  • @jellie603 haha I was definitely a little emo back in high school. Classics. I was all about Angels & Airwaves, Blink 182, Sum 41, Taking Back Sunday, and Hawthorne Heights. Went to Warped Tour once with a friend. My music taste has transitioned into metal 🤘

  • @jellie603 sorry about CD1. My personal go-to emo is My Chemical Romance. I wasn't super emo in high school/college, I tended a bit more toward pop-punk like Simple Plan, but I have a big soft spot for The Black Parade and a couple others I dabbled in.

    @inthewoods23 it's always weird when that happens! At my old job, sometimes on days like that I'd send myself an email from my personal account just to make sure the email was working. Your temp trend is definitely a bit odd, but it's very eye-pleasing!

    @ajsanders-2 I feel you on the focusing side of things. It always gets harder and harder to focus as the week goes on.
  • @fantasyflyte the same thing happens with our phone line too. We'll get like 3 calls in a day and that's just weird! oh how could I forget Simple Plan! That may have been more middle school for me though 🤔

  • Cheers to all my fellow emo kids! My favorite high school band was Thursday who technically fall under screamo, but I also got into hard rock and some metal (as you all may have guessed after the whole head banging debacle of the weekend). I also have not grown out of this phase, although I will admit if I’m listening to music lately it is either Taylor Swift or classical.
    @fantasyflyte I’m sorry your back is giving you so much trouble. I hope you were able to find a pillow strategy that helped. When I’m on a flat bed I end up using at least five pillows to wedge myself into place. Not ideal.
    @jellie603 Sorry for CD1. I very much feel you on the emo music.
    @inthewoods23 I’m so interested to hear how your testing goes.
    @ajsanders-2 I hadn’t heard of that book before. It looks good! Let us know how you like it!

    Month/Cycle: 5/5

    CD: 2

    WAYDTGKU: bbt, cm, on the fence about using opk this cycle

    R/R: Feeling better than yesterday. Got a follow up with the obgyn on the calendar for Tuesday. Had a reasonably productive day at work. Indulged in allergy medicine since it’s back to the beginning of the cycle for me. All in all pretty positive.

    CS/Q: nope

  • *lurking*

    @ajsanders-2 I've read that one! It's definitely quirky, but I enjoyed it. 
  • @pinkkillersheep & @abjm0325 - I am also done with the book! Couldn't put it down the other day!
