Welcome
Not pregnant this month…
Well, it seems like this isn’t my month. At 11 dpo (that’s days past ovulation), I had another temperature dip. For those unfamilar, when you’re pregnant, your temp stays elevated and often gets more elevated. So two days in a row at this stage of lowering temps almost certainly means my period is just a breath away… I even had some menstrual-type cramps. I did a test this morning and it was negative.
I decided I’m just not wasting anymore tests this cycle. Obviously, I am not pregnant… no point in torturing myself any further.
I am scheduled to get my period Wednesday, but it’s hard to know for sure if it will come then. I’m hoping it just comes sooner, rather than later, so I don’t allow my ever hopeful side to play mind games and read into “symptoms” that are just PMS. Besides, the sooner it comes, the sooner it ends and the sooner I get to start all over again, right?
We had our inspection on the house yesterday. Everything is in decent shape, the structure is extremely sound. Some of the finish work is sort of shoddy, but that’s cosmetic and we can always fix that. We’ll need to do some painting, but that’s no big deal. The only things we objected to are some woodpecker holes (a common problem in the mountains) and a window that broke since the first time we saw the house. Hopefully, they’ll just fix those things… and if not, we might just take the house anyway. We have to think it over, but it seems likely that we’ll be getting the house. Pretty cool…
I am so annoyed. Last night at Best Buy I bought a copy of The Sims Deluxe. This game is old, and my PC meets all the requirements for it… but the damn thing won’t run and EA tech support blows. I can’t find any solutions for the problem I have online, either. I find references to the problem, but no answers. I’m irritated. I really wanted an *escape* from the disappointment of not being pregnant, and I’ve got nothing…
Oh, well. Maybe next month, right? Isn’t that what I’m supposed to think now? Somehow it’s not really very comforting.
