FET 8: CD 28, 3dp

Only one symptom: cramping. Ongoing since transfer. Started before I started the crinone on cd 26. On Saturday we were walking home and it got more intense. I took a few breaks going uphill and then rested when I got home. Trying to stay hydrated. Getting ready for the holidays is keeping me occupied and my mind off the what ifs. 

I don't have any pee sticks. I may have learned my lesson with the mind games they cause and didn't restock after the last round. Instead, we're running around town looking for other tests: covid testing kits are once again in short supply. We're trying to test the group before gathering for the holiday and it's proving difficult to find kits. I went to two walgreens, a cvs, and a rite aid and got one kit. Others have found similar results. I don't understand why test kits are this difficult to find 18 months after the start of the pandemic. This, along with the new Texas abortion laws, makes me wonder if I should reconsider living in this country.

Watching the Netflix documentary "Turning Point: 9/11 and the war on terror." I was in high school when it happened and remember all the details from my point of view. Over the years I watched a lot of footage about other people's point of view of the same day. Hours and hours of documentaries and personal stories. Maybe it's that I remember witnessing the event, or that I know a world before 9/11, or that I'm still in disbelief that it actually happened. Regardless of the reason, I will watch anything new that comes out (minus the conspiracy theories - watched enough to know it's not for me).

Among several other dishes, my Rosh Hashanah menu includes a delicious vegetarian mock liver (basically an eggplant dip), some sweet and sour meatballs, and so much challah. 

Happy 5782! Wishing health, happiness, success, and peace to all.
