What a week.

Sunday- was sick all freaking day. Running a slight fever, overall feeling of crappiness. And DH gone all day at drill. Hooray.

Monday- feeling of hideousness continues. Actually left work early and didn't get crap from my boss for it either.

Tuesday- Struggled through work even though I still felt like crap. Had a craptacular meeting where my boss was seriously ticked off about something. If I knew what, I would tell you. But apparently it was all of our faults.

Wednesday- Fuck this noise. I stayed home from work.

Thursday- Feeling slightly better, made it through work (wanted to leave for other reasons though). Almost froze playing volleyball- last night of outdoor league. Thank god. Indoor is going to fuck me up though- if I break a shoulder taking a dive I would have walked away from in sand, don't be surprised.

Friday- Felt better. Finally. I really hope it isn't the fact that I had beer the night before that made me feel better and that I felt crappy all week because I didn't have any, because that is a really, really bad sign.
Bathe my itchy dogs- find a colony of fleas (which had been my suspicion). Wonderful. Scrub them, bought an undercoat brush, which is the best $15 I have ever, ever spent. Powdered down the carpets, sucked up the little bastards. Sprayed every cloth surface in the house. Brushed Buster after he dried- and was still getting buttloads of fleas. Shit. J brings his friend home from hunting and proceeds to tell me that he is spending the night. Thanks jerkwad. I just talked to you 20 minutes go- you couldn't have told me this so I could have at least cleaned up the house a little more?

Saturday- J is off hunting. I am on a mission to rid this house of fleas. We are going to get our asses beat by Texas Tech this afternoon.
On a positive note, I think I finally got most of the pee smell out of the carpet from Maggie's pissing episodes.
Oh, and 10 dpo test- BFN.

2 years

I have been married to this sorry bastard. Wow. At least he is on the same side of the world for this one!

And wouldn't you know it, but what did I get today- EWCM and +OPK. Nice. Looks like we are going to suck again at TTA.

Already?

So we are officially celebrating our anniversary today (I guess). How has it been two years already? Can we just count this as our first since he was gone for most of the first year of our marriage? Ok then.

Two more weeks. Then I will know where we stand on the TTC front. Maybe I need to get really stressed and delay my O until after then so we don't miss a cycle. Or not. I have been craptastical about charting lately- I could potentially be close, but who knows since I have temped once in the last week. Whoops. I blame the UTI, which has mysteriously disappeared- and that scares the crap out of me for some reason. I think the bacteria are all getting together to make a massive attack elsewhere. Joy.

Decisions, Decisions

So J is home. He had an awesome day hunting yesterday- got a small deer in the morning so we will have butt loads of ground deer in a week. Now he is waiting for a good size buck with some decent antlers (and more meat of course!).

We discussed TTC. Not sure what we are going to do this month. We are "officially" taking a break. Though neither of us is a big fan of it (I think our lack of avoidance last month made us not really care). He is indifferent and has left the ball completely in my court. Thanks a lot honey. Leave it all on me. I am tempted to just because that will put me at around cycle 10 when I have my annual appointment and provided I am not pregnant, we will be close enough to a year that we might just start any kind of testing early. Or not. Who knows.

W00T!!!

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.
