R/R: I finally got some sleep!! After laying in bed for about 3-4 hours yesterday I finally managed to fall asleep at about 2:40 according to my sleep recorder (both DH and I talk in our sleep)!! I slept a little late today but I’m not that upset about it because I needed the sleep. Plus there’s nothing to do anyway 😩 currently just playing Animal Crossing to pass the time after daily chores are done. Anyone else into AC?

CS/Q:

gingermama29 · April 2020

@jackie_dunny glad you slept better last night! I haven't ever tried AC but I've been kinda curious about it.

WAYDTGKU: prenatals, temping, currently NTNP

R/R: We're supposed to get snow tonight and tomorrow. I'm usually someone that loves snow, especially with how disappointing winter was but it's late enough in the season and we've had warm enough days sprinkled in that I'm mentally done with snow until November. I think my siblings and I are planning a Mario Kart/Zoom hangout at some point today. I'm looking forward to it!

WAYDTGKU: Clearblue advanced OPK, bbt, prenatals

R/R: not a whole lot going on for me today. DH is having issues with his unemployment, so we’re gonna try to figure that out. (He’s only had reduced hours) and probably just do some things around the house. We weren’t able to HIO on what I think was o day yesterday, so I hope we have good enough timing.

I had to edit this because I got too excited responding to @jackie_dunny about animal crossing that I didn’t put my own r/r. 😅

CS/Q:

@jackie_dunny sorry you’ve been sleeping so bad lately. I hate sleeping in too, but at least you don’t have much to do today. I love animal crossing too! I haven’t had the chance to play in a day or so, but my building that Tom nook is in (can’t remember what it’s called) was being built when I left off, so I’m starting to make good progress! I’ve never been a huge gamer, but I’ve always loved games like sims and stardew valley, so DH bought ac for me!

@gingermama29 oh yuck. I totally don’t blame you at all. It was almost 90 here yesterday. I can’t imagine getting snow now.. although we did get a cold front today, it won’t be long at all for the south to have 100 degree weather. Enjoy your game!

kpearse99 · April 2020

@jackie_dunny yay for better sleep! I think I slept better last night too, compared to the previous night! I needed to take a 20 minute power nap yesterday just to get through the rest of the day!

@gingermama29 that zoom hangout sounds awesome!!! So fun! I'm the same as you with snow. I hate winter, but I do love to get one big (or decent sized) snow storm a year and we didn't get that at all this winter! But it's been so lovely the last few weeks that if I saw a chance of snow I'd be livid! haha Tomorrow will be pretty chilly and windy but no chance of snow... then it goes right back up to 60 for the weekend!

Month/Cycle: I think from now on I'm just going to give how many months and leave out the cycles... it's too confusing to calculate the differences anymore and the months number is large enough I don't need to keep seeing two large numbers...soooooo..... 19 months. It's been 19 months.

CD: I think 5.... Where's my cycle buddy @mvt2003 at?!

WAYDTGKU: PNV and NTNP

R/R: This week is dragging on, right? Or is it just me? I think I'm going to make a small little ham dinner for DH and I for Easter dinner on Sunday and our favorite roasted brussel sprouts. I want one other small side dish... any suggestions? I love mashed potatoes but I don't know if I want to go through all of that for just two people...

CS/Q: Nothing

mvt2003 · April 2020

@kpearse99 Hahaha I'm on a conference call! Will be here in a few!

photographerwife · April 2020

@kpearse99 that sounds like an awesome Easter dinner. DH and his family always do fried fish that they catch before Easter! I’m a sucker for ham though.

WAYDTGKU: Giving it the old college try

R/R: Having standing conference calls first thing in the morning is seriously putting a crimp in my morning routine!

I've got to brave the grocery store at some point today - we can't get any online order windows at all right now. I'm going to go to a smaller local store this afternoon and hope for the best. I'm also starting to think about Easter too, we're contemplating ordering dinner from a local restaurant for ourselves, and baking a small cake. It's going to be an odd holiday for sure this year.

CS/Q: Nope

optimisticoctopus · April 2020

@jackie_dunny glad you got some sleep!! I talk in my sleep too, but only when I’m overtired or stressed haha!

@gingermama29 I would NOT be happy to get snow in April! I’m ready for warm sunny summer days haha!

@photographerwife good luck with getting all your things done today!

@kpearse99 I have also been feeling like this week is dragging! Also, something I (sometimes) make as a side dish when we are in a mashed potatoes mood is mashed cauliflower. It sounds really weird but it’s honestly delicious and not nearly as much work as potatoes! We cook frozen riced cauliflower, then do a quick mash with plenty of of butter, salt/pepper, garlic, and a little Parmesan cheese. Delicious and takes minimal time and effort!

@mvt2003 good luck at the grocery store!

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD: 16

WAYDTGKU: temping, prenatals, OPKs, tracking CM

R/R: Got a very positive OPK this morning, so I’m pretty psyched about that! Other than that having a fairly quiet day. Even though we are all working from home, our district is still having spring break, which starts tomorrow. So I’m feeling minimally motivated to do work today haha!

mvt2003 · April 2020

@jackie_dunny Glad you got some sleep!!!

@gingermama29 Your snow is my rainstorm! It's been such a weird winter weather-wise! I'm ready for warmer weather at this point.

@photographerwife your timing still looks good to me!!! So sorry YH is having issues figuring out unemployment, it's so stressful!

@kpearse99 I'm thinking about our Easter menu too! We bought a keto cake mix, and are going to bake that off. MH is not a fan of ham or lamb, so I'm going to try to think outside the box for this holiday. I was contemplating going to a local BBQ restaurant and getting plates for dinner!

@runningoncookies I'm feeling you on the motivation flagging! Part of it is the weather for me, when it's gray and rainy I just feel blah!

kpearse99 · April 2020

@photographerwife I like ham too! And I feel like I only have once a year... so we need to have it on Sunday! haha

@mvt2003 "giving it the old college try"

DEAD!!!!! But now after reading your post about looking into ordering a small Easter dinner I wanna do that! hahaha hmmmmmm decisions, decisions!

@runningoncookies We've made mashed cauliflower before too, it was so freaking good! A little labor intensive though! haha

asf0613 · April 2020

@jackie_dunny i play pocket camp which is fun! trying to get DH to play. i explained its probably the same concept of his Clash of Clans that he's been playing for like 3 years but cuter

@gingermama29 snow?! ugh im with you, thats like mentally over winter already, coats are away too. i love that your family does the mariokart/zoom calls! i need to get my mom on zoom, would be good to chat especially with easter this weekend.
@photographerwife i have a lot of friends in that boat having issues with the reduced hours and applying. GL!
@kpearse99 your easter dinner sounds so nice!! i love roasted brussels sprouts. not that im a huge veggie person but i also love making creamed spinach (slow cooker for the win!) or roasted cauliflower with parmesan and breadcrumbs. otherwise something super easy is polenta if you're looking for a carb.
@mvt2003 i havent been able to get anything online either. ill be going to the store tomorrow (is tomorrow friday? are there days anymore?) New mandate for NJ now is that everyone has to wear a mask in store. i think we have a few in the basement from painting? not looking forward to it.
@runningoncookies yay for your positive OPK! and i also love riced cauliflower! my butter-to-veggie ratio is definitely not healthy though

Month/Cycle: 4/3

WAYDTGKU: prenatals, opks, bbt

R/R: i pretty much just got out of bed. i answered some emails from my phone but just wanted to be lazy for a little bit! its gross out here today so nothing exciting planned either. yesterday i rearranged some furniture in our spare bedroom to make more space for my workouts. i really just rotated the twin bed to put it against the wall but made a huge difference!! might never move it back!

CS/Q: guys there are only three dots on here, but i am irrationally excited about having a "chart" now

gingermama29 · April 2020

@photographerwife timing still looks good! Good luck to YH with the unemployment claim. I know NY's has been crazy hard to get through.

@kpearse99 that dinner sounds amazing. I think we're doing roasted brussel sprouts tonight. Sounds like your could use a fruit as a side.

@mvt2003 ordering from a local restaurant sounds like a good Easter plan. I imagine they'll be grateful for the business too.

@runningoncookies glad you're still getting spring break. Enjoy some time to yourself! And yay for a positive OPK!

@asf0613 the room looks great! Lazy mornings are so nice sometimes. I hope you enjoyed it!

jackie_dunny · April 2020

@gingermama29 stay away snow! Mario kart session with your siblings sounds fun!

@photographerwife too funny about posting early! DH bought AC for me too as a surprise! I also love games like sims but have never played stardew valley. Maybe I’ll have to check it out. Hopefully
you get some answers soon about YH’s unemployment.

@kpearse99 mm a ham dinner sounds lovely!

@mvt2003 boo early conference calls! We can’t get any online shopping orders in either. GL braving the store!

@runningoncookies yay spring break! Any stay-cation plans?

@asf0613 I played pocket camp briefly and when DH saw I was obsessed with it, he just bought me New Horizons randomly. I hadn’t played since the original yearssss ago so it was a fun surprise. DH is also very obsessed with clash of clans! Lol about being excited for charting! This is your first chart, correct? Spare bedroom looks good!

optimisticoctopus · April 2020

@asf0613 your workout space looks great! DH and I moved our coffee table out of the way for our workouts this week, so I totally get how you feel...it's so nice having extra space to move!

@jackie_dunny not really! Probably just going to read, watch Netflix, and work on my paint by numbers project lol

asf0613 · April 2020

@jackie_dunny first chart ever! cant wait to watch it grow lol

dobiemom11 · April 2020
