15 games I like

Okay I am done with finals, but my internet is real in and out today so this is going to be another short post.

  1. Red Flags. A hilarious game where people must decide what is the least bad red flag a date could have.
  2. Mysterium. While being a ghost who can't talk can be annoying, this game is great fun. Plus, it's collaborative.
  3. Love Letter. A fast game, but very fun.
  4. Spank the Yeti. Another hilarious game where you try and determine what actions the judge would do to what objects.
  5. Bezzerwizzer. Trivia and strategy in one game!
  6. Clue. I will forever love this game. I loved it as a kid and I love it now. Plus there is a fun movie you can watch while you play.
  7. One Night Ultimate Werewolf. A bit of a twist on the classic game of mafia.
  8. Ticket to Ride. I only just learned to play, but so far, so fun.
  9. ERS/Slap. Takes me back to high school. I rarely win, but when I do, I feel so awesome.
  10. Codenames. Takes a bit of mind reading, but I think it's fun.
  11. Pandemic. It's been a while since I played, but you must collaborate to save the world and I like that.
  12. Bananagrams. I'm not very good at word games, but in this one you can rearrange words and I appreciate that.
  13. Uno. It's way too satisfying to win this game.
  14. Trivial Pursuit. Team trivia is fun.
  15. Guess Who?. Childish? Yes. One of the biggest waves of nostalgia you could give me? Also, yes.

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...
