CD1 for me here. I'm glad to get it over with. I hope that I don't start my period next month on Valentine's Day.
I am ITCHING to reply to a thread on another board in a semi-snarky way, but I won't because I don't feel like taking the heat of 50 people piling on me. Sometimes I wish I was more bold.

My stress level is through the roof. DD had been puking on every thing for 2 days now. New LL wants to meet Wednesday instead of Thursday. I'm Moving Friday. There is still like 3 baskets of laundry to do. Dh is grumpy and had little patients this week. I started my period yesterday. I'm feeling very overwhelmed. I know it will be Chaos until after we move. But damn it all if it doesn't kill me first.

Sorry about CD1 @moonbeam What thread?
I just walked down to the gym only to find it's closed because of a water main break right out in front of the building and it's closed until further notice. Ugh! I hope it's fixed today and I can go tomorrow, if it's closed for a few days it's really going to mess up my schedule. There have been a lot of water issues around here lately, our apt had the water turned off 3 different times over 5 days last week.
Last night, I call the tow truck company that claimed they tow cars 24/7 and asked for an early pick up this morning. They said they could accomodate it. I call them again this morning to be told, "Absolutely not. Our guys don't get on the road before 7." 2 hours after I originally need them, they show up. Work is going to be a blast today :\
katespade I think it's natural to feel some disappointment at the BFN. Not TTC doesn't mean that you can't have mixed emotions about it, it's a complicated thing.
anyastroud ((Hugs)) Sorry things are so stressful now. It will pass, just take one thing at a time. Soon you'll be moved in and it will be a big relief.
I knew someone would ask about the thread lol. HoneySpider and MrsMB It's a thread on ML that has no replies yet (as of right now) called "well, here's something".

I just found out that Freedom Pharmacy has same-day delivery. And it's free! I was an idiot and didn't realize I was low on a med until last night. I didn't have enough for the full dose tonight, but now I will. They'll send a courier from a pharmacy about an hour away from me. I am totally blown away. And will always make sure I have plenty on hand in the future - I got their last box of the size that I needed. But wow, that's amazing.
sorry about the BFNs/CD1s yall. ditto the others, @moonbeam, which post?
I still haven't taken down my Christmas decorations. I'm dreading it. I even sent out a desperate FB message for help, with pizza as reward, hahaha. all I'm getting is likes, and "what else does it pay?" lol.
I saw the post. I don't know the whole backstory of that. but I'm sure there is a reason that there are no replies yet... I'll be watching this one today.
I don't really know the backstory either, since I only browse there occasionally. I just find something disingenuous about the apology...lol.
Now, it makes me paranoid because like scotty, I too, have someone blocked. I didn't realize (idiot, I know) that someone could tell they were blocked.
Just speaking in generalities here, the anonymity of message boards/the internet in general frightens me because people say things that are so cruel sometimes. I wonder if they would actually say those things to someone's face? It's too easy to forget there are real people with real feelings at the other end of the computer.
This makes me really glad that there was no social media when I was in high school. It felt good to know that when I went home, I could escape the drama of the school day. I'm not sure how I could handle all the social media bombardment if I was a kid/teen now.

Our board has gotten to that place again recently where there is A LOT of pregnancy/baby talk. We seem to go in this cycle every few months and then someone (usually me, haha) says something, everyone backs down, then it starts up again. I completely understand the desire to share information about your pregnancy or your baby, but it would be nice if it wasn't all that, all the time. There is a pregnancy board and a moms board in the same way there is a TTC board. Personally I try to keep my mundane TTC-related items over on GetP and not say anything here unless it's something bigger (for example, I shared my hysteroscopy results here which I hope didn't bother anyone). I would completely expect anyone, in any phase, to share big news but it's the day in, day out repetitive stuff that gets annoying.
I don't know what the solution is. We have this conversation over and over again but I'll be honest and say that lately, I haven't felt like posting on this board much and that makes me sad. I feel smothered by pregnancy/baby talk. It already has overtaken my entire life for the past 3 years, I don't want that to be the case here too - WC is supposed to be my escape!

It's never a good sign when the tax office asks you to send them documents, then calls you and says "we received your documents, why did you send these?"

We still have our tree up but everything else is down. We left it up for the last family Christmas gathering that we hosted on Sunday, and of course nobody even sat in the living room, so I could have taken it down a couple weeks ago.
CD1 for me here. I'm glad to get it over with. I hope that I don't start my period next month on Valentine's Day.

I don't reply to a lot of the threads on one particular board because my opinions so far differ from what is being posted that I feel the same as you. I'll just get a shit-storm of hate flung at me and I just don't have time for that bp raise.

Boo, I can't find the post!
HoneySpider I will apologize for the baby talk even if it wasn't directed at me. I feel like I have nothing else to talk about right now! I try to scale it back but my life pretty much consists of watching my blood sugar and trying to get things ready. I wish I were more interesting right now!

HoneySpider, I apologize as well if I've over done it with lo talk. I have no idea why it didn't occur to me until your thread that this board was for TTC. I'm not TTC, so if you'd like I can back out of the board.

It's not for TTC, it's just a general board. We have people in all stages - TTC, pregnant, recent baby, older child. But we do try and keep the topics more general and not kid-focused. There are numerous ladies on the board who are having TTTC and it can be hurtful to see a lot of pregnancy/baby talk.
I am really getting tired of getting to work on Tuesdays and our station is disgusting. It takes my partner and I over an hour to clean the place every Tuesday morning. How hard is it to take out the trash when it is full or wipe the table if you spill something. We are suppose to be all adult here. We just had an issue with bugs here and everyone wonders why. Hmmmm.
Thank you HoneySpider for saying something. Don't get me wrong I LOVE to hear about peoples kids, pregnancies and TTC but it would be nice to not have it so focused on that. I of course always want to hear about the good and bad and updates, because I really do care to know and am excited to know. I feel that everyone around me is either having a baby, announcing a baby, has a baby or trying for a baby and it would be so nice to kind of escape like HS said here. FB is blowing up with the kid stuff, but that's easy for me to unfollow people with kids etc. But seriously, this is not meant to be negative in any way to anyone. I really do like to hear about all the info just maybe not all the time!
On a side note, I totally didn't know you could block people. I have no need to since I like ya'll a lot haha!
I worked all day, now the repair men are *hopefully* fixing my tub so I can finally use my nice shower and have a nice relaxing bath this week! Dinner tonight is homemade pizza, mmm! I have to make a few phone calls this afternoon and do a lil grocery shopping.
It was icy today so DH spread salt on the porch and drive. I hate it. It gets dragged in the house and makes such a mess. I know he means well, but it's annoying. I feel like it was just yesterday I was bitching/posting about this, but I guess it's been almost a year since last winter
I really like Metamucil. I was expecting it to be awful because the commercials are all "eww! gritty fiber!" but I enjoy my daily glass of OJ with it mixed in.
I haven't been around much because it's all baby, all the time here at my house and it's not really that interesting or relevant to the WC conversation.
The apology thread on ML already played out and is very anticlimactic. I'm glad there's no longer hurt feelings though. I had high hopes for the flameful thread but it's just about giving birth, 90s clothes, and the Sherlock actor. Womp womp.
Do I post too much about DS? The 1 month post was too much right?
