TTT 9/6

[JustJudy]

Hi all! How was your weekend? What's up this week?

[2brides]

1. I posted our weekend doings under Long Weekend.

2. I made a dent in what I needed to this week, but have a long way to go.

3. We are getting another quote for new windows tonight. I hope it is much better than the first one. I think we'll also get 1-2 more quotes.Holy crap windows are expensive. And why do we have 23 windows in our house?!?!?!

4. Traffic has been a disaster. It used to take me 50m to get to work. Now it is over an hour.

5. L is going to be doing a lot of traveling in October. Booooooo.

6. We have a serious mouse issue at work. I heard mice hate peppermint, so I put peppermint oil around the perimeter of my office and on my desk (the damn things were on my desk.) Now it smells like I work in a peppermint factory.

7. I guess it could a worse smell.

8. I am leaving 30m early to get home and make dinner before window consult #2 comes tonight.

9. I love Spotify.

10. It is time for me to go.

2brides, I can't only imagine. I was surprised how expensive it was just to do the windows in two bedrooms.

1. So, it's Tuesday. I totally forgot and at first thought this thread was TTC.

2. We just recently started to have M take naps in her crib in her room. Today is day 2.

3. We're trying to eat less processed foods and make healthier snack choices. Like celery and peanut butter, cottage cheese, sugar snap peas, or a hard boiled egg instead of pretzels. CET's favorite is a little bit of lentils, artichokes, and goat cheese. We're in the second week now and feeling pretty good.

4. I'm taking a prenatal and postpartum fitness course. Now to do something with it !

5. I bought some silly expensive Buf on Saturday. It's organic mozzarella made with grass-fed buffalo milk. On sale it was $7.99 for the container. Delicious, yes. A regular purchase, probably not since it seems so expensive.

CET's

6. I'm going to Sri Lanka next year, apparently. Also, twice, apparently.

7. It annoys me when I know people are getting my texts and are just choosing not to reply. It is a nice little payback when this behavior results in them missing out on something....

8. After being gone for a week, my boss came back and called me in for a meeting. It turned out to be about what travel credit card he and his wife should apply for.

9. M's new favorite game is 'tag' where one of us holds her and chases the other. She laughs so hard she squeals, and never gets tired of it. It's hilarious.

10. I've been schlepping on and off for weeks with 2 hour commutes to do a set of depositions in a case. There's one witness left, and we'll be going to San Diego for it, which may result in a nice little one night getaway from the office. I can already tell this will be the only one my boss will suddenly decide he should attend. Spoiler alert- it's not the most important one.

1. 2brides I love everything peppermint and did not know this about mice! We get mice at home from time to time and apparently the other day our 2 cats were just sitting around WATCHING a mouse in their room. The mouse was not injured nor did they try to chase it. Lol. So much for the cat/mouse instinct!

2. cetcar I also thought this was the TTC thread lol. So my post will partly include that.

3. I'm 4dpiui... I've convinced myself I'm not pg. Everything about this cycle seemed off.

4. School kind of ruined my long weekend when I realized how much hw I had... So I had fun Saturday but did hw all day Sunday and Monday.

5. I did make it to yoga Sunday and Monday, which felt awesome after barely being able to move.

6. I'm still in a ton of pain but can function much better! (I can even put on my own shoes lol.)

7. The new progesterone I'm on is giving me way more side effects than the one I was on last time. I thought it was the different brand until I realized last cycle I was only taking 90mg/day and this cycle I'm on 200mg/day! Booooo.

8. cetcar we've also been trying to eat a lot more whole/fresh foods and it definitely makes me feel better! I'm even on an organic kick, which surprisingly didn't increase our weekly grocery budget by that much!

9. After tomorrow morning my school deadlines for the week are over so that will feel amazing!

10. Off to class now. Have a great week!

[JustJudy]

1. I hope it's ok I started cetcar. I know holiday weeks always throw me off but I had a free minute at work so I posted.

2. I finally started my period! So our mock cycle can start.

3. I was at the spa this afternoon and missed my nurse's call so we need to touch base tomorrow to make sure meds are ordered and appointments are set.

4. I slept like crap last night and I almost fell asleep during my massage.

5. We found out my mom has an antibiotic resistant infection starting to grow where they did her surgery. Can she please catch one fucking break?

6. We're trying to figure out where to have thanksgiving. Both my sister and I want to host, we need to have a discussion about it. She's so dramatic though so I'm putting it off.

7. Next week we go to the beach for a little staycation. It will be nice for my poor mom to get out of her house.

8. It was weird being off from work yesterday. It was the first time in 11 years! I kind of like this desk job thing.

9. We're trying to be better about eating dinner at home. I made lasagna this weekend and I have a few meals planned for the rest of the week, but tonight we're doing takeout.

10. Dad and I rode for 10 miles on Sunday, it's feeling so much more natural and fun!

Totally fine! Appreciated! We hold no ownership over starting threads. Love for other people to do it too

1. I hate house repairs! They are so expensive.

2. We got our new dryer today so I can now do the 4 loads of laundry piling up. If it didn't rain all weekend I would have hung them out to dry... Ah well

3. I am so not impressed that our line of credit went from $0.00 to over $8,000... Partial IVF payment, dryer, trucks back window replacement and vacation sure added up fast.

4. I had a horrible sleep last night

5. I'm still not sold on my new position at work. I don't like not knowing what I'm doing and feeling like a dumb @ss... The joys...

6. I wish I could go back to my old position and my old unit. I really think I picked the wrong trade. 😞
I though finance would be good, but I think HR would have been better.

7. I got nothing else for now... So tired, must go to sleep
