R/R: I’ve been in the office a lot and have been on a great streak of packing my lunch. But I have lunch plans for the next 2 days and I’m so excited to not pack. It will be a lot less healthy than my packed lunch but so much better tasting haha.

@bows22 Enjoy your lunch packing break! Are you going anywhere good for lunch?
Edit: spelling
@tyrion_ Happy Birthday!! 🎉 Hope you have a great day...starting it off with Chick-Fila sounds wonderful!

R/R: Everything is seemingly coming at once! I got the email last night that means my giant work project has arrived, I've got multiple other work things going on, and to top it all off MH's family has been visited by the drama llama as of last night. His uncle is having a complete meltdown and emails and phone calls were flying last night after 10pm. Uncle has started trying to bring me and my SiL into it (which we want ZERO part of) and MH is livid. (So much for avoiding stress as we start to navigate IF, right?
)
Tonight is MH's lifting night with his brother, and I'm planning to escape to the craft store to pick up some more yarn for my latest project. Hoping that gets to happen!!!
CS/Q: Nope

@tyrion_ chick fil a breakfast sounds like the perfect birthday treat!
@mvt2003 sorry things are getting crazy! At least they could be good distractions? The work stuff at least, I guess drama that YH is furious about can’t be good.

@bows22 - Love when I don't have to pack a lunch. I don't do it very often though, because it's so much more expensive then just eating leftovers.
@tyrion_ - Happy Birthday!
@mvt2003 - Solo shopping trips to the craft store are my fave. We just had a hobby lobby open on the cape and I am so excited to go lol

R/R: Feeling a bit better today. I think every day will get easier and easier. I hung some wallpaper and finished the peel and stick backsplash in our RV this weekend (before shit hit the fan), so I figured I'd share that today to try to have something positive to say (photo in spoiler)

@tyrion_ Happy birthday! Glad to see you treating yourself.
@mvt2003 so sorry for the family drama!! I hope things resolve quickly and as smoothly as possible!!
@feather_heather Sorry about the tests. Your kitchen looks beautiful!

Timing: good
Typical LP length: 13-14 not counting spotting
Testing: nah
R/R: Finally have gotten back into an exercise routine, so I’m feeling better knowing that I’m making progress on being healthier. And those endorphins sure do help, too.
Breasts were super tender last night when mh and I were...spending time together. I must have screamed because he looked terrified. Ugh, so that’s probably a bad sign about this cycle, but I guess I’ll see soon enough. Womp, womp
CS/Q: just kinda plateauing
@begging4abump good for you for getting into an exercise routine. I keep saying, I really need to do that! I hope the boob pain is a good sign!
@mvt2003 and @bows22 if we all graduate to June together I might drop from joy. Especially for the two of you. Ahhhhh I’m crossing everything and wishing and hoping for us!
@saladflambe I destroyed those minis. They’re so dang good.
@feather_heather Sorry about the BFN. And holy smokes your RV kitchen is nicer than most regular kitchens! Beautiful!
@begging4abump Hopefully there’s a better reason for your sore boobs. And I agree on those endorphins being helpful. I’m a ball of anxiety on days I skip a workout. It’s such a nice release! Hope you’re able to keep it up.

R/R: I ranted a little in WTF wednesday, mainly about how things have been a lot lately but I’m trying to think of the positives as well. Also H got a second job. He’s planning on eventually leaving the first. He has good reasons and I want to be supportive but it’s scary at the same time. I will have to go back to my insurance as we will lose his coverage until he can get new coverage after 3 months at the new place. I’m scared because I was excited that the insurance we have now is pretty good all things considered and *TW
End TW*
I could always get that coverage if I moved up (currently we work for the same company but different roles, he’s higher than me), but I don’t really want that and want to leave. I don’t know what we will end up with at his new job. I’m trying not to think about it to much. I don’t want to put off ttc because that’s not what I want to do. So I’m just like wtf right now. Very confusing.
Rave: I got to be on a podcast last night with some friends from work! It was so fun!!! Also I just need to get through tonight and then I have two days off.
CS/Q: What’s the rule on discussing symptoms here? Do we do it at all? Just post our chart? Add a trigger? Just curious.
Af is due on Saturday but with a later O date I wouldn’t be surprised if it came on Sunday or Monday instead. I’m not going to test unless it’s later than Monday with no pre-AF symptoms. Cycles can range from 25-29 days for me usually. I stopped temping but I might start back up tomorrow to monitor for a drop. I’m not confident at all about this cycle.
@bows22 lunch sounds so nice!! And you have a nice chart!
@tyrion_ yay happy birthday!! Chick fil a breakfast sounds yum! Hope you enjoy your day! You have a pretty chart as well!
@mvt2003 sorry you had to deal with the drama! Definitely hope you don’t get dragged in! I’m glad you have time to yourself and your crafts tonight
@feather_heather I’m happy you’re feeling a bit better. Time definitely helps! I’ve been through something a little similar so I’m available if you ever need to talk! Your RV kitchen is fabulous!! Looks so good!
@begging4abump yay for exercise! Glad you’re getting back into it! & hope those sore bbs are a good sign instead of a bad one.
