WTO New Year Long Weekend 2021!

It has been slow in the dailies lately (which will usually pick up after the new year) so I decided to just combine this through the weekend. 

**This is a thread that welcomes all regardless of where they are at in their TTC journeys. Please be mindful of topics that are discussed that could be hurtful to those going through tough times. Mention of children or pregnancies of others should have a TW (trigger warning) and be in a spoiler if possible, and only be mentioned if it is extremely pertinent to the conversation. Thanks for keeping this a safe place for us all to engage!**

GTKY: What is your favorite New Year memory? 

Re: WTO New Year Long Weekend 2021!

  • Options

    Month/Cycle: 12 months (I think I calculated this wrong before, January is month 13)

    CD: 5

    WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPKs, PNV

    R/R: I’m sad I have to work today, but at least it is a half day. I have no plans for tonight, and it is supposed to be storming so there will not likely be the usual neighborhood fireworks. Seems fitting for 2020. For a rave, we finally got our compensation letters for next year and apparently all the extra work I have been doing translated to a significant raise for next year, so that is nice! 

    CS/Q: Nothing but low period temps, but I actually remembered to temp for the last 2 days! 

    GTKY: What is your favorite New Year memory? Back in my irresponsible younger days (and in the before times when crowds were still a thing) I used to always go to big parties downtown for NYE and do some rather heavy drinking. My favorite year I went to a rooftop party in New Orleans and I just remember drunkenly watching fireworks off a barge in the river. Good times.

    @fitzfizz congrats on the raise!

    Month/Cycle: 2/3

    CD: 1

    WAYDTGKU: the usual

    R/R: cramps, headache, CD1. Feels like a fitting end to the dumpster fire that was 2020.

    CS/Q: nope

    GTKY: What is your favorite New Year memory? I don't really have a specific memory, new year's wasn't a huge deal aside from getting to stay up as a kid. We do have the tradition of eating appetizers instead of an actual dinner (we have stuff for pigs in a blanket and mozzarella sticks this year). Probably my favorite single memory is the time a few years ago when DH and I went in for the new year's kiss and our dog popped up between us and stole the kiss - he squirmed his way in and licked my husband right in the mouth.

    @fitzfizz that sounds like so much fun! Also, congrats on the raise! ❤️
    @fantasyflyte sorry about CD1. 👎🏼

    Month/Cycle: 7/8

    CD: 9

    WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPKs, Preseed, HIO EOD, all the vitamins

    R/R: I cannot seem to catch up on sleep. No matter how early I go to bed, I’m still waking up exhausted. So that’s fun. 

    CS/Q: just boring temps

    GTKY: What is your favorite New Year memory? One year in high school, my best friend and I threw a NYE party with a bunch of our friends. It was nothing special but we stayed up all night gossiping and playing games and watching movies.
