15 things I like

I know I've done this before, but I'm just going to re-use it.

  1. Brownies. Diana and I made some and dear god were they good.
  2. Pesto. It's one of the foods I can eat a massive amount of.
  3. Mac and cheese. Another of my favorite foods.
  4. Lambs. I saw so many cute little ones frolicking in Connemara.
  5. Freshly cleaned sheets. I hate making my bed, but once it is made, it's heavenly.
  6. Ruins. I love seeing archaeological sites.
  7. Clear nights. Stars are stunning.
  8. Being read to. It's calming and makes me feel taken care of.
  9. Lakes. I like pretty much all bodies of water, but I guess I like lakes because I can often see all of them.
  10. Cracking my knuckles. Just feels good.
  11. Having freshly washed hair. A waft of my shampoo everywhere I go.
  12. Those sequin things where you can flip them over and make new colors. Oh so satisfying to play around with.
  13. Lilacs. They smell amazing.
  14. Netflix. Who doesn't?
  15. Instant messengers. It's how I keep in touch with most people these days.

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...
