Cage-free eggs
No egg this month, so we're starting a new cycle today. I had a chat with the ovaries and have given them 13 days to either produce an egg or I'm turning things over to Cheney and Rumsfeld. Nothing like a little shock and awe to get things in order. I'll do whatever it takes. Why? Because I'm on a mission.

Where's my damn egg?
Excuse me, but I ordered an egg like 10 days ago...
It looks like I didn't ovulate this month. Mother Nature is a twat. I used like 20 of those damn expensive Clearblue sticks. For those fiscal conservatives, that's like $25. And for what? Lots of "Lows" followed by lots of "Highs" and no damn "Peaks" at all. What a rip. I'm told that it could be stress from the move (or other stuff), which is understandable. But, isn't that a little picky? I mean, if the egg isn't released, it's not like it gets to hang loose in the ovary for another month. It just dissolves. Or whatever. The egg had best show itself next month or I'm going in after it.

Delayed ovulation
My eggs are wimps. Apparently stress is preventing me from ovulating on time this month. I was hoping that it would radically change my schedule so that I wouldn't have to miss my next few attempts, but I'm not sure that I'll luck out. We'll see.

No one pissed me off today
No one pissed me off today because: a) I stayed home most of the day, and 2) The Red Sox didn't play. I got a "high" reading on my fertility monitor. So, at this point, it needs to stay "High" and not go to "Peak" until my co-parent gets back from his trip. We shall see.

I'm annoyed
I'm annoyed today. First, for the first time that I ever recall, ovulation is delayed. It could be stress-related because I just moved across the country. But I'm pissed because I can't try the next two cycles because of scheduling problems. Second, everyone is getting on my damn nerves. And, no, it's not PMS. It's because people suck. Follow...
I just moved into a new apartment where I had to pay a $1200 deposit. Two days later, my first month's rent was due. I paid promptly, placing the envelope directly into a slot in the office door that read "Rent Drop." Two days later, I received a note on my door from an attorney on behalf of the complex telling me that they were starting eviction procedures. Long story short, they lost my envelope somehow. But wouldn't you double-check with a new tenant before sending a mean note. (And this is a fancy complex.)
Second data point: I walked by to check my mail today, and the mailman was there filling up mailboxes. I said "Oh, I'll come back." And he asks me, "Are you new?" I said, "Yes. " Then he hands me a flyer and says "You must not have gotten one of these." The flyer reads, "Please don't interrupt the mailman when he's filling the mailboxes." Passive aggressive, maybe? Had I not been so taken aback, I would have returned a stinging response. F*cker. Instead, I said, "Well, I'll leave so you don't go...oh, nevermind." I think he didn't catch that though.
Third data point: I got a statement from my old apartment complex notifying me that my $600 deposit EXACTLY covered all of the "repair" and "cleaning" work they had to do when we moved out. I will never spend a full day cleaning the floor on my hands and knees to get a deposit back. I will also never rent a steam cleaner (twice) during my last two weeks to make sure the carpet is in top condition. I think they planned to keep the whole amount the whole time. F*ckers.
I'm out of patience for the rest of the day. I'm not taking anymore shit from anyone--especially until I see a big ol fat egg on my fertility monitor. And, the Red Sox better win today too.
