Typical LP length: 11-12
Testing: yesterday and this morning. Should’ve waited because I knew it’s too early
R/R: today is the anniversary of my mom’s death she died of lung cancer 8 yrs ago and I know people think it’s been many years so I should be “over it” by now, but this is a really difficult day. I feel like even though I know this date is coming, it still hits me like a ton of bricks on every Aug 22nd. One of the things that gets me so much is that she never got to be a grandma my 5 yr old son was born after she died and he will never know her, her hugs, her smile, her perfume and the memories it brings. She would’ve been an amazing grandmother
CS/Q: nine really

@agesandstages I’m sorry you’re missing out on brunch with your friends. I hope everything is ok. Are you thinking a Christmas/winter themed wreath or more fall themed? That sounds really fun!
@shortstack930 we have friends like that, another married couple, that we hang out with all the time! It’s so nice to have friends like that! We’ve done the camping thing with them before and it’s a blast! I hope you guys have a great time!
@hgsurvivor I’m so sorry for you loss. That has to be very difficult and my thoughts are with you today. And don’t ever feel like you need to get over it. Everyone grieves in their own way and in their own time. I lost my grandpa, totally not the same but we were super close, 7 years ago and we always try to do something special to remember him, or get together for dinner as a family. I hope today isn’t too hard for you, and remember to give yourself grace.

R/R: Ughh my back has just been absolutely killing me and nothing is giving me relief. I was telling my mil last night and like almost in tears, and she gave me some cbd oil. Ive never used it or anything else like that but I actually slept last night for the first time in 3 weeks. Then I got on google and now I’m freaking out…. I also thought I lost my 13yo diabetic dog yesterday. I let them outside and forgot about the for like 10 minutes. I couldn’t find him anywhere, I was yelling for him in the house, outside, walked a couple blocks in each direction- nothing. Went back in the house and called him and looked around and didn’t see him. Well the little jerk got stuck upstairs behind the baby gate and I didn’t go up there because he almost never does. I’m just glad he was safe and is home.
CS/Q: cbd oil for pain when ttc? It’s doctor grade (she got it from her dr) and not just some random crap off the street. Also apparently she gave me 1/4 what she uses. Lol.
