15 self-care things I need/want to do

Hi all, I'm tired today and have been a bit down lately so I'm cheating a bit. Here are 15 self-care things that I need/want to do.

  1. Get a massage. I was sitting in a theater today and I got a bad pain in my back. Walking home today I got a bad pain in my lower back. I think a massage is much called for.
  2. Get a manicure/pedicure. This actually just something that makes me feel pretty.
  3. Take a bath. I can't do this right now because I don't have a tub, but boy do I want to.
  4. Get a new dress. If I could find a dress that makes me feel nice, that'd be great.
  5. Eat some strawberries. They're delicious but expensive, but I should treat myself.
  6. Get a face mask. So I don't know if these things actually do something to clear up my face, but I do find them relaxing.
  7. Light a scented candle. I have three right now so this shouldn't be hard.
  8. Go on a walk by the sea. This is a bit weather dependent though.
  9. Take pictures of my pop vinyl figurines. I've been a bit behind on my blog lately.
  10. Start looking for jobs. By this I mean just browsing, getting ideas. Find ways to be excited about it.
  11. Brush my hair as a scalp massage. I do brush my hair daily, but that's for taming the beast. I should take some time to just give myself a massage.
  12. Get cozy. This could be another blanket or just having some hot cocoa.
  13. Maybe have a movie night. I think it's the level of socializing I'm up for.
  14. Allow myself to take a cab home when I'm tired. It's pricey yes, but sometimes I'm exhausted.
  15. Listen to some nice music. I'm not a huge music person, but I think it could be nice.

Starting my parental journey, part 1

To be clear, I am not pregnant. Nor do I currently plan on being pregnant soon. However, I promised myself that if I was 30 and still single I'd start to explore my options for having a child either on my own or later in life with a partner. Well, 30 came and went, but 31 is still here so close enough I figure. My first step was to make an appointment to discuss options with a doctor because I could do all the research I wanted on the internet, but I knew it would overwhelm me. As I write this, I haven't had that appointment yet so no news there. Now I made this appointment in February (hey, I was still 30 then!) and it was originally scheduled for October (yes, an 8-month wait for an initial appointment), but last week the appointment got moved up to this week and things got moving! The timing feels right in a certain way. Two people I care about are having babies in the next month, someone else I love is expecting next year, and I also know multiple couples either trying or g

Starting my parental journey, part 2

You can read part 1 here . Yesterday I began the next step of my parental journey. Ironically, it was starting birth control. This medicine helps prepare my ovaries for the egg retrieval process. It was weird taking the pill to prepare for my fertility journey because you typically think of the pill as ensuring you don't get pregnant. Obviously, I'm not getting pregnant now, but I am getting ready for that eventual possibility. There have also been various bureaucratic issues that I've been dealing with. Mostly insurance stuff (as I'm sure comes as no surprise). But, thanks to a new benefit at work that started 1/1/24, my journey will be (mostly) covered. While, again, there were some bureaucratic hurdles that I had to overcome in order for this to all work out, I am immensely glad that it did work out. I am nervous though. In part I'm nervous about a lot of the practicalities of this step in my journey. For instance, I will have to inject myself with various medica
