Re: WTO Weekend 4.18-4.19
Month/Cycle: 4/5
CD: 4
WAYDTGKU: Temping, monitoring CM, wearing my stupid Ava bracelet that sucks lol, PNVs, Vitamin C, B6, going to try to HIO ED during FW this cycle
R/R: Where is everyone? I had too many Claws last night and feel like total ass today, no more drinking this cycle for me so at least my temps will hopefully be good for a change. We went through both Taco Cabana and Chick Fil A this morning and had a very unhealthy breakfast feast but going back to eating healthy tomorrow too. Also one of my neighbors had a 20-30 person wedding reception at their house last night (
) and I totally called 311 and narc'ed them out. All 311 can do is send someone out to investigate in 3-5 days though. WTAF. If my neighborhood turns into a hot spot I am going to be livid.
CS/Q: Nothing to see yet
GTKY: What’s your favorite way to pass the time during this global shutdown? Watch way too much news and Netlfix/Hulu/Amazon/Disney/alllllll the things, work even more than usual out of boredom and job insecurity, annoy DH while he is playing video games and not paying attention to me

WAYDTGKU: Tons of supplements, have cut down the meds to just one due to recent weird blood levels, and exercising to be in prime condition for baby-making.

CS/Q: Just two lonely dots so far.
GTKY: What’s your favorite way to pass the time during this global shutdown? Working a ton on the computer. In my free time: Checking TB too much for new posts, Taking walks in nature, was Binging the news but had to shut that crap off for the sake of my sanity. (I still tune in every couple of days to keep up with the latest developments.)
@asf0613 I don't know how people don't get it, it's so frustrating! I emailed our HOA president too and he wrote back "yeah I heard they were forced to move their daughter's wedding to their home because the country club closed." FORCED TO? Gahhhhhh.
