I work in downtown Cleveland and because our office is in the security zone, we are all working from home today through the 25th. I am so excited for 10 days at home!! Right now I am working from our patio in my bathing suit, getting some sun
I have a to-do list that's about 30 things long of things to get done and cleaned up around the house this week- DH is not as excited about this as I am!
butlerfan we need to clean our fans so badly but I tried and can't make any headway (it's in kitchen so definitely grease related) any tips?!?! What works on that crud??

This was our first medicated cycle (Femara and TI). We have been aiming for EOD sex but due to some family drama we missed a day. I ovulated yesterday, meaning we only hit O and -3.
Could someone give me hair pats and tell me there is still a chance??? My rational side knows it only takes 1x but I am feeling so anxious and like we wasted our first medicated try. We really have a hard time with TI and I am feeling so down about it
I'm up way too early for the amount of sleep I got last night. I'm laying in bed but can't sleep. So lame.
I'm hoping to go for a walk today. It'll be the last day under 80° in a long time. Granted is supposed to be 78°, so not much better, but still. But Rama is coming over later and it will depend on when Ridley is awake. We'll see. Maybe I'll make Rama walk with us. OH! Maybe we'll walk to get our ice cream cake! Though I guess letting it be in the sun and melt on the walk home wouldn't be ideal. Hm.
Yessss...two associates are going out with me for happy hour to celebrate my last day! At 3!
Congrats on your last day! Been a long time coming.
Ha! Tell me about it!!
Yesterday I was saying good bye to a partner and he said he was surprised bc he thought I was here until the first week of August. Uh. No. What is it with this place?!?

-2 and -3 have the best chances, so you're already ahead. I wouldn't worry about missing one day unless you have MFI issues.
Hey all, a little AW here - please send my DH positive thoughts - he got an email today from a company he had interviewed with at the beginning of the year. He didn't get that position, but they've had a new position open up in the region and wanted to see if he was still interested because they would like to make a decision within the next two weeks. And this was the one job he was most interested in and was most disappointed about not getting. So please, everyone cross your fingers for him!!
pinkcat, that timing is still great! You can still have hair pats, though.
wannabmama, I am so excited for your last day. Enjoy happy hour! It will be such a relief when you are totally done with that place. Best of luck with your new venture!
kayladawn91, I am on your way from MI to FL, and I would like to go to Harry Potter World again, please. See you in a couple hours.

It's a little time consuming but what we did was take the globes off the lights...hand wash those in dish water and let air dry. I used dawn for the dish soap-cuts the grease.
H then took each ceiling blade down and we used a degreaser to clean each one-we used something called Krazy clean which H loves. I have another one called Awesome that I get at the dollar store that probably would have worked as well but I need to run to get more of that. I would spray it on and let it sit for a couple minutes and then wipe down with paper towel. In some spots I had to reapply and "scrub" a little bit to get them clean.
The other one that we did last night I just used dusting spray and got it clean. I think I should have finished off the kitchen ones after I got them clean with a layer of dusting spray to give it a protective finish.
We did both the kitchen and craft room ceiling fans in less than 2 hours last night and the kitchen took the most time of that. They do look better when done.

Do you have one of those freezer-insulated-bag thingies @led? I'm a huge fan of you and Rama and Ridley getting ice cream cake!!! If not, maybe grab some ice cream?

Two times during your FW is definitely not a wasted cycle! When I did IUIs, my RE told us to abstain the day before insemination (supposed O day) to make sure MH had a good sample. And plus, if you did EOD starting on -3, you wouldn't hit your O day. I know it's easier said than done, but try not to stress out about it! What's done is done and you did your best. That's all you can do, right? Keeping my FX'ed for you!

butlerfan we tried to do some deep cleaning yesterday so we would come home to a clean house after vacation. We moved our dressers and bed to sweep underneath them and the amount of dust and dog hair was unreal. I will definitely be cleaning there more often now.
Sounds like our previous place....H moved our sofa and loveseat very easily one time when I was trying to vacuum (it was on carpeting). I never moved them because it was too hard for me to move them and the amount of crap under there was gross. I would have moved them myself more often but thought it was too hard but now that H could move them I made him move them for me when vacuuming in the future.

Thank you!!! I feel like I knew logically that it wasn't a waste but anxiety was making it so I needed to hear it from someone else. That helps!!

I don't have ceiling fans but I clean all greasy stuff in the kitchen with baking soda. Super easy.

*Hair pats* def not a wasted cycle. My DH often has what are called "dry orgasms," which means that we are thrilled to get 1x in fertile week (for example, last FW we had sex about 4x between -2 and O, but only one time that could actually get me pregnant). The RE has said this is no problem and that as long as we can get one time in either -2, -1, or O he'll be happy with that cycle. So don't despair, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!
