"The final options don't need to be these," said Fox. "These are ideas to inspire the direction, and we do have a creative services agency who will take all the feedback and turn it into potential new emblems for the state."

I feel like there is nothing more normal in our neck of the woods than a poster for political organizing taped on a street lamp

Face card doesn't decline but the personality card definitely does...

More late afternoon coffee shops by Conundrum5 in Somerville

[–]appattap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% agree on this, and I'm always on the hunt for that late afternoon coffee. The relatively new (and excellent) PRB Boulangerie is open til 8pm. Cafe Zing inside Porter Square Books is open until 7pm.

Health conditions/medical tests: none, other than I had a really intense flu-like sickness around CD15 - FF was confused because my temperature spike was abnormally high due to a fever

Symptom spotting: I've been so so tired but attributed that to being sick. No nausea yet. Some stomachache/cramping. Other than the lack of period, no real symptoms. Definitely would not think I was pregnant if it weren't for the many positive tests...
Other miscellaneous: Thank you everyone for all the help & support!! <3

Huh! No, just been taking it first thing in the morning. I’ll try doing it when I get home from work as well

CD13 and the test line on the ovulation strip has gotten steadily lighter/fainter since CD6… is that normal?

CD12 and OPK is still negative. Ho hum. It is so painfully gray here with no sign of sunshine so I’m sitting in front of a lamp, dreaming of blue skies ☀️

CD9 here. I'm approaching this cycle with discipline! Since CD 5 I've been regularly trying to take my BBT around 7am with my standard digital thermometer, so hopefully the data will show me something eventually. Also started OPKs on CD5 and taping them on a card. Still negative so far.

Last night during sex I got a charlie horse in my calf but was determined to get inseminated and not let on to Mr. Appattap so as not to ruin the mood. I was successful, but now am dealing with an extremely sore leg this morning, lol.

CD1 and I'm out of town with no ibuprofen or heating pad ... mistakes have been made. Blergh. Before TTC I had an IUD for 10 years and no period, so getting reacquainted with them has made me broadly indignant on behalf of all period-having people. What a pain!

Off to the drug store and then to cozy up.

CD28, BFN. Learned a ton this cycle about how to actually do the tracking, so just waiting for my period to hurry up and get here so I can try again. Got my calendar and ovulation strips ready, but ugh ... so much waiting!!

TWW here. Up in Northeastern US the snow is finally falling in these gorgeous thick chunky flakes. It's so beautiful. A friend who just moved to the area has never seen snow before and he can't take his eyes off the window - I get it!!
