A coworker made the comment this weekend that she couldn’t imagine trying to get pregnant... ?! She doesn’t know we’re trying, but I literally cannot imagine not trying. 🙄🙄🙄
@photographerwife Ughhhhhhh seriously?! That's such an awful comment.

@photographerwife like TTC right now during this time or trying in general? Like she just thinks she will magically get pregnant? Or she wants only unplanned pregnancies? Regardless what a naive comment.

Apparently I need to learn how to read my texts better before I answer them.
I just committed to (and my SiL immediately signed me up for) a 7 mile virtual road race in August. I'm pretty sure I haven't run longer than 4 miles since last summer, and I'm also pretty sure I said I had no interest in another 10k right now. Woof.

@photographerwife that one is so annoying. MH's 3 bff's all had some variation of they thought about having a baby/wife realizes she's a week late/they go buy a test and bam! MH is always like "wait your wife doesn't just have 20 tests waiting at home already? What about the opks?"
@mvt2003 what virtual race? Also woof to any race in August- running in the heat is so draining!
@mvt2003 oh man but you can do it!! I have a virtual 5k/10k in a couple weeks and I haven’t been running at all the past few weeks. Oops. Maybe I’ll be walking it.
@_orchid_ same! I was working out and not losing anything so I stopped working out. And now I’m gaining weight. Ugh. Too bad we can’t eat what we want without gaining weight. Good luck with healthy eating!

It really was a terrible comment. I’ll give her the excuse of being young and naive this time.. but might say something if the comments continue.
@krash_ she meant, like trying at all. Apparently she never wanted kids, but has a young child. So I’m assuming by her comment she can’t imagine how you might actually have to try to have kids since hers was an accident. 🙄
@_orchid_ I know right! If only. 🙄 you can do it! I’ve recently been trying to lose some weight myself, but injured my knee a little while back and have just now gotten back feeling like I can run or anything again. I love love love food. But I can’t just be fat and happy. 😂
@mvt2003 oops! 😬 I believe in you! I hate when I do things like that!
@linzrunz I've been running so much - just did a virtual half a few weeks ago- and eat too much crap. Seriously the week after my half I was starving all the time. My problem is that Oreos and chips are not the best recovery food 😂
@photographerwife same! I love food and eating. MH loves to cook - it's relaxing to him- and his food is so good. I'm glad your knee is feeling better! I'm trying to get up and walk every morning before it gets hot, maybe walking will be ok to start back in!
I finally went to put the shelf up in my bathroom that I had been putting off after ordering it a few weeks ago. Turns out it was missing a screw and I tried to make it work with another one I had only to have it basically break while trying to install. 😑 I hate floating shelves.
We had a plan for dinner tonight and in the evening I started working on my puzzle. Well I didn't want to stop working on it as I was almost done. Finished at 9pm and DH is all mad because our dinner plan takes 25 minutes or so to cook so it's a little late to start it and now his dinner is ramen and corn.
I don't get why guys can't make note of the time so they can suggest "hey you should stop what you're working on so we can get dinner going".

I know it's Tuesday now, but I'm still irritated by this. I got my first bill for frozen embryo storage as of May 1, the only problem is my insurance was supposed to pay for 3 months of storage. Apparently February didn't get prorated despite the fact that the freaking embryos only existed for 10 days of that month....
