15 date night ideas

I'll try to make these COVID-times friendly.

  1. Mystery solving box. Snuggle up and solve a fictional murder
  2. Spa night. Give each other massages, light candles, meditate
  3. Go through the 36 questions to fall in love. Hopefully some deep conversations will be sparked
  4. Home theater. Make popcorn, get candy, turn off the lights, and put a new movie on
  5. Make terrariums together. For those plant lovers
  6. Board game night. Find games fit for two and go at it
  7. Music video night. Take turns sharing your favorite music videos with each other. Discuss why they mean something to you
  8. Baking night. Bake your favorite treats together and enjoy
  9. Mixology night. Try making some new cocktails for each other
  10. Work out together. Find some couples' workouts on YouTube and enjoy
  11. Make a full meal for each other. Including appetizer, entre, side, drink, and dessert
  12. Draw each other. You'll look deeply at one another and create together
  13. Have a meal outside (by the lake if you can). Tasty food and fresh air
  14. Puzzle night. Do jigsaws, crosswords, whatever kind of puzzles together
  15. Craft night. Go to a craft store and pick a craft or two to do together

I've officially begun my second cycle. On Wednesday, I had a virtual appointment, yesterday I had my baseline ultrasound, and today I began injections again. On Wednesday, I expressed my concern about my weight and was told not to fret about it for this cycle but that I should work on it for my health. I got told some vague things about measuring my food by volume and weight and that being the key the weight loss (idk it sounded weird to me). But other than that my appointment went well and I really liked the PA I met with. Overall, she was supportive and encouraging me to advocate for myself. Yesterday, I had to get up earlier than normal (6am) so I could make it to my ultrasound at 7am (I have asked for future ultrasounds to be at 8am). I got weighed (ugh), had my blood drawn, and t...

In order to get everything ready for the egg retrieval, I need to hop on birth control for a little bit and then hop off. It feels a bit odd to be taking oral birth control, have a birth control arm implant, and be getting ready for an egg retrieval--but that's how it goes (for me at least--getting to keep the arm implant is rare or so I'm told). People have asked me how I'm feeling about this round of egg retrieval and honestly, I haven't thought about it much yet. I am focused on a big stressful event for work and then C2E2 (Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo--basically, Chicago's Comic-Con) which I attend every year. Because of these two events (one stressful, one fun), I del...
