Yep, another detour! The Insomniac Theatre is still up an going, but now we serve coffee and pancakes for those of you worldwide who may be dropping on at the odd hour. Companionship and understanding served all day--guarenteed fresh!
Empty, I am so very sorry to hear about your loss of job!! That must of been such a total shock for you? Or were there rumors about as Mary mentioned? I can't help but think this is actually a good turn around sign for you. I think this is an opportunity to put all your focus on this next cycle and ttc. I know distractions are good, but in this case I think you should enter this as if it were a mini vacation. An opportunity to start your new career into motherhood. I am thinking of you and praying for you. The next 4 weeks are going to be good to you!
Mary, Thank you for the support and thinking my "under the weather is pg". It's actually a flu type bug. Sore throat, aching, headache sort of thing. It's just lingering around. The only pg symptom I have is the lack thereof. I have not symptoms of anything pg, or pms related. I truly am so sure I'm not pg. I think that's why I'm so relaxed about it this cycle. I just feel so not pregnant that I'm already looking ahead for the next cycle. The only remote symptom I have is that my temps remain in the 99's (course this could be the flu bug as well). I don't know how close to AF your temp begins to drop. Anyone know that answer? I'll bet Helen, our numbers lady knows!

Empty--I am so sorry about your job! I have had that happen to me twice, totally out of the blue, and it is quite disconcerting! You seem to be okay about it, and that is great. There must be something else you are supposed to be doing :-)
Mary--Thanks for your support. I am a NERVOUS WRECK!!!!!!

Sorry about the job. It is horrible for workers when the powers that be wheel and deal for their own benefit with no regard for the heart and soul of the company. Was it a total surprise, or were there rumors floating around? I hope this doesn't cause any added stress, as we all know how stressful TTC can be.
HeathJo: Good luck with the test today.
Helen: Are you testing today, as well? If so, good luck. I am pulling for you
Lisa: I am hoping that this whole "under the weather" thing is PG in disguise. How great would it be to have multiple BFPs this month.

hi guys - so today has been a bad day. my company got sold last night to another company and i lost my job. under the cirsumstances i seem to be feeling quite ok. I just feel displaced though as they have taken my mobile phone of me as well as my company credit card and my laptop. The good news is i am now a lady of leisure for the next few weeks.
There will be many many posts from me !

Lexima, I got tears in my eyes when I read your post. I'm so very, very happy for you. You must feel ontop of the world. Congrats.
Helen, I may have to wait a while before getting that teacher's degree. My hubby's about to start his masters in educational leadership. Can you imagine trying to raise a child (or two) with BOTH of us studying!?!?! 'Course, I'm making a big assumption there but what the heck!
I actually did a little teaching recently as DH had a foreign teacher resign to go home to a sick parent. He had to teach the class because he couldn't find someone anyone but it was just too much as he was already doing the jobs of 3 people. So I offered to help in any way I could. Next thing I know I'M teaching grades 10 and 11 English!!!! Aaargh... However, I felt pretty darned good when I was told the cool kids in the class were overheard in the corridor talking about how I was "Alright"! But in future, i think I'll go for something easier like grade 4... not too young... not too old...
Lisa, thank you for the vote of confidence! And wow... what an attitude you have! What are you taking and where can I get some??? Actually, in all fairness, I was pretty much the same last time if you remember... until the last 3 days, that is. Then I lost it. Hope you manage to maintain your cool, collected calmness!
Heather, I FULLY understand Catholic guilt. That's me all over!!!! BOY do I understand it!!!!!! The very VERY best of luck tomorrow. I hope you have good news!!
Right... off to work... feeling so much better this morning as managed to get 10 minutes alone with DH last night and he started asking if I was okay and what was wrong (SO unlike him to initiate a serious talk!!!)... and he was SO sweet. Went on and on about what a terrific job I've been doing with his daughter and how I've been making her feel so included and involving her in everything and taking the time to do so much with her.
I was close to tears. I honestly think he hadn't noticed and thought I was doing a **** job. But then I forget... he might be thinking all that but it never makes it as far as his mouth to be verbalised!!
