Distraction Day...

Today was our D-Day. We did everything possible to distract ourselves from the BFN. I would say we were pretty inventive at times.  But before we could enjoy the day, Luna made a beeline out the front door into our busy street. We're pretty sure the entire neighborhood saw the commotion of Aiden chasing her around the cars and eventually tackling Luna on the sidewalk. In protest, Luna turned her 50 pounds into a limp 80 as she was being carried back into the house. Oh yeah and she didn't have her collar on, but she does now! All our furkids are microchipped but stripped of their collars at night for everyone's sleeping sanity.
Back to D-Day: First we went to our local ghost mall turned community art space.... with Frankenstein. We took his transporter (aka stroller) for in the stores but he was free to roam on his leash everywhere else. He absolutely loved it. Sure all the old mall walkers stared in their matching sweat suits, but we were staring right back. Personally, I think a one eyed dog being pushed in a blue stroller by two lesbians is a lot less weird than matching sweatsuits for arm pumping, mall walking. Don't you? After a few hours we packed up and headed to Peanut's house. Frankenstein played with Peanut's three big "dawg-dawgs." We got some awesome play and cuddling in, with a dash of Aunties feeding lots of fun foods to the Peanut man. Aiden and Peanut rocked and napped together, which was especially healing. Nothing like a 345 day old fluffy butt kid passed out on your chest. To finish up the night we all (P's parents too) went out for some mexican. P was a ham and especially flirty with the girls in the restaurant.
For all those TTC and being bummed with a BFN: What special treats do you let yourself have or do during AF time?  So far I've indulged in a Mountain Dew and deli sandwich. It's not a biggie but man it tasted good.
