Really more than you want to know.

Yesterday, I sent K out to the dollar store for a bunch of pee sticks. Because yesterday morning I was feeling this kind of nibbling/plucking kind of feeling low down on the left side. Implantation, perhaps? Anyway, the test I took last night was negative...although we did see the faintest shadow of a line an hour later. I know, I know. You're not supposed to look at them after 10 minutes. I did another test this morning and it was just as negative.

Haven't abandoned hope yet. It's still early to be getting a result -- especially from a dollar store test. And, you know, I've never even gotten a positive on an ovulation predictor stick, and I know that I ovulate. It's possible that my pee is just very dilute, although [TMI ALERT] it has been smelling very funky for the last few days. I'm at 12 days post-ovulation and my period is due on Thursday -- the day I go for my blood test. As today goes on, I am feeling less pregnant and more premenstrual.

In other news:

-- I bought a pair of winter boots! Thanks, starfishchick for the link on Friday. They're very cozy and look like they're lined with fur from some alien beast.

-- While trying on said boots, I managed to pull a muscle in my side. Ow.

-- I've plotted out my Yuletide story! And actually started writing! Huzzah!

-- We made pie. I did the crust using the food processor, which was ridiculously easy and K made the filling (apple). It's really, really good.

-- We managed to empty the two bookshelves in the hall and do some serious purging.

-- I've lost track of how many naps I had this weekend amid all the other activity. So. Sleepy.

Accentuate the positives: dilute pee means you're keeping correctly hydrated, which can only help keep things healthy.

Yes! I am the poster child for hydration! Which is why it's so weird to have smelly pee! Yeah, yeah, TMI. Must get a grip on the overshare. *hugs*
