Re: WTO Friday 1.22
Month/Cycle: 8/7
CD: 16
WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPKs
R/R: Short weeks are the longest weeks, amirite? Happy it’s Friday. It’s going to be cold here this weekend so I anticipate a lot of staying in and sitting by the fire patiently waiting for my fw.
CS/Q: My TD has been giving me much smoother temps than I had been getting orally which is exactly why I wanted to get it, so I’m happy about that
@fameonmain2 I didn’t have a short week but it still feels especially long! TGIF! Hope you start seeing some FW signs and can capitalize on staying in!
Month/Cycle: 26/28
CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: OPKs, Tracking CM
R/R: I need to start taking OPKs...but we started EOD on Wednesday so at least I have the important part covered. I haven’t been around much this week, I started working out in the mornings and tackling my non-work to do list during my lunch which are my 2 main bumping times! At some point my to do list should be empty though if I keep this up? Today was scheduling an appt for a physical. I’ve been feeling kind of off the whole month - anxious in the evening a few times a week for no real reason. Like my body can’t decompress from the day or something. Then once I’m settled on the couch watching TV I’m fine. It’s just a little unsettling. Anyway, I was due for a physical anyway so I figured I’d take care of that and see what they have to say!
CS/Q:
@fameonmain2 I worked Monday
so no short week for me, but certainly has been a long and frustrating one. How cold is cold for you? We're like a high of 14 today
My phone's weather report said it was 7 this morning feeling like -4 or something. Yikes lol.
@bows22 girl you forget your OPKs every cycle lol. I swear you did that last month or the month before. Hope everything with your physical goes well and they have some tips or thoughts to help you with your anxious feelings.
Month/Cycle: 43/3 AL
CD: 3
WAYDTGKU: GF and DF diet, OPKs, temping, Conceive+ if needed, maybe getting DH a little tipsy on O day if it happens on a Friday or Saturday
hey that's what might have made it work last time
R/R: I don't think it's official yet, but sounds like our president/general manager wants everyone back in the office on a semi-regular basis starting next month. 2x a week in February then bump it up to 3x a week in March. I told DH to get my KU ASAP so I can hopefully get more time at home haha. Also because his work is having everyone stay home through all of 2021 and I'll be jealous. I really hope they don't make us go in too much until we get quite a few vaccinated. Since the start of the pandemic our location has only had 6-8 cases but obviously we know what happens when everyone starts relaxing the rules....

@inthewoods23 this weekend it's supposed to be in the 20s but with the wind chill it will feel like 0, so close! I can deal with mid- to upper 20s but below that and I'm going to wrap myself up in blankets like a burrito indoors lol. Also wtf to your work? It seems silly to push people back in before the vaccine is widely available. What's the rush?? Also laughing so much at your WAYDTGKU & getting YH tipsy
@fameonmain2 brrr! yeah the 20s isn't bad, but once it gets down in the teens that is definitely bundle up with a scarf and hat weather. I think the push is just our company too, it's not coming from our parent company. Eh, we'll see. He has been wanting people back in the office since like October though. I had heard he wanted us back in the office in some capacity by December or something and that obviously didn't happen.
