Good afternoon Humble Readers...
Today's post is just another collection of randomness from the last few days. Nothing big is going on... Kind of like the calm before the storm of the holidays.

Cycle update: Today is CD 22, 8dpo. Five days until AF is due. Phantom symptoms chose to really kick in today. I was nauseous for most of the morning, and still feel just a tad queezy. Mild dizziness off and on. Of course, the 'girls' are killing me, but that's par for the course during my tww. I will not test... I will not test...

We had my Beloved's mom over for dinner last night. We rarely get to host her at our place, so it was nice to have her come for dinner and to see our pictures from NYC. She wants us to think she is doing ok, but I know that she is still struggling. She didn't mention Dad once last night, but I think that might be her way of coping.

I went out for lunch today with my pastor. She is so easy to talk to, and she has walked down the IF road too. She is in the midst of some difficult stuff right now, and if you pray, please lift her up. Spiritual leaders are always targets.

I took myself shopping this afternoon, and went into Ba.th & Body Wo.rks unchaperoned. Bit of a mistake. They had their room scent diffusers on sale. I ended up getting Autumn Leaves, Ginger Vanilla, and Spring Bamboo. All of them are lovely! I also got some lotion for my Beloved. It's a constant search to find a lotion for him that he likes... either it smells too strong or it causes him to break out. We'll see about this one.

On my way out of the mall, I stopped at a new tea place and got an iced ginger tea infusion. All of their teas are brewed from loose leaves, and it smelled wonderful in the store. The one I ordered was supposed to help settle my stomach. Thing is it tasted so bad that it made me feel even worse. It was a waste of $5. Bummer!

I have really loved this month's ICLW. The list was huge, and there were a ton of new blogs (at least to me). It's really been a lot of fun. I have ten more blogs to check out, and then I will have visited everyone (except for the few password protected ones). So many incredible stories in this community!

On the menu tonight: Mandarin Almond Chicken, with rice. Yummy!
I hate the phantom symptoms. My periods are not regular so it takes all my will power not to test. Argh.
ReplyDeleteI hope the queasiness is a great sign. *fingers crossed* That must be such a support that your pastor went through IF herself.
ReplyDeleteI hate the phantom symptoms too! Crossing my fingers for you that they all mean something!
ReplyDeletePhantom symptoms are just terrible. They are so convincing. Praying for you, I hope they end up being the real deal!!!
ReplyDeletePS...Isn't the Autumn Leaves scent just fantastic, I'm in love with it!!!
Praying those phantom symptoms aren't phantom at all! Well done on getting around to everyone on the ICLW list this month! I failed miserably, but will try again next month!
