Funky fried

I was going to post some long lamentation about how I've been so depressed this whole C, but it was just making me more depressed to write about it, so instead I'm going to talk about some things I am grateful for. This is more for my own benefit than anything else; my apologies if it's boring!

First of all, I'm grateful for my hubs. He's always full of praise when I cook. Even when the salmon is overdone and chewy he doesn't criticize, he just says thank you.

I'm grateful for our little house. Did I ever mention I can clean the WHOLE THING in about 2 hours? Yeah, sometimes I wish we had more space (or a second bathroom), but there's a lot to be said for tiny homes!

I'm grateful to be able to live in the town we do. It's small enough to have a nice "community" feel, but big enough that there's always something going on. And it's right on the beach! What's not to love?

I'm so very grateful that it's almost summer, and that the weather is finally starting to reflect that! (Knock on wood!)

And I'm grateful to myself for taking 3 days off next week for my wedding anniversary! Hubs and I were planning on spending a couple days on the Central Coast for wine tasting, but we decided we don't have the money to spend on a hotel. So instead we'll stay home and do fun stuff around town. We might take a day to go to the CC if we can crash at our friends J&M's house after wine tasting, but we'll see. Either way, I'm only working 2 days next week, and I can't wait!

Well, that actually helped get me out of my funk a little bit. Now maybe I can get some work done :)

Just babbling

I take my last Clomid pill today, it's CD9. I haven't really had any side effects thus far, maybe just a little moodiness. Not too much worse than usual though ;) I'm still taking my Fertilitea and Positivitea, as I've named my two hippie teas. Yes, they have actual names but my names help me keep them straight. Who's going to remember what "Synergy" and "Festival Blend" mean? (Okay, I probably could, but where's the fun in that?)

Hubs and I had a great weekend together. We mapped out part of our vision for the back yard and bought some supplies to get started, then spent half the day Sunday digging and weeding out what will be our planters. We went for a bike ride, hung out with friends, and hung out with each other. It was fun, productive, and active. And for the first time in a while, TTC and IF weren't the #1 things on my mind every minute of the day. Maybe more like the #2 or #3 things, and maybe for only 30% of the time, but still. I think that's progress.

It was nice feeling like I could get to a place where I can let go a little. Since hubs and I are coming up on the BD part of the month, I need to get started with the OPKs soon. I don't really want to use them because they stress me out, and I've been enjoying my less-stressed attitude! But I feel like I should since I'm on Clomid. Maybe I'll just do it and make hubs check the results every day. Think that'll work? Works for me... :)
