I just got a hydro flask and I still can't drink my coffee I poured an hour ago. Too hot!
I had this same problem with mine! I don't use it now unless I can pour the coffee out into an actual mug when I get where I'm going. It doesn't cool down enough for me until about 24 hrs later!
Just got my blood work back and can't wait until my 4/15 appointment to have them deciphered. Does anyone have a good resource for looking up the information myself? I'm finding a lot of what each hormone does, but not what the levels could mean.
On a positive note, H and I are finally (over a year later) going to get licenses in our actual home state. Oops.
It took me forever to do it too! And then we moved, same state, different address. It has been about 9 months, I really should go to the BMV, but that is just such a nightmare.

We are leaving work early to do it. It's such a hassle! I am really hoping there aren't long lines, though.
requiressnacks I would say a redo would be necessary but it sounds like you will be having delicious food for lunch today. Worth the bad morning to stuff my face at lunch IMO.
I will be traveling to spend Easter about 2.5 hrs away and need to either 1. bake a cake when I get there, 2. bake a cake beforehand and bring it with me, or 3. bake and bring cake/filling/frosting separately and assemble on site. The cake is for DD's bday (which is actually Monday), but we are combining it with Easter because the whole family will already be together.
If I'm going to make a layer cake, how many days before I want to serve the cake can I cook the layers in advance and not have them dry out? I feel like I'm overthinking this...

When I do a wedding cake for a Saturday wedding I always bake the cake Thursday night (freeze the layers over night), ice the cake Friday night (put it in the freezer or fridge overnight), and then transport it all together (in a cardboard box that I cut one side down so I can slide the cake in and then put the side I cut back up and tape it so the cake stays put. If that makes sense?) Saturday. If you are transporting it 2.5 hours I would make sure that the AC is on because the sun could melt it on a trip that long.
Can I vent in here because I am feeling like shit today and I need to get it out. I don't know where to put it. I've been crying at my desk all morning (thankfully I'm the only one in my office).
I started spotting today which started the spiral. My cycle was so fucked up. They all have been. In almost 7 months I have had only 3 cycles. (Up until about a year ago my cycles were very short since I was teenager. So this is new to me).
What's really getting me is not only do I feel like my body and cycles are confusing, I am disgusted with myself. I have never weighed this much in my life. Literally none of my clothes fit me. I've been living in sweats. For work I have been wearing leggings almost everyday. I want to do something about it but I just keep road blocking myself. It's like I just keep eating shit. If my H mentions "I thought you wanted to get healthy?" I freak out on him basically saying "I do what i want" and "don't tell me what to do!".
This is not what I want for myself or my family. I want to set healthy examples for my kids. And I can't help but feel like my body would work better for me if I treated it better.
I know 6-7 months of TTC is nothing, and really it's only been 3 cycles. I'm just frustrated. I'm used to having like 8 cycles in that timeframe and I just don't understand why the change. I keep thinking it's because I'm over 35 and I'm doomed or something which I know is also ridiculous.
I'm sorry for being a Debbie downer.
I've printed a weight loss journal so that is a step in the right direction.

Frosting helps the layers to not dry out. That being said, you are fine to cook the layers the day before and assemble the next day. Wrap them in saran wrap, then refrigerate.
Once frosted, the cake can sit another day or two uncut and be fine.

@irish I'm so sorry (hugs) I don't have any advice but I know how it feels to see old pics of yourself and be grossed out by your weight. That with wonky TTC cycles is too much stress! I'm so sorry!
So many hugs, @irish. I know the weight struggle. Every day I say I will get on top of it, and every day I feel like I emotionally collapse and need the comfort foods.
FWIW, Weight Watchers worked for me in the past and helped me find other ways to comfort myself instead of food. But, I don't take my own advice.
I am sorry your body is confusing you. I think it's perfectly valid to be upset about the change.
Personally, I am hoping that the coming of warmer weather and longer days will help me shake the slump. Hopefully it will have some benefits for you too.
@irish, I'm so sorry. Not to be a cliche, but are you talking to anyone? I've found my therapist really useful through all the insanity. It's really hard to be rational with things like this, no matter how hard we try
We have a sick kitty at home and I want to be there with him. He started sneezing 2 nights ago and was really lethargic last night and this morning. He started hissing at the other ones when they came near him this morning.
I did get him to eat 1/4 cup of food and drink water before I left for work and we are going to see if he gets some energy back tonight and if not tomorrow we'll call the vet.
