@gingermama29 mmmmm pizza and wings sound so good! We've been on a wing kick for the last week or 2. Yesterday I went out just for a few items and messaged DH "wings for dinner?" and his response was "dumb question lol". There are just some things that are never a "no" having on hand.
Month/Cycle: 5 AL

WAYDTGKU: temping, OPKs, GF/DF diet, maaaybe cutting down on sugar, PNV and other supplements
R/R: we switched to a new phone system at work today. It was a bit of a headache at the start but things seemed to be worked out now - I can finally hear people on the other end! lol. Turns out I didn't have my input and output device settings right. The last thing is getting the calls to actually go to voicemail. The system seems to be set up like a call center where it rings to the next available person and just goes back and forth between us, never letting someone leave a voicemail. Only when we're all on a call or listed as unavailable would it take a call to voicemail. So stupid. Hopefully they get that fixed. Other than that... yay for Thursday! I had a brief moment yesterday thinking it was Thursday and not Wednesday. I just look forward to next week when we have Good Friday off.
CS/Q: nothing exciting yet

@ReadyForaB i've never had a loss, but many of my friends have, i just know from them you shouldn't try and pressure yourself to put a timeline on your emotions.

R/R: edit b/c i pasted yesterdays r/r lol. i'm losing it over here. my rant is my employee who called out monday, was also out tuesday, and yesterday got diagnosed with the flu. so i am overwhelmed!
CS/Q:
@inthewoods23 Thank you. You have no idea how much that means.
TW- Loss and LC mentioned
@anniemarie887 Thank you. My situation is maybe a little different in that I always imagine myself as a one and done mom (I have a 4 year old). We got pregnant unexpectedly in February and after the terror wore off, we were so happy. Then came the loss. I see the silver lining in the fact that now we feel ready to try for another.

R/R: It's SO NICE outside today, but I have a midterm tonight and need to study for it. Sadness. But at least I can hopefully catch up on my sewing and cleaning this weekend since I have very little homework to do for a change.
CS/Q: slept in this morning and forgot to temp before getting out of bed, but I'm far enough away from O that I'm not worried about missing one temp.
