Whine & Win Wednesday

I need a place to vent/AW. Thankfully, it's Wednesday. :)

Whine: My betas still aren't 0. They've gone from 2354, to 95, and now to 13. I just want to get to 0; I want to move on! And I'm sick of having to get up and go get my blood drawn every Monday for the last 3 weeks. I'm sick of needles.

Win: Today is a dress down for charity day! And it's for the American Diabetes Association! Considering the number of people in my family and DH's who have diabetes, it was more than worth it for me to pay $5 today and get to wear jeans/casual outfit to work.

  • Lucky, I hope your beta's get to zero next week, and you can move on.

    Win: I woke up this morning and I have EWCM.  Which means I O'd 3 weeks after the m/c, and possibly O'd on my own.  So that's amazing!

    Whine:  We are TTA so this means no taking advantage of my body actually doing something on its own for once.

  • Whine: I feel like garbage still and haven't accomplished much at work today. I promised DH we could go to the mall tonight to get stockings for him and his son, a new tree skirt, and maybe some ornaments (His BSC ex insisted the ones we had - and used last year - we hers and demanded them back.  Go ahead; take them! I want nothing of yours and would love nothing more than to start a collection with DH of OUR OWN stuff!).

    Win: Friendly's is on the way home from the mall, so I'm going to ask DH if we can stop there on the way home.  It's only Wednesday and already one of "those" weeks for both of us.

  • Whine: I work in medical collections and insurance companies are driving me insane right now. End and beginning of the year are always rough. I should be prepared but it always makes me angry.

    Win: I'm drowing myself in chocolate because insurance companies suck! And I think I'll start my Christmas cookie baking tonight to help myself de-stress.

    @amandaf6383 - I'm sorry your anxiety is high right now. Anxiety sucks so much. ((hugs)), girl.

    Whine: I feel constipated even though I'm not. I'm really hoping this is the Lupron, Gonal-F, Menopur cocktail working its magic. It feels a little early to be this uncomfortable though. :-/

    Win: I'm eating leftovers tonight and tomorrow night, and I'm going out for dinner on Friday night with friends. I'm so excited that I don't have to cook! :-)
