R/R: Happy Friday!! Not much exciting for me. My anxiety has been through the roof lately and I'm not eating much or sleeping all that great. I've been crying alot and super emotional. I really hate anxiety and panic attacks. It screws with your body. Makes me feel sick and nautious and upset stomach and my heart races etc. I feel overwhelmed with life and decisions lately
CS/Q: Crazy temp rise up which is weird. Not sure why. Could have been my room last night even though we had the A/C on. 🤷♀️
@mindyb2019 I can totally relate to the anxiety! I struggle with anxiety as well. Sometimes the best you can do is just take it one day at a time.

R/R: Sooo grateful it's Friday! Looking forward to a low key weekend after a busier weekend last week with the holiday. Trying not to be too impatient waiting to ovulate
WTO is way worse for me than the TWW.

R/R: got the measles vaccine yesterday! woot! I'm happy it's Friday. Going to go to IKEA to pick up another picture frame for another print I bought. I ordered 6 online and they took a month to be delivered so it's actually more convenient to drive the half hour to IKEA to pick one up at the store. I'm not waiting another month for 1 frame!
CS/Q: OPKs are officially positive so I'll be ovulating today or tomorrow. Temps are super wonky though but we had the windows open a few days, then we added the comforter on top when it was a little cold (heat isn't on in our house so it's like 64 during the day) and now we've got the warm fuzzy blankets on the bed too so yeah... a little all over the place. May discard, we'll see.
