15 animals I'd think about having as pets

Dog. Obviously. I love dogs and they love me and they get you out and about and you can cuddle them.
Rabbit. They are fluffy and bouncy and you can take them for walks if you want.
Guinea pig. I saw one at the zoo and I really wanted to steal one.
Iguana. I love reptiles and I always thought iguanas were cool. I'm also pretty sure you can put them on a leash.
Bearded dragon. It would be so cool to say I have a pet dragon.
Fancy spotted gecko. Okay I definitely just love that it's called fancy, but it's also very pretty.
Toad. I can't remember the name of toad I saw that I really liked, but it was so cute and round and I wanted it.
Tegu. They are incredible. I love their jowls and I would love having a lizard so big I can cuddle it and take it on walks.
Chinchilla. They are super cute and fluffy. I've heard they can be a bit mean so I'd have to hang out with the chinchilla before I bought it.
Love birds. I think they're adorable.
Cockatoo. I've always loved them. Plus, I could teach one to talk.
Potbelly pig. They're so cute and they only get as big as about a medium sized dog so they're very doable.
Alpaca. Now I would need two and like a half acre of land, but I really do love them.
Hedgehog. They're super cute and could be fun to hang out with.
Chameleon. I love how these lizards look.

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...
