15 thoughts on season 21 of The Bachelorette

The season just wrapped, so here are some thoughts!

  1. What a brutal finale
  2. I feel like the show was pretending to have Jenn's back rather than just actually having it
  3. There were some fun characters this season (e.g. Hakeem)
  4. I wish Jenn had asserted herself a bit more this season (e.g. just being like "No, I will not jump off this building. That is a hard boundary.")
  5. It was shocking to me that they just jetted off right away and then came back to the US
  6. I would like for the record to show though, that I did successfully predict she'd propose
  7. So, are they permanently going to use this new mansion (on the preview for The Golden Bachelorette they showed the cast being at the original mansion)?
  8. I'm excited to see Grant as the next Bachelor
  9. As always, Jenn sent some people home night one that I would've kept and kept some people I would've sent home
  10. I am actually tempted to watch this next season of Bachelor in Paradise
  11. At times, my thoughts on the men were definitely colored by some jadedness lol
  12. I wonder if why the live audience wasn't as on board with Marcus as they were with Devin (prior to Jenn's reveal) was because of some accusations that have been made about him
  13. As is usually the case, some of the men were just trash
  14. I feel like, before long, we're going to have a kid of one of the early couples become the next Bachelor or Bachelorette (The Bachelor debuted 22 years ago after all...)
  15. Jenn was a pretty good Bachelorette and I wish her the best on her romantic journey (she's only 26 or 27 so I have faith she has time to find a good one)

(Prompt by me)

The Bachelorette, ABC

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

15 things you can do in the wake of the latest shootings

Please note that I don't mean to suggest that now is the first time that action has been needed (because clearly change has been needed for a very long time), but if you're feeling like me maybe you want to think of ways you can do something now. I know that not everyone can do all or even some of these things and I am far from an expert, but if your'e looking for ideas, here are some places to start. Be sure you're taking care of yourself. I know I can get caught up in thinking that other issues are more important, but the reality is that if you're not taking care of yourself you are not going to be able to give as much as you'd like. There's not point driving yourself into the ground. Now this can mean a lot of things, but right now I'd say to figure out what kind and how much coverage of the shootings you want to engage with. Perhaps it works better for you to read articles rather than see footage from the shootings or maybe it means taking a break
