Gryphons & Gargoyles

Okay so this is a bit of a cheating post in that I'm not going to time myself. Last night I was thinking about how shows like Riverdale want to have a Dungeons & Dragons-type game, but don't want to use the actual name so they come up with a new name with a different letter of the alphabet. So I'm going to come up with one for each letter (excluding the original and I'm stealing 2 from shows). Instead of fifteen minutes, I'm just making myself use the first idea I have for each letter. If you can think of a better one, tell me!

  1. Attics & Automatons
  2. Beasts & Basements
  3. Crypts & Creatures*
  4. Dungeons & Dragons**
  5. Entryways & Elementals
  6. Forests &Fairies
  7. Gryphons & Gargoyles***
  8. Hills & Hippogriffs
  9. Indoors & Imps
  10. Jungles & Jackalopes
  11. Kitchens & Kappas
  12. Libraries & Leprechauns
  13. Mausoleums & Mermaids
  14. Nooks & Nymphs
  15. Orcs & Outhouses
  16. Phonebooths & Phoenixes
  17. Quads & Qiqirns
  18. Restaurants & Redcaps

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 ways to support me on my parental journey

I posted yesterday and in August, 2023 about starting my parental journey. If you're wondering how you can support me, here are some ideas I have at the moment (though these may change and also don't feel pressured to do any of these things). Check in via text or DM so I can respond at my leisure (but please don't be insulted if I take a long time to respond) Help with arranging food for me (I know that when I get overwhelmed, I often have really awful eating habits) Offer to help with apartment chores (I may turn you down, but the offer will mean a lot) Walk Hoban (I realize only some people can do this, but the relief of lightening the responsibility of Hoban will likely be welcome) Be understanding if I have to cancel plans (I hope to still be somewhat social during this time, but I cannot guarantee how I'm going to feel) Drive me to appointments (I have the retrieval itself covered, but I have other appointments that will happen leading up to it so if you have the...
