Whine: We're letting another friend stay in our guest house as a favor bc he's fallen on bad times and while I'm glad I can help, I'm just not really looking forward to having a "house guest" for the next three months.
Win: Made a very healthy breakfast this morning that I very much enjoyed.

Whine: I'm going to a concert tonight with DH. I am not interested in the band at all. I am also taking a sick day at work tomorrow, but I have to call in since I'm not allowed to take the whole day off for a doctors appointment. I think this rule is stupid.
Win: I'm currently eating a wonder lunch at Corner Bakery, and I'm enjoying the pretty manicure I gave myself last night.

Wow that's reallllllly nice of you to let someone stay for three months!

Win: Today is the boss' sons Birthday so we got free lunch, chicken wings from the best wing place in the area, and CUPCAKES!
Whine: My FIL is on his way to our house to "check the progress" of construction with DH. Really he just wants to snoop around and tell DH what he would have done different, and also to criticize my cleaning. EVEN though it is not his house at all and it is a house under construction he expects it to be dusted every day.

Whine: I had a meeting today to go over the "must knows" of the ACA. That way we can answer questions and eleviate some of the workload off our health insurance girls. Let me tell you, it was invigorating.....NOT!
I also learned that I'm the only 1 person out of the 6 in the meeting, that is pro-Obama. I just sat there with my mouth shut as they bashed healthcare reform, and the coverages it will provide. I really wanted to say, "it's okay, infertile girl is just smiling and nodding because I know there's a possibility we can get some assistance out of this. But go ahead, continue on about it being the worst thing ever."
Win: This means I feel a lot more comfortable with everything switching over, and now I will be able to answer basic questions from clients. Oh, and I got some yummy lunch out of the deal, and 3 hours away from the office.

Whine: I need ute goggles. I think the seriousness of the situation hit this morning. I'm scared.
Win: I'm pampering myself tonight- toenails, fingernails, eyebrows, etc.
((hugs)) The waiting and wondering and speculating can't be easy. Hang in there! And enjoy your evening of pampering!
Whine: I'm going on 8 days in a row of working (FT job, freelance work, and promo work, often overlapping 2 of those in 1 day), and I'm exhausted (I know, I complained about this yesterday). I just want to go home and sleep!
Win: DH has to work overnights tonight and tomorrow night. While I don't enjoy not having him in bed to snuggle, it means I get to keep Zoey on the bed all night in his place.
TTC since July 2012
BFP #1: 11/9/13; spontaneous m/c at 6w2d, 11/25/13
Whine: I have had a headache ALL.DAY.LONG. I have so far taken 6 Advil and it hasn't even really helped. Plus my neck/throat hurt so bad and I am losing my voice. I was sick over the weekend but thought I was feeling better. I lose my voice every week I think from overuse at school. It's really annoying.
Win: The lady that drew my blood this morning got it on the first try. I was excited about that because that hardly ever happens to me!

Whine: Our landlord had someone come and resurface our balcony. I'm glad they are keeping up on maintanence, but it smells so bad it's burning my lungs. Yuck! I'm actually thinking of going to the library or a coffee shop just to get out of the house.
Win: It's under 60 degrees today and very fall-like. That makes me smile.
Whine: They denied the elevation style we wanted on our house, so now we have to do one of the other two that I don't like nearly as much! Boo!
That sucks hun, I'm sorry.

Whine: 3 days of spotting. WTF. Not heavy enough to be a period, but I'm on CD20.
Win: My house is clean. Only two more wake ups until the weekend.
Ugh sorry! I've had that happen mid cycle once... Hope it clears up soon!
