R/R: The MAPE (music, art, pe) teachers at my school are really pissing me off right now. While we are virtually learning, their ONLY responsibility is creating ONE LESSON per grade level per week. That’s a grand total of 4 lessons. We are using a program where you can schedule your work for the kids ahead of time, like WEEKS ahead of time if you want. They REFUSE to schedule their lessons ahead of time themselves. It’s literally so easy, but rather they are waiting until the last minute (I.e. 6 am the day they want them to do it) to post the assignment. This really shouldn’t bother me all that much, BUT, my kids aren’t going to do the assignment unless it’s in my daily overview. All their work, with links, is in one slide, so they don’t have to go find the links elsewhere. Since they refuse to post their work early, on a timed release, I can’t include their work. Fine, my kids aren’t going to do it then and I’m not going to feel bad. They could literally do their entire job in an hour if they just scheduled their assignments for the entire week on Sunday, but nope, they won’t. 🙃 If you are still reading, thanks for making it through. I think our MAPEs classes are so important but I’m not going to break my back to ensure the kids do it if they aren’t willing to make my job a bit easier (as I have 20 lessons and 15 zooms a week).

R/R: I don’t know what’s wrong with me lately. I’ve been in this horrible negative funk the past few days and I’m sad and depressed all the time and really unhappy. A lot of tears have been coming out 😭 I literally have no joy for anything and I’m angry and bitter and moody. Back to work today after my surgery. I’m not thrilled about going and not in the mood to socialize with anyone either.
CS/Q: Nothing exciting
@chindimples04 I’m sorry the MAPE teachers are pissing you off. That sucks they only have to teach 4 lessons and that they aren’t scheduling their lessons ahead of time. Let all your feelings out girl!
@mindyb2019 I am so sorry you feel that way. FWIW you had to make a big decision for that surgery, and I am sure all of it it still bumming you out. Try and do a few things for yourself. Whatever makes you feel good - glass of wine, get your nails done, read a book, anything. Just take some time for yourself and treat yourself. You deserve it. Hugs!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 16/1? who knows
Timing: if yesterday was my O, then -8 (lol), -5, -3, -1, and O... will probably HIO tonight or tomorrow too for good measure.
Typical LP length: 12 days
Testing: at this point just wait until when AF is supposed to show up.
R/R: I literally have no clue about anything this cycle, so I am just going to hang out here for now. My temps are all over the place (half of that is my fault not being consistent). Yesterday and today I have had an abundance of EWCM, so maybe I am ovulating soon. Might grab a couple OPKs just for fun to see what they have to say. Otherwise, at this point I am just going to ride it out until AF. On a positive note, I got a free coffee from Dunks this morning since it is National Coffee Day.
CS/Q:
definitely not the prettiest chart...
@mindyb2019 I'm sorry you're going through such a hard time - I'm new here and don't know much about your history but from what you've describe have you thought about talking to somebody (seeking some counselling)? Sorry if that is out of line, I just have had really positive experiences with professional, unbiased support when I have been in a dark place and wanted to share that as another tool for you to explore (if you haven't already).
@chindimples04 I'd be pissed too.
@daisy528 we're definitely in the same boat, I was sure I'd O'd but no temp spike to show for it still...so confusing but I'm just going to keep on thinking I'm in the TWW but also HIO for a couple more days just in case as well.
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 19/3
Timing: -1, -2, -3
Typical LP length: don't remember
Testing: Not until the 13th of October unless AF comes before then (which she is scheduled to do)
R/R: I manage all marketing and communications for my organization, and today one of the other managers came and asked me if we had considered advertising our programs on social media...... hmm thank you for that brand-new, ground-breaking suggestion.... *head explodes*
CS/Q: this may be a dumb temping question so please forgive - is it better to temp at the same time every morning EVEN though you may have woken up/gone back to sleep several times prior to that time? Or should you just shove the thermometer in your mouth as soon as you wake up for the first time? (like I've been having super bad sleeps and will wake up at 4am, 5am, etc..); is there a consensus on this? Because I'm getting consistent temps but all from different times and they are consistently LOW so I don't know if what I'm doing has caused me to miss a temp spike or if that would matter at all?
@canucklehead123 Thanks you. It’s all good. That’s not out of line for you to say. I actually do talk with 2 therapists right now every few weeks and have for the past few months. I find some days are worse then others.
