Hi ladies!

I'm curious what are your best distractions from TTC that help you either pass the time, stress less, make it more enjoyable or prevents you from becoming depressed... I think we could all use some of the tools, hobbies to help keep our sanity thru the roller coaster.

I've asked about this before a long time ago, but I think it would be great to hear again and from anything new that you might have taken up doing!

I don't have much to distract me from it. I don't work and the cold weather keeps me inside a lot. So I get super obsessed now a days. I try and have projects to do constantly, I clean A LOT and spend a lot of time on JM.

Ironically, things that keep me offline. I spent a week on vacation last week and had very limited access to the internet, there were whole days where TTC didn't cross my mind. Now I am back to borderline obsessing and eyeing my shipment of Maca that recently arrived and calculating when I should start taking it.

I am considering starting an exercise regime to use as a de-stress because I need SOMETHING to get rid of all this dang tension.

Going to school. I've been out for a month for Christmas break but I'll start back this week. I'm so glad I'll have more to focus on.

Helping my husband prepare for his officer exams. Studying for my exams. Shopping for baby clothes on sale. I wish I was not so addicted to buying baby stuff. I had never shopped for baby things before I was pregnant...and even though I had a m/c, I cannot stop!

Well, I'm to obsessed with POAS, so NTNP isn't really working for me! I really like the OPK's and since I'll be getting the cyst out, I want to make sure everything still works, KWIM?

My distractions if you can call them that because they weren't long term had been reading, playing online games, and my daily workouts.
