Coffee is the best. This morning there were these super loud birds outside and every time they got quiet I would lay super super still because I didn't want to disturb them so they would stay quiet. Then I realized that's not how birds work so I got out of bed.
Descaling my keurig and I can't get the vinigar taste out of the water. I've run two whole tanks of clean water through the freaking thing. I want my coffee damn it. Probably should have started this process last night.
Edit: 4th tank did it. I've been trying to talk H into getting a regular coffee pot again. I don't just drink a cup. I require a pot. I also feel they're easier to clean.
I just took my dog for a ride because I desperately needed Starbucks before the process of cleaning my house. SO is working this morning so I get to do everything myself before everyone gets here.

CD1 for me. Just hoping to make it through my family get together today with 3 new babies and 2 pregnant cousins without too many people talking about how fertile our family is.
I want to feel better...thought I was getting over being sick but my throat is sore I think from my nose draining and I think I have a slight fever. It hurts to swallow and I am now coughing cause its sore.

I'm sorry hugs!
I think if someone says anything I'm just going to lay it out that I am in fact not all that fertile and that it took medicated cycles to conceive my children and I'm having no success this time around. I just think that they need to be more aware even if every other woman in our family has pushed out a baby in the past year.
After a long ass week (not a bad one, but just long and full of responsibilities) I finally slept for 10 hours straight last night. I would have slept longer if my dog didn't wake me up to be fed.
He's doing a kind of hunger strike thing though. My MIL gave us a little thing of Cesar dog food so I mixed in a spoonful of it into his breakfast hard food as a treat for a few days until it was gone. Now when I pour his plain boring hard food in the bowl he just sits there and waits until I "dress it up" for him. I'm trying to break him of the habit. I'm on the comp, he is just sitting by the food bowl...waiting.

LOL I've had those weird half-asleep thoughts before. I recall thinking my alarm clock would stop going off if I snoozed it properly (I use my phone, so I have to hit/swipe the screen to snooze. And I finally woke up enough to try to swipe the screen "properly" when I realized that doesn't make any damn sense and I need to get up for work.

I've been MIA on here, what's going on this weekend? Who is coming over?
Thanks. I'm trying to think positive and tell myself that BIL will have his homemade wine and that there'll be plenty of good food, including my Bailey's cupcakes. I'll eat and drink my TTC feels

You are a nicer person than I. I'd probably tell them to drink a glass of shut the fuck up. Then again I feel like telling most of my family that on the reg anyway.

I'm going to some neighborhood garage sales today so hopefully I find some hidden treasures! H and I were going to go to a baseball game later but it's looking like rain. Thinking we might have a board game night instead.

I'm sorry. That sounds so hard. Good luck today. Hopefully no one will say anything dumb, but if they do, saying what you said above sounds like a good plan. And like at least enough to shut them up.

Most of my cousins are younger than me, the one that is older just had her 6th kid and her oldest is 13. So I just think it's a lack of awareness that it's not that easy for some people. It's never mean spirited.
Eta: Maybe I'll take an evacuation apron and just steal all the babies.

I'm sorry you're feeling crummy. I hate being sick.
I'm working today, but work will be dead because Pride is happening in my city today. I'm bummed, because this means a long day at work, and because I want to be at Pride, damn it! Friends will be there, day drinking. I forgot to request it off in time. Maybe someone will sneak me a martini in a coffee thermos..
I am doing everything possible to not get out of bed!!
ETA: Fx for a quick recovery mustloveerica, entertainingly MH drank pedialyte and had excedrine yesterday morning (I did not) and he had an amazing recovery - i suffered all day like an idiot. I may try the electrolyte packets i have from yoga next time. (Note pedialyte was a suggestion by MH's trainer w/ less sugar than gatorade - I just can't drink either) also corrected 2 tag fails
I don't have one today, amazingly, but if I did, I might use it as an excuse to get McDonald's breakfast. Feel better.
We're waiting for one friend to wake up (because we had a grown up sleepover even tho apparently sleepovers aren't a thing anymore) and then we are going to panera for breakfast. Carbs make hangovers better :-)
housecarder, huge hugs! I totally feel you on that front, my sister got pregnant by 'accident' TWICE (I'm not sure how she was surprised as she was not on birth control either time) & my SIL tried exactly for one cycle with each kid. Drink & eat all of your TTC feels.
We are headed to a wedding in the mountains. H is in a foul mood because we were up at 7:30, so I'm going to hang with you guys until he snaps out of it. BTW- the wedding reception is trivia based, no dancing just bar trivia.
Hugs for you, housecarder. Families can be tough, especially on CD1. Last weekend, my SIL said - just loud enough for me to hear - "I'm the baby of the family, and the only one with a baby." Ouch.
Ugh, it sucks sometimes that people are so oblivious. At Easter, right after getting my false positive and starting my period my sister said "Well I got my H a baby for Easter". I held it together during the rest of the time but started ugly crying in the car. Not my proudest moment.
