1. The Diet Coke I bought at lunch 2. Running - my mental health savior 3. My closet purge! So much easier to get dressed in the morning. 4. My pup - she's the sweetest (and most spoiled, but she deserves it!) 5. Iced green tea 6. Knitting and crafting in general really 7. MH - it takes a special person to put up with all of my crazy these days. 8. Derry Girls - dying laughing at it 9. My OB-GYN's office called and had to change my appointment, but they actually moved it to the same time by at the office closer to my house, so it's still a win. 10. My friends here on TTGP. I've felt very isolated and frightened for the last 6 months especially, and knowing I have this safe place has helped keep me together.

1. My husband will always be #1 on my list of things I'm grateful for. I'll save you all the mushy stuff but he is my world. 2. This seems silly but I just got some blue light blocking glasses (after spending thousands on laser eye surgery so I wouldn't have to wear glasses ) and they're saving me having to work on a computer all day. Bought MH some too and he looks so sexy in his glasses. 3. Carbs. Which is great for this PCOS gal but gimme all the carbs during the TWW. 4. Golfing, something MH and I love to do together. It gets us out of the house and when the weather it's nice, it's the best. 5. Our upcoming honeymoon! We leave on the 26th, which will either be good timing because I'll be distraught after our 2nd IUI fails or great timing because we could have our BFP then 16 glorious days to ourselves. 6. The fuzzy blanket my dad/boss gave me for my office chair. It's like sitting in a cloud. 7. My cats. They've been extra cuddly lately and I love them for it (even tho one of them is BAD and keeps peeing all over the house). 8. My grandmother. She was in the hospital last week and it really scared me that she may not live to meet her first great-grandchild (but she's been discharged and seems to be doing OK since then). 9. Dry shampoo. This should really be like #2. 10. TB and all of you always have to be in my top 10 because y'all are my lifeline. I've been around here for over a year so I've seen lots of people come and go but the community we've built remains and for that I am forever grateful. shoutout to all my OG bumpies, you know who you are.

1. DH and the surprise coffee he brought me today (shhhh coffee is illegal on this challenge but I don’t care. Take sugar but you’ll have to pry my coffee from my cold dead hands) 2. Gym friends 3. Bump friends. I totally agree with everything @kiki047 said - also heeeeey fellow TTGP grandma! 4. My dog! I attempted to run with him this morning and he was just the cutest 5. Understanding coworkers. Our director knows what’s going on (ish) with me after a lovely mental breakdown one day. She did IVF for both her kids and is a good resource in terms of figuring out how tf to stay focused on work during IF 6. DH being on board for the IUI. I know it’s not a sure thing but I feel a lot more hopeful than TI alone 7. The cats! Can’t forget my favorite little cuddly furballs. 8. Have I said coffee yet? It just makes me so happy 9. I got a “good grief” journal this week (from Sadie Banks- check it out) and am liking it so far. Actually every day you’re supposed to make a list of things you’re thankful for too! 10. DH and I are both taking pto on Friday and doing a day date. I. am. so. excited.
@mvt2003 I've already done some purging in my closet but I haven't fully committed to the "if you haven't worn it for a whole year then toss it." Some things I just have to be in the right mood for to want to wear it! It's so hard to purge even though we all know we only wear half of what's in our closets on a regular basis!
@kiki047 I've thought about those! DH thinks I'm weird when I do the blue light filter on my phone after sunset. Like dude it's sooo bright at night staring at your phone. I stare at my computer screen all day, I should probably get the filter glasses. Save my eyes!
@b_1029 yeah girl! So happy to see you excited about your date!
1. DH getting my through my mental messes (God I really hope Sunday didn't mess anything up) 2. TB fam, duh, 'nuff said 3. My indoor, but outdoor living cat who now paws at the patio door asking to be let out, then sits there like she's not sure she wants to be outside 4. Stupid puns, but I love them 5. Music 6. Massages 7. Hugs 8. Boots 9. Motivational embryo posters (omg he just sent me a new one - "womb. There it is! Womb. There it is!" 😂) 10. The fact that I had my gauze ready for last night's PIO shot. It came out in a gush, but I was ready! No blood on my pants or underwear. Phew!

Sorry @ziggymama06 didn't respond to your question earlier. We leave for Hawaii a week today! Doing 3 islands, Maui, Oahu and Kauai. Sooo excited. I've been to Oahu a lot but never been to Maui or Kauai. MH has never been off the continent so he's like a little kid. He wakes up every morning with a countdown.

4. My pup - she's the sweetest (and most spoiled, but she deserves it!)
5. Iced green tea
6. Knitting and crafting in general really

8. Derry Girls - dying laughing at it
9. My OB-GYN's office called and had to change my appointment, but they actually moved it to the same time by at the office closer to my house, so it's still a win.
