Or something internet slang-y.
Anyway. Last I posted ’twas the eve of my birthday and nothing was stirring, not even a snot-nosed child. But now my 19th birthday is 5 days past and normal life has returned.
I got a few wonderful presents, a Little Mermaid note pad from my friend C (Little Mermaid is my favourite), a beautiful black DS from Fil along with My Sims, a new car from my parents (haha), $100 from my parents, dinner at one of my favourite pasta/pizza places (Brick Oven) and Age of Empires: Age of Kings from JT.
I got another game with my money, Maternational so we could all play as a family. I also got a Christmas present early, Cooking Mama 2: Cooking With Friends. I really enjoy playing my DS, it helps me unwind after a day with the kids, school and making sure everything for Fil is copacetic. I like it. I got Fil the special edition Triforce DS for her Christmas present. We are now the coolest family in the west.
I went to FertilityFriend and got myself a new account, mostly so I could get the schnazy 30 day free trial, but also because my old account had a weird BBT chart that had FertilityFriend predicting ovulation at CD20. Mm. I think it’s because my temp was so high due to illness/fever late in that cycle. And it wasn’t a full cycle of readings.
So, my birthday pledge to myself is this: on CD1 start temping and maintain stable temping time (6.00 a.m.) throughout this cycle. Hopefully my temp will show something on a chart, FF will pick up ovulation and we can estimate a future insemination date.
Also, according to FF, my predicted ovulation day is either Christmas Eve, Christmas Day or the day after Christmas. Wouldn’t that be sort of wonderful, to say to Tarryn or Jack that they were conceived on Christmas? What a wonderful TWW present. Huh? But no luck for us this time, seeing as we won’t be any kind of ready by then. No donor, no free doctors visit, no baby.
So, before I go fold laundry, I will leave you with this book recommendation. Briar Rose by Jane Yolen. It’s about the Holocaust, incredibly interesting with twists and turns NO ONE would believe. I love it. It’s Young Adult, but that changes nothing. It’s quite heavy material, for YA I mean.
My DS is my fave. I have the pink, B has the black, and the MC has the white. My Sims is okay, but I’d really recommed Animal Crossing. Totally destresses you.
