the partner and asked if it could be done next week and CC’d the annoying guy. The partner replied basically like “um of course” so hopefully that ends it. I don’t usually do stuff like that but AF and its (her?) constant reminder that I’m not KU making me cranky.
CS/Q: I’ll start temping on Saturday
@gingermama29 FX you get approved to go to the conference!!! Is it in a fun place, or just a conference center?
@inthewoods23 I am so hyped for you today, I'm going to be thinking about you all day today!!! Hoping everything goes well, and anxiously awaiting an update as soon as you're able to!

R/R: To add insult to injury, this AF cycle has been particularly beastly, which always puts me in an excellent mood (ha!). We were up pretty late processing that we're out for another month, so waking up this morning was brutal too. Might try to hit the gym for a run tonight, might end up sitting on the couch.
I'm still in my upset place about AF, hoping I reach Bill Belichick by the end of today. A run might help that, but let's not get too crazy here!
CS/Q: Nope. Fell asleep with the Femometer in my mouth again this morning though, so that was fun. At least MH didn't take a pic of me this time!

@bows22 MH is dealing with a similar situation. One of his coworkers was told they need to step up on accuracy, so they have been going through everyone else's work looking for errors to "prove" they are in the scope of normal. They've found one or two very small mistakes MH made and went running to management about it - where the mistakes this co-worker was making are HUGE. (Like forgetting to record whole data sets, where they found a single number in a whole data set MH entered wrong) Finally MH emailed everybody basically like "Stay in your lane... mmmh kay?" Luckily management has got his back, but it's annoying.

@gingermama29 Sorry for AF... Your music conference sounds so fun! Hope you get the approval. Going back to the celebrity look-a-like... it didn't even occur to me that you would have red hair by your screen name. I eat a lot of ginger/ginger chews so in my mind you loved ginger like I do, hahahaha
@bows22 Sorry for AF... Ugh, hate annoying coworkers. Now you set the precedent so let's hope they get it!
@mvt2003 Sorry for AF... I think a day on the couch with some sort of sweet like ice cream is deserved!

R/R: Rave: My SIL wedding this weekend was perfect - gorgeous weather, good food/music, beautiful venue and they looked so stunning. Of course I cried during the ceremony. It was a short ceremony and the bridal party stayed standing next to them the whole time. I took my SIL bouquet and held it up to cover the fact that I was taking a tissue out of my bra lolol... no one noticed. Thank you all who wished me well
Rant: I'm so sleep deprived!! The entire weekend I stayed up way too late and woke up early, and Sunday my stomach was upset all night and I have issues sleeping if I'm nauseous. Still didn't feel so hot yesterday so I didn't post. Last night was supposed to be my night to catch up and my dog wouldn't stop licking and biting his paws. He sometimes has allergies in the fall. I tried giving him a half of a Benedryl but it didn't do anything. I'll give him an oatmeal bath tonight. Going to be a long day.

WAYDTGKU: Clomid, IUI, Prenatals, OPK, Ava Bracelet, Trigger Shot
R/R: I gave myself the trigger shot last night all by myself! Woot Woot! (Big deal for this needle-phobic who used to pass out everytime I got a shot or labs)!
So I woke up this morning with a raging UTI... called my doctor panicked because I thought they would cancel my IUI. They said not to worry that it won't effect it and to go to an urgent care for antibiotics. I go, get the prescription and I'm halfway to work and the urgent care doctor calls and asks me to come back. I get there and they put me in the exam room and the doctor and nurse come in all excited... the pregnancy tests had come back positive... from the trigger shot! They felt horrible! But it was cute how excited they were for me and they told me to call back in two weeks and let them know how it goes.

@inthewoods23 thinking of you!! FX!
@gingermama29 Your music conference sounds awesome. I secretly love conferences, and though most of my coworkers do not like them, I always volunteer! Talking to strangers? Eating buffet? Not being at work? What's not to love!?
@bows22 I love that email. I occasionally have to copy a partner on something; I always feel both like an A**hole, and like celebrating.
@mvt2003 AF sucks. Mine was beastly this cycle, too, and I want to complain to the management about it.
@feather_heather I'm impressed you did your own shot!
@bows22 I’m glad you solved that issue! Way to tcob!
@mvt2003 sorry life’s rough right now. I hope you can ride a nice endorphin high of exercise or just some chocolate on the couch or both tonight!
@misshelen86 Sorry about another curveball. I hope it just goes away on its own quickly and painlessly. You’ve got to be due to catch a break soon! ❤️
@kpearse99 will you get some time to explore Houston? I’ve never been to tx, but it seems like a neat place to visit!
@whatsbumpinpumpkin I loled about your waydtgku. Sorry about the jealousy. I hear you. I look at every pregnant belly a little too long with a little ache inside. Sigh. I hope we all get there.
@ziggymama06 hi! I’m glad you had a good time at the wedding! I’ve become such a weepy mess at weddings these last few years. I love a good wedding!

I mean, I find myself hiding how I feel from myself, so I’m working hard on seeing each thought and feeling and imagining sending it off down a river. I thinks it’s helping some. But, geez, there sure are a lot of tough feelings to send on their way.

@misshelen86 FX for good results! Enjoy your acupuncture appointment.
@kpearse99 have fun in Houston!! Glad travel will be slowing down after this though.
@whatsbumpinpumpkin yay for your friend but I also definitely get the jealousy too. The mixed emotions are so hard.
@ziggymama06 oh haha, yup I'm a full out ginger - red hair and freckles. Glad you had a fun family wedding weekend! Sounds like it was beautiful.
@feather_heather you are a champ for giving yourself the shot!! I'm also a needle-phobe. Sorry for the UTI but I'm glad it won't affect your IUI.
@litigatorgal one of the reasons I love going to this conference so much is I get to see a lot of friends from college! My cooperating teachers from student teaching usually attend too and it's always so fun to catch up with everyone. Plus I love the workshops and performances.
@begging4abump sorry you're struggling with bottling emotions. I hope that visualization of sending it down a river helps.

@begging4abump love your visualization technique! Hope it continues to help! I’ve also been known to bottle up emotions, but I’ve gotten better about sharing them with DH at least! I do need to learn to let anxieties go though...if I can’t change it, just let it go!
@bows22 I love when people have reviews that they need to improve something, and they still make it about other people. *eyeroll *
@mvt2003 there is no way you could get me to run day 2 of AF. I have terrible experiences running during AF.
@bluetickgal I also had grilled cheese tonight! With tomato soup
@begging4abump that is a great visualization! I am an over sharer, but don't always deal with them and they still come back up later.
@feather_heather awesome job with the trigger shot! I don't know if I could do it myself. Also, sorry about the uti.
@kpearse99 will you go back in for monitoring if you haven't gotten AF by a certain day?
I'm sorry I can't reply to everyone today, but know Im always lurking

R/R: I am SLAMMED at work lately and just can't catch up. It's so exhausting going to work every day and feeling like I'm taking two steps back for every step I accomplish. I am working really hard on leaving work at work and getting out on time. I think I'm doing a good job and then H will make a comment about me staying late Again. Its hard y'all. I just cant win. I either feel like I'm failing work, or failing at being a wife. I'm also getting anxious about restarting testing and what our path forward is. Just ugh too much mental load.

Mane who knows, as far as I go 🤣 my boobs are typically sore 5 days before AF arrived and I got nothing! The last two cycles were 38-40 days long so I thought I’d be feeling something by now.
@millpe if AF doesn’t come by this weekend I will call my RE and set up bloodwork to try and determine where I am in my cycle. As far as work and life goes... I hear ya. I’ve been there. MH goes through it too with his work and working late. At the end of the day though, what matters most to you? Your life with YH or work? Work is work.... but your life is YOUR LIFE. I do believe there are happy mediums in this scenario but you have to figure them out like a trial and error. Maybe you only work late two nights a week. Or can you work through your lunch? (A lot of people don’t like to do that, but I’m used to it... often i would rather eat lunch at my desk and keep working so I can get my stuff done and leave when I’m supposed to) I also get that it’s your name on things at work. You own your own amount of efforts. So i see both sides, just trying to help give you options and let you know that at the end of the day... YH is there for you, and your family will be there for you.... not your job. ♥️♥️♥️ I hope you find some clarity soon though.

@millpe I so feel your work stress right now. Is it a temporary thing where if you put your nose to the ground for the next couple of weeks you can go back to normal again? If so, I say go for it so you can put it behind you!
@millpe last month was like that for me. I’m so thankful it’s calmed down this month
@millpe I've totally been there with work and DH. Hopefully this is something temporary and hubs can just understand that. I worked full time and put myself through school in the evenings so there was a few years where I would be home late 2-3 times a week and every Saturday morning. It's tough but you guys can get through it. Just talk it out. Now I'm late from work once or twice a month if I have a late meeting. I totally get that burnt out failing feeling... hang in there you're doing great!
