@jackie_dunny so glad you’re feeling better! Winning money never hurts haha.
Month/Cycle: 7/1AL
CD: 16
WAYDTGKU: OPKs
R/R: Once I got organized with work yesterday, I realized it’s actually a slow end of week at work for me. Which is nice but, of course, also gives me anxiety of “am I forgetting something big?”, “what more can I be doing because I’m obviously not being proactive enough?” 🙄 Always something! Can’t even relax when I have time to relax haha.
CS/Q: Got a peak (solid smiley) on the CB digital and positive pregmate OPK this morning. Of course when I didn’t get a positive pregmate last night I decided to skip DTD last night as a night to “recharge” and then of course get the peak this morning. But go time now over here as well haha.
*Edited for typo.
Due: 6 Nov 2021

R/R: Day off today and I had a neurology appointment for nerve blocks and trigger point injections for migraine so I've got the rest of the day to myself! My migraines have sucked the past couple of months so I'm hoping they help. My neck and shoulders feel a heck of a lot better and looser afterward, ahhhhh. Nothing else exciting....using the day to catch up on all the not fun things like paying bills, planning meals, picking up groceries, and cleaning the kitchen that I've been ignoring for a week. Ew.
CS/Q: No questions
Due: 6 Nov 2021
@misspricklepants the snow finally started here. I think we're getting another 6 inches. Bleh. I must say though, WFH this winter has been a major perk with some of these storms. Much snowier than past winters! Glad you're finally getting your new washer!
@quiltandknit ugh, it's nice to have those days to catch up on things. I've been neglecting getting my credit card bill paid. I like to just check all the receipts to make sure they're all there before I pay it. I hope you get some migraine relief from those injections. DH gets migraines but thankfully frequency has dropped dramatically over the years. What a miserable experience to go through.

@quiltandknit ouch, migraines suck! I saw a bunch of doctors and went through a bunch of procedures last year to eliminate any serious issues. I’ve been getting headaches (not migraines) for years. More like tension headaches, but still debilitating. Are the injections effective?
