1. I got my flu shot yesterday. I'm glad I did it, but man is my arm sore...
2. I took a pregnancy test yesterday... I prayed Hail Mary's over and over for the three minute wait. (In case you are new here, for medical reasons, we have been advised not to get pregnant until January, and we have been using the Creighton Model of NFP very strictly.) The odds of me being pregnant are in the neighborhood of 1%, but today is cycle day 34 with no sign of AF.... and I started having a minor freak out... I have never had a cycle this long. The result: NEGATIVE. I breathed a sigh of relief... (I really hate that this has to be my reaction... but more on that later.) I'm thinking that my body is still trying to figure things out after the D&C.
3. We put our pumpkins from the pumpkin patch outside on our porch, and a cat keeps taking random bites out of the small ones!!
4. I think I am going to try making a pumpkin pie using fresh pumpkin this year! I usually make mine with canned pumpkin, but I have heard that fresh pumpkin takes the pies to a whole other level!
5. My new favorite drink at Starbucks lately is a grande decaf coffee with half the pumps of hazelnut!! I registered my gift card awhile back, and the pumps are free! It makes the coffee so tasty with a little milk and Splenda in the mix. YUM!
6. The weather is finally starting to cool off here, and the leaves are beautiful!!
7. I have never had a cavity in my whole life, but I went to the dentist this week, and I have to have some pits filled so that they don't become cavities. I am not looking forward to being numbed and drilled on, but I am thankful that my brother in law is my dentist!
I love your quick takes!
ReplyDeleteWow, on # 2! I am sure you have mixed feelings too. Answers would be good. I hate not knowing what is going on with my body. I am going to Dr G today because I am having serious problems related to my endo (horrible cramping and bleeding for 15 days straight).
I am praying for you! Please pray for me!
I'm not fasting after all. :) Well- cutting back. Your fall decs and goals sound great!!! Wish I could join you for a cup of coffee and (real!) pumpkin pie! :)
ReplyDeleteYum, real pumpkin pie! Nothing like it. Not that I've made one!
ReplyDeleteSorry about your long cycle. Those are dreadful. But you're right, probably your body getting back on track.
Happy Friday!
Have you had the toffee mocha yet??? I want to try it but don't want to, at the same time, because if I don't like it I'll be so bummed. haha! I usually love to try new things, but since SO many times lately I've bought something "different" and despised it, I am a little gunshy. ;) I was going to get it today since it's my bday and my drink was free, but then I thought well...wouldn't it be a bummer if my drink was gross on my birthday? HAHA!
ReplyDeleteI am praying for you guys. Very glad you saw what you needed to see yesterday when you took that test!
