a quickie

I guess you all probably figured that no news was not - in this case - good news. I am now on day 5 of a shiny new cycle. Yay.

I would have posted sooner but I was out of town for the latter part of last week (where it was negative one degree, literally) at a pointless workgroup meeting, and this weekend I've spent upward of 16 hours on a xmas gift for our parents. More importantly, I needed to shake my major bad mood before posting. It was a different type of disappointment this time around. More on that later, perhaps. Or perhaps not. I'm trying to focus on the positive as much as I can.

So, we're now "on break." December is crazy enough with Christmas travel, but I'm also ovulating right around KD's wedding anniversary. There is something way too wrong about asking someone to abstain from anniversary sex with his wife in an attempt to knock up his sister-in-law. Nope, not gonna do it. So far, I've already celebrated my break with more wine than I've had in the last 3 months and a couple nights of "forgetting" to take my prenatal vitamin. I may even get a massage. More than anything, I'm going to enjoy living my life in increments greater than 2 weeks. Granted, it's only a month until I'm back on the TTC track (I hope!), but I plan to enjoy this downtime while it lasts.
