Re: TWW Monday 5/18
CD/DPO: 23/8
Timing: -4, -2, -1, +1
Typical LP length: 12 but taking progesterone
Testing: getting anxious but still going to try to wait for the weekend!
R/R: Ugh, I’ve got all the Monday feelings today! I’m just not in the mood to do anything! I also just feel like this progesterone is kicking my butt a little bit. All day yesterday I was feeling moody and sad, on top of the rest of the side effects. Obviously it’ll be worth it if it works, but the not knowing is killing me!
CS/Q:
Timing: Hopefully spot on!
Typical LP length: 14-16 days
Testing: Tomorrow...😬
R/R: Happy Monday!! I hope everyone had a great weekend!! Mine was really nice...we relaxed quite a bit, but also got more yard work/landscaping done & cleaned the house a bit. We watched Die Hard, so now I’ll finally get all the references in Brooklyn99! Should be another busy work week, which hopefully passes the time quickly to the 3-day weekend! Testing tomorrow...trying to be optimistic, but I’m honestly not super hopeful. Just ready for it to get here so we know one way or another!
CS/Q: None.
*Edited to fix spacing.*
@bluetickgal oh my gosh...it just dawned on me that it is 5/18 and I knew you were testing on 5/19 so I had to come here to check on you 😂. That went fast! (For me at least haha). Good luck testing tomorrow!!
Month/Cycle: 21
CD/DPO: 15/1
Timing: Good
Typical LP length: 12-14
Testing: Nope
R/R: As predicted by @kpearse99 O was over the weekend! We had a pretty nice weekend, we decided to pull the trigger and paint a couple of rooms in our house, so we did sample patches, and now we're committed to painting 3 rooms We've decided on the colors for 2 of the 3, still need to find the right one for MH's office.
I made myself a lovely cosmo on Saturday night and we watched the new David Spade Netflix movie, which was horrible but we watch all of them so I guess it's par for the course I also moved on to 21 Day Fix Extreme this morning, which will basically take me up into my next O week, aka FET week! Now it's very Monday this morning, work is going to be painful today I think.
CS/Q: Nope

Timing: -3, -2, 0
Typical LP length: 11-13
Testing: likely the weekend, though i'd love to try to WFAF
R/R: what a whirlwind of a weekend! Saturday we saw my family for mom's bday. it was great to see everyone but it did kill the whole day, which wasn't intended. but i certainly made up for it yesterday spending the whole day doing yardwork, but my back is killing me today work is going to be super light today, so i will get some intense house cleaning done while the dogs are in daycare.
CS/Q:
@bluetickgal ahh tomorrow!! Hope it's good news!
@mvt2003 so many people are doing house projects these days! My sister and BIL have started some painting projects too. And we're halfway done with painting our kitchen and I may spend this week getting rid of the wallpaper in our foyer and painting there as well. So many projects we could do!
Month/Cycle: almost 3 years
CD/DPO: 20/5
Timing: -1, 0
Typical LP length: 13 days
Testing: only if AF is late
R/R: on furlough again this week. I got news late Friday that we are likely going to be WFH for the rest of the year. Both happy and sad about that. I'll have to make a point to go out everyday since I won't even have the short drive to and from work to catch some sun. Not sure if furloughs are continuing after this week but I'll find out when I work next week.
CS/Q: FF moved my O date a day later with my temp input this morning. Feeling much better about our timing!

@bluetickgal Yayyy for tomorrow! Here's hoping!!!!
@asf0613 I get so cranky when I have to spend an entire day on something like that but I'm glad you got to be productive the next day!
@inthewoods23 Hopefully no more furloughs!!! It's such a weird feeling knowing we're also probably not going back to the office this year and it's only May.

CD/DPO: 29/13 per ff but I think it’s 11.
Timing: Good
Typical LP length: 12-14 days
Testing: Bfn this morning
R/R: Pretty bummed about my test this morning. But I don’t know what else I expect anymore. That test had to but my cautious optimism back in it’s lane.. 😕 anyways, it was a busy weekend for me. I worked, and just did a few things around the house. We’re supposed to go to a motor cross race this weekend, that Fil participates in, and camp with them. You just watch the track from where ever your “camped” so it’s pretty easy to social distance at these things. Not really ready to handle af in a camper with other people. But it is what is is. My in-laws are good people, and I enjoy spending time with them. The puppy has an appt for shots later today, so besides that, it should be a pretty chill day. The weather is nice, thank God.

@mvt2003 ah, thanks friend...love that gif! Painting can be a pain, but it’s so awesome seeing it once it’s finished! Hope it goes smoothly and you’ll have 3 freshly painted rooms before you know it! Good for you on continuing with the 21 Day Fix Extreme...I need some of your motivation!
@bluetickgal I think we are supposed to warm up this week so that will be nice. It was lovely on Saturday and then dropped into the 50s yesterday. The WFH is kind of just a rumor at this point. Not really sure. It was something my boss mentioned on Friday after he had talked to our HR. We might be at the "we're looking to possibly do this" stage.

@mvt2003 we’ve been putting off painting a couple rooms for a while now...good for you for getting it done!
@asf0613 it’s sounds like you were busy this weekend! Hopefully your dog-free cleaning day is going well!
@inthewoods23 your timing looks great with the new O day!
@photographerwife ugh so sorry about the BFN!
@bluetickgal All the FX for you tomorrow!!! I'm glad you had a good weekend. Also, LOVE Brooklyn 99. I haven't ever watched Die Hard (I've seen bits and pieces of it) so I don't get all those references. haha
@mvt2003 Yay for O and yay for painting!! Hopefully you can pick an awesome color for YH's office. May I suggest purple or neon orange? haha jk. Also kudos to you for doing 21DFE!
@asf0613 It's so much easier to get house cleaning done when the dogs aren't home. I swear my yorkie decides to play with a toy right where I'm trying to vacuum, so he's always in the way. Hope you have a good, productive day!
@inthewoods23 Sorry about furloughs again and possibly working from home the rest of the year. It's crazy to think that this could affect everything for that long.
@photographerwife I'm so sorry about your BFN. Sending hugs friend. I hope you're able to get out in the nice weather and enjoy it a bit.

R/R: Not much going on in my world right now. We had a pretty lazy day yesterday which was nice. I spent a couple hours zooming with my family and playing Kahoot. That's become a weekly tradition on Sundays. It's supposed to be rainy and gross the next few days, so I'm hoping to be productive inside the house and get it clean, so when the nice weather comes back I can spend my days sitting outside reading. But we'll see.

@runningoncookies I'm sorry you're having a tough day. I feel you though. It's a Monday Monday.
@bluetickgal Good luck tomorrow! I also have never watched Die Hard, but I also am not caught up on Brooklyn 99. I do love that show though!
@mvt2003 Lol about the David Spade movie. I love him! But yeah those Netflix movies are hit or miss for sure.
@asf0613 I need to clean too. Will I? Meh. Doubtful. Sending you all the productivity vibes!
@inthewoods23 The rest of the year?? That's crazy! But if I could do that with my job I 100% would.
@photographerwife So sorry about the test. But as others have said- hopefully it's just too early!
@linzrunz I need to look that game up. The only video call games we have done are in that House Party app where you can play Heads Up. It's pretty fun!

R/R: Nothing too exciting, just working on unemployment stuff and tax stuff and all that boring stuff. My accountant of several years quit his job earlier this year, so I have this new accountant who is VERY hard to get a hold of. She also doesn't work too much "digitally" so good luck trying to email her questions. *sigh* It's also rainy today so I feel blah. Oh! I did make homemade ice cream yesterday and it's delicious!
CS/Q: no
@shlecks homemade ice cream?!? do you have a special appliance for that?
@shlecks your tags seem to be fine! I do miss going into the office. In the future I think I'd probably want to WFH for a week every month or something. I finally got to doing our taxes this weekend. It just sucks to go through and we have to pay this year 😢 on the plus side I got notified that Congress passed a credit for home improvements and for installing an EV charger in our house that wasn't passed at the time we did our 2018 taxes so I get to send in an amendment for an extra $650 refund! Eases the burden of paying this year.
