Started spotting tonight! Yay! We didn't totally suck at avoiding. Tomorrow it should be a full blown period. Woo hoo! Last time I was this happy to get my period was when I was 19 and the freaking condom broke (and I had no clue about evap lines and was scared shitless for a few days).
On top of that, J should be heading home tomorrow! Hopefully it will be a quick trip and he will be home in a day or so!
And my "illness" seems to have subsided, as is my ridiculous level of fatigue. Stupid PMS anyway.
This has all the markings of being an excellent week!

And now
I am getting sick. Wonderful. I have a nasty cough starting, and even when I am getting a full night's sleep, I wake up feeling like crap and all achy (and it's not a post-workout ache).
Only 2 more days until J heads home from Louisiana. Hopefully it will hold off until then!

Dear body
I hate you. With a passion.
Reason#1- You just had to go and O right when J was headed out...meaning we actually had good timing this month when we were TTA. I was stressed, couldn't you have pulled another one of those delayed O's this month?
Reason#2- I have been so freaking good with my diet. Eating good foods, watching calorie intake, drinking plenty of water. On top of that, I have been getting more sleep and have been working out much more. And you have the audacity to gain 5 lbs? Fuck you.

Speaking of rain
So J and I are sitting here, enjoying our supper and I randomly mention something about New Orleans getting hit by a hurricane again. We finish eating and J goes back to his sewing, and the phone rings. It's his buddy G. Who happens to be his platoon sergeant (you know it can't end well with that in there).
Hurricane Duty. 1-2 months. Leaving at 0800 tomorrow. Fuck me running.
So now I am stuck with tore up yard, meet prep alone, and 100 other things- all because of this. I realize it's his job, and that this is what the National Guard is actually for, but it sucks nonetheless. At least for Iraq we had almost 9 months notice. We got 13 hours for this one.
Yay fun.

More Randomness
Volleyball
League- we kicked ass and won the championship match easily.
Tournament- thank God it was free because we sucked major balls
Work
So my craptastic meeting wasn't as bad as I was thinking. After much debate with J and with myself, I am going to stay put. I have been bouncing between jobs and it's not going to look well on a resume. Maybe in 5 years if I want to switch back to the University, if the department I worked in isn't looking for someone, as least I have a couple of very good references that will help tremendously with getting my foot in the door. For right now though, there is a far better future prospect where I am at.
TTC
Wickedly good timing this month. Had a dip yesterday accompanied by some spotting. Of course I did. I am really hoping that pregnancy would be one reason why they would let me back out of the meet (if needed). I still disagree with Fertility Fuckface and think my O date is a couple days later, but either way things are still good. Unfortunately I have a long LP and am going to try to wait until at least 12 dpo before testing- and that's 12 dpo from the date I think I O'ed, not the FF O date. (You can stop laughing hysterically now)
Meet Training
Beating myself for taking 4 months off. I could barely walk the other day from doing squats. Though missing that much time and coming back to a 275 lb set for a triple- yeah, I will take it.

Torn
I was so wickedly excited that I made the alternates list for World's. Considering I have only been doing this for 5 years, I find that to be pretty damn good. With everything that happened this past year with my former coach and with J being deployed (especially during that time), I was damn proud of myself for making it this for.
So I get the e mail the day- the DAY I freaking ovulate. And we had very good timing this month. Shit- that was a difficult decision to make to accept that invite. What if I get a BFP this month? That would make me about 14 weeks at the meet. I certainly can't be squatting 400+ lbs. to prep for this thing while pregnant.
So now I am in limbo. This is going to be a sucky 2ww, as I want both a BFP and a BFN.
The next choice comes in what to do in the event of a BFN. I can't stand the thought of not temping as I want to at least know when to expect my period. But no OPK's, screw cervical mucous, and we will have sex whenever. Then again part of me hates to lose those two cycles.
Grrr.

Randomness
Volleyball
Yay! We won last night! The team we played was the team we lost to in the championship match last session. Next week we are in the championship game again! Go Your Mom!
Work
Thank God end of month is over with. I still have a couple random things to finish up, but nothing like Thursday was. I about ran myself stupid that day. I totally think my hour off today was warranted. Hopefully when I have my 6 month review in the next couple weeks, all will be hunky dory.
J
Much better. I no longer have the urge to punch him. We talked through the stupidness and have had a couple very good days. Sucks that he has to have drill this weekend, or we could have done something fun. Maybe next weekend.
Garage
Nothing. Still just a hole in our yard. And it blows.
Weather
Hot and humid as fuck. (Makes for crappy sand volleyball playing)
Lifting
After a 4 month hiatus, I started hitting the gym with a vengeance. And now I am hurting with a vengeance. Benching kicked my ass- could only do 115 for 3. Squatting rocked thought- 275 for 3. They were a little high, but after that long a break to come back like that- awesome.
TTC
Note to ovaries- I only have 6 OPK's left. Please don't make me buy more this cycle. My vag is keeping up its end- you keep up yours.
The line is about half as dark as the control, which I know technically means nothing. However, I have already had my round of faint line then no line back to a slowly darkening line, which is typical for me.
