Re: WTO Tuesday 4/7

  • Month/Cycle: 10/6

    CD: 14

    WAYDTGKU: prenatals, temping, currently NTNP

    R/R: Yesterday was a good day. I was super productive and got some cleaning done plus laundry. I was able to get outside in the sunshine and fresh air for a bit and baked brownies with DH. All in all, I had a nice day. Today's list includes folding laundry, more cross stitching, some lesson planning for next week, and my online department meeting tonight.

    WAYDTGKU: OPKs plus some irrational optimism :D 

    R/R: I feel like today is going to be one of *those* days where things just keep going slightly wrong. TMI warning of AF:

    It all started when my lunacup just would NOT go back in properly this morning. I pulled it out and reinserted 3x, and the stupid thing would not pop out fully inside, no matter what I did. I finally gave up and just put in a tampon. 

    Now it's going to be a day at work, I can feel it. Hopefully things turn around soon today!!!! I'm going to try to get out for a run at some point, hopefully that helps. 

    CS/Q: Nope

  • @mvt2003 WE ARE CYCLE DAY BUDDIES!!!! This MUST be a sign!  :D I hope that bit of amazing news will help turn your day around, friend <3

    @gingermama29 your day yesterday sounds amazing!!! Especially the brownies part! My mom made an apple pie yesterday and dropped half of it off for DH and I! yummy!

    Month/Cycle: 19/16

    CD: 3

    WAYDTGKU: PNV and NTNP

    R/R: Yesterday was a productive day for me too, but I woke up this morning in utter shock that it's only Tuesday. Ugh! Some more of the stuff that I ordered for the living room remodel came in yesterday! The new picture frames and other small decor items, so we'll be hanging them today. Just waiting for one more thing, which is a custom made sign from Etsy to go above the TV with lyrics from one of DH's favorite bands (PHISH) that says "Come Waste Your Time With Me"

    CS/Q: not charting.

  • @gingermama29 sounds like you had quite the productive day yesterday. Mm brownies 🤤 they’re my fave. I love baking with DH!

    @mvt2003 I hope it’s NOT one of those days where things just go wrong. I also really hate when my cup won’t insert. So frustrating! 

    @kpearse99 yay for decor coming in! It’s those little things that make a home feel like home to me. I love the lyrics sign for the TV

    Month/Cycle: NTNP

    CD: 8

    WAYDTGKU: Not using protection as much 

    R/R: I could NOT fall asleep last night. I just tossed and turned all night. I didn’t fall asleep until 6am so of course that means I slept late and I HATE sleeping late. I’ve just been in a bad mood all day. Not sure if it’s because of my sleeping in or I’m just tired of having nothing to do all day but I’m just so not in the mood today for life. Feeling super down.

    CS/Q: I had a weird (small) temp spike this morning but that could have been the lack of sleep so I’m not looking too much into it. It’s my watery CM that has me scratching my head. FF has put me in a green FW which as you can see is super early for me.

    @gingermama29 sounds like such a nice day! Hope you have another good one today

    @mvt2003 hope your day gets better!

    @kpearse99 new home decor is my favorite thing. That sign sounds so cute!

    @jackie_dunny I’m sorry you’re in a grumpy mood today...it’s so tough when you just wake up on the wrong side of the bed!

    Month/Cycle: 5/5

    WAYDTGKU: temping, prenatals, OPKs, tracking CM

    R/R: I started some online therapy with some of my students today and oh my god. They are so cute. It made me miss working with them 1000x more than I already did! Honestly I was so stressed about it before trying it, but the seeing how excited they were made everything feel okay!

  • @gingermama29 sounds like you have a good day planned! Boy do I miss brownies!! MMMMM

    @mvt2003 without fail when my mornings go bad, so does the rest of the day. Hope it at least ends on a positive note for you though!

    @kpearse99 I'm losing track of the days too! On Sunday I was like, it's not really Monday tomorrow is it?? Sigh

    @jackie_dunny hopefully you find something to bring your mood up. Is there anything you can do that you haven't done yet while stuck at home? That might help shake things up.

    @runningoncookies aww that's so sweet

    WAYDTGKU: HIO eventually, good thing it doesn't matter at the moment, PNV, vitamin D & E, L-arginine, probiotic, Conceive Plus, temping and OPKs

    R/R: DH's drum set is here!!! I nearly dropped the heaviest box as we were carrying it downstairs. It was 116lbs!!!! Then as I was helping get the bass kick drum out of the packaging (a box in a box), he changed what I thought he was going to do to get it out so the whole corner of the box weighing 40+lbs ended up on my hand and now there's a slight lump on the back of my hand. Ouch! We also had our robot lawn mower installed this morning so lots of fun new things in our house today

    CS/Q: temps are starting to be a little more consistent instead of like a mountain range, but nothing new.

    @runningoncookies Oh how wonderful that you got to work with your students again!! It makes all the difference to see them again, even if it's just for a little. It helps bring a sense of normalsy for them, I'm sure!

  • @mvt2003 I believe that box included all the toms, cymbals, rack stand, and additional cymbal stands. We got him a fairly nice one. Still less expensive than the $7500 one he originally wanted.

    Thank god I did yoga yesterday I guess? lmao

    @jackie_dunny yes it mows the lawn for us! It's basically like a Roomba but cuts grass instead. It doesn't do patterns or how you would typically mow a lawn, but it's electric so it goes out and mows our yard (front and back!) for a few hours, goes back to it's base to charge for about 2 hours then goes out again. It's so quiet you don't even know your yard is getting mowed. It's a lot cheaper than having a landscaping company come and mow your yard weekly. We came back from a week long vacation last year to a yard that looked like it had been mowed only 2-3 days ago. It's like a subscription service so we only pay for the months we have it. At the end of the season (November-ish) the company comes and packs it up for the winter. It's all insured and everything so if someone decided to steal it, the company gets a warning when it goes outside the border wire they stick in the ground. It was fantastic when we used it for the first time last year! Our grass is probably at least a half acre total so DH would take up to 4 hours mowing once a week. Saves sooo much time!

  • @mvt2003 I hope today was better than you were expecting.

    @kpearse99 your decor sounds so cute! Post pictures when you're done?

    @jackie_dunny sorry you had difficulty sleeping last night. Hopefully tonight will be better.

    @runningoncookies I'm glad you got some online time with your students. I haven't gotten to connect with mine online yet and I definitely miss them.

    @inthewoods23 I'm intrigued by a robot lawn mower. Glad you didn't actually drop the drum. Sounds like YH is going to have lots of fun.
