    Month/Cycle: 21

    CD/DPO: 17/3

    Timing: Good

    Typical LP length: 12-14

    Testing: Nope

    R/R: Today is going to be crazy for work today, I'm getting on the phone at 9, then I'll be on calls until lunch. Someone pass the wine and snacks!!! I took advantage of yesterday being a slower day and caught up on some cooking shows while I worked, and then last night I worked on painting a sign using a stencil I cut out with my Silhouette, I'm still perfecting my technique. 

    Time keeps melding together and everything feels like groundhog's day right now, I had to triple check with myself that I'm actually in a TWW and not WTO. Anyone else still feel like it's March? 

    CS/Q:  Nope

    @mvt2003 seriously!! i cant believe May is almost over.  i haven't gotten formal confirmation yet but it doesn't seem like i'm going back into the office until at least July?! crazy.  hopefully your busy work day goes smoothly with wine at the end of the tunnel!

    Month/Cycle: 5/4 since loss

    CD/DPO: 22/7

    Timing: -3,-2,0

    Typical LP length: 11-13

    Testing: oh man i am really trying to hold off but there's no way i'm making it to Monday

    R/R: yesterday my allergies got the best of me and i spend the second half of the day laying down with tissues stuffed in my nose, ugh.  but it gave me time to catch up on and finish The Great on hulu.  highly recommend it!  meant to be more funny than factual but definitely interesting.

    CS/Q:  it's still very pretty!!

  • @mvt2003 I'm lost with time too, especially on furlough. Like what day of the week is it?? Watching TV shows is one thing I haven't done while also working. I'd probably end up not doing much work during the day 🤷‍♀️

    @asf0613 sorry about the allergies!

    Month/Cycle: 35

    CD/DPO: 22/7

    Timing: -1, 0

    Typical LP length: 13 days

    Testing: only if I'm late

    R/R: therapy appointment day. I've been meaning to write down some things that happened over the last 2 weeks so we could talk about them. I remember most of it though since my mind is still feeling mushy and blah from the whole thing. Other than that, toilets need some cleaning today and I'm going to try to finish painting what's left to be done in our kitchen.

    CS/Q:  I'm surprised I'm staying below 98 all TWW. I'll have to look back and see if that's usual.

    @inthewoods23 hope you have a great appointment today!
  • mvt2003mvt2003 member
    @asf0613 I want to watch The Great! I've always loved Catherine, she was such a BAMF! 

    @inthewoods23 Good luck today, hopefully you get through the hard parts and have some good insight afterwards. The key to watching TV while working is the correct show choice - it has to be something you can drift in and out of, which is why cooking shows are good. I watched my DVR'd episodes of Amy Schumer Learns to Cook and it was nicely entertaining.

  • @mvt2003 hopefully your crazy day goes by fast! I agree that time feels so weird right now!

    Testing: I keep saying I’m going to wait until the weekend but I know I’m going to cave on Friday haha

    R/R: I’m going to try to use today as an organization day at work. With the craziness of the past two months, my perfectly organized Google Drive has become a hot mess! So honestly a very boring activity but very necessary!

    CS/Q:  


  • asf0613asf0613 member
    @mvt2003 it really is a fun show! i didn't know a lot about her but did my research while watching for context.  they deviated a bit but it makes for good TV
    @runningoncookies i think friday sounds fair, but that's coming from someone with no willpower haha.  enjoy the reorg--i always find it therapeutic.
  • @mvt2003 yeah, I probably need to choose a show I've seen previously so I can just hear it as background noise. If I try something new I'm going to feel compelled to watching the screen instead of my email inbox

    @runningoncookies have fun organizing!


    I checked all my charts, not a single one has TWW temps all below 98. Totes KU right?? We'll see! 🧐

  • @mvt2003 I hope work is going by quickly so far! I know things are super weird right now and I hope we can all find some normalcy soon! 

    @asf0613 your chart IS looking really pretty! Fingers crossed! I hope you get some allergy relief soon. 

    @inthewoods23 sending lots of love for your appointment tonight. I know they can be draining. Do you have some self care planned? 

    @runningoncookies I love organization days! Hopefully you get some productive organizing done!

    @inthewoods23 i am hyping us SO HARD for Feb

    @ashaislurking i'm sorry you're feeling so down today.  sometimes a day of self wallowing does wonders to get it out of your system.  hoping you feel better as the day goes on
  • shlecksshlecks member

    @mvt2003 100% it still feels like March. And yet...it feels like so long ago.  And I wanted to watch that Amy Schumer show!  It looks funny, even though I'm not a HUGE fan of her comedy- like, I think she's a funny person, but I don't care for her "jokes." Does that make sense?

    @asf0613 Another good looking chart!  

    @inthewoods23 Hope you have/had a good therapy session.  I always think I should write things down too, but I never do.  🤷🏻‍♀️

    @runningoncookies Oh man you'd cringe so hard at my Google Drive.  I have 2 for 2 accounts and have never organized them.  🤦🏻‍♀️

    @ashaislurking I'm so sorry you're down today.  :(   I hope you can get some time to love on yourself a little, even if it's just an indulgent snack.


    Month/Cycle: 1/1

    Timing: bad

    Typical LP length: ~14 days

    R/R: I mentioned yesterday how terrible my eating has been lately so today I went to Aldi to get lots of goodies- fresh produce- the works.  I came home and made a mediterranean couscous salad with all kinds of veggies and homemade dressing ahhhhhh.  It was good for my soul.  Now the game of "use the veggies before they spoil" has begun!!

    CS/Q: none

    @shlecks sounds delicious!  and easier to force yourself to eat healthy if you spent money on things like that
  • @shlecks I DEFINITELY play the game of "use the veggies before they spoil" frequently. Definitely motivates me to eat better.
