Thursday thoughts -- why not?

Truly, I work in a zoo.  Our department secretary has brought her dog in to work today in the office next to mine!  People are in and out of her office all day.  What if you're allergic?  Or afraid?  Too bad, apparently.  Yeesh.

i got another message from mr. cummings (i wish i had the guts to send a message back to him calling him that!).  he was telling me the title of the seminar he will be giving.  he capitalized the seminar title correctly but still wrote the rest of the message (including the formal signature file) in lower case.  the funniest part about this is that he very carefully uses correct grammar and punctuation.  he even correctly used a semicolon in the first message!  too bizarre.  i can't wait to meet this man.  i feel like he's going to whisper everything he says.

OMG it was hard to write that paragraph in lower case.

Yesterday was one of those days where it feels like your brain and your mouth are not really connected.  This is a problem when you're trying to give a lecture or when someone is interviewing you about how you do research.  I felt like a complete idiot all day...  Much better today because I finally got some sleep last night.  I feel like a new person.

I took yesterday afternoon off and lounged around in the backyard in the sunshine reading.  It was incredible.  I was so tired and just really needed some time to myself.  Of course, now I'm even more behind at work than I was, but it was definitely worth it.


I've been feeling really positive about this cycle -- more so than in many, many months -- but that came crashing down today.  My temperature plummeted back down again this morning, just like it normally does 12 DPO.  I'm feeling moody, anxious and just generally PMS-y.  It's not over 'til it's over, but I still cried in the shower this morning.


I saw the first daffodils blooming when I came into work today and it just made me grin from ear to ear.  I love spring.  It's supposed to be in the mid 80's today (we're going to break a record) and I just want to go outside and enjoy it!

OK, I'm trying not to sound so depressed and whiny but it doesn't appear to be working.  I sound like I'm having mood swings.  I'm trying to stay on the positive side. 

Does anyone else feel a really strong desire to announce a pregnancy today and then yell "April Fools?"
ETA:  Let me clarify that I would never actually do this...it would be horrible on all ends.  Just that at some point I'd really like to be able to announce a pregnancy and see how that feels (I really do think it will happen some day) and it kind of seems like I could get away with it today...
