CS/Q: nothing fancy. My temps keep going up and down

R/R: Been such lovely weather here today! It was like 76F/24C which is our summer weather 😆 I prefer it though because than it’s not too hot to do anything outside and it’s actually enjoyable! DH and I are about to have a sunset BBQ picnic and I made myself a lovely strawberry daiquiri. Don’t mind the yard work in the background 🙈
CS/Q: looks like I’m entering my FW early
Due: 6 Nov 2021
@inthewoods23 Definitely take a bit of a break! You deserve it! Motivation for the other stuff will come.
@asf0613 Sweatpants definitely do take up a lot of space in the laundry. Don't feel bad about forgetting that laundry is a thing for a few days. When I moved I forgot it was a thing for about 2 weeks (because I have WAY too many clothes so I -could-forget for that long) and it took a few loads to recover. You've got this!
Month/Cycle: 5/5 (3 unbenched)
CD: 16
WAYDTGKU: prenatals + B6, BBT charting, taking a break from OPKs and CM tracking this month
R/R: I've been lurking the dailies but haven't been up to participating much. The weekend dailies seem less intimidating right now. School is really picking up now with midterms next week, drafts of term papers coming due tomorrow, and starting my first drug and alcohol counseling continuing education course tomorrow. I'm just so overwhelmed with everything right now that I just need to take a step back from things some days. Hopefully I'll O over the weekend. CD 17/18 seems to be the trend lately. I'm sending all of you lots of love!

@jackie_dunny we had a super gorgeous day on Tuesday. Today is definitely spring-y in the upper 50s. Just a hoodie needed while outside right now. Your little picnic looks great!
