15 things I'd like to learn

In a dream world, I could learn how to do all of these things.

  1. How to sing. I think with some training I could be okay at it.
  2. How to dance. It'd be nice to be able to dance without feeling intensely self-conscious.
  3. How to design clothes. I could finally have dresses that I like and that fit in the fabric I want. What a dream.
  4. How to sew clothes well. I know a basic stitch, so I can mend my stuff but it'd be cool to make my own dresses.
  5. How to make cocktails. Other than a rum and coke, I don't think I can make a single one.
  6. How to do makeup. I got mascara down but that's it.
  7. How to do my hair. I have like one trick and that's it.
  8. How to do a back flip. I just think this would be cool.
  9. Some self-defense moves. I did two classes and enjoyed them, it would be good to do some more.
  10. How to raise one eyebrow. I think this is just a genetic thing, but I think it would be cool to be able to do.
  11. How to French braid. I know it in theory, but not in practice.
  12. How to design escape the rooms. I'm going ot my second one tonight, so it would be cool to be able to design one.
  13. How to like tea. I'm really trying on this one.
  14. How to design a website. I would like to have my own website. Even though I appreciate this blog, it would be nice to have complete control.
  15. How to dress myself well. I honestly don't have a good sense of how to do this.

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...
