So, my morning OPK was negative. We’ll see what it all means in the end, I guess.

However, by last night I was convinced, no REALLY convinced this time (heh) that I was.

First, I have established that I get tired before my period. Yesterday was super-tired, though, and different in that I had to have twice as much tea to feel half as normal. (Yes, I know caffeine is bad, yadayada, but I drink — at max, usually — 2 cups of tea a day, which is well below the recommended caffeine limit. I KNOW! I was stoked to see that caffeine wasn’t TOTALLY banned, too!)

Second, and all about the boobs, I have noticed that the Lane Bryant mirrors make my boobs look weird. The two previous times I seemed veiny were in the LB dressing room. (I LOVE their CoolMax bras, so, so, much!) However, by the time I went to bed last night, my breasts felt hot and heavy. With dim lighting (Why, yes, I DID check them out in various levels of lighting, a la that infamous makeup mirror “Office! Home! Oudoor!” etc settings.) there was a definitive increase in veinyness. Everywhere, blue streaks, even on the sides and bottom and center. I was able to sleep on my stomach, but only after propping up on my elbows a bit.

I also woke up at 3 & 4 & 5 needing to pee, but I held it because I wanted to hit that OPK this morning. Right now, my boobs hurt.

Last night, Dave crawled into bed wrapped around me, and put his hand on my belly and rubbed, and right then, I thought “Please, please let it happen soon.”

Off to school, to be there for 12 frickin hours: school, detention, tech presentation to the student teachers, and then an NJHS service thing while the administration tries to explain our Local Assessment System. Which, also means I will miss YOGA. Second week, and I need it more than ever,now.

Sigh.
