15 thoughts I had on last night's debate

Hey all, please know that these are pretty much all silly comments because I honestly think the few big take aways I had are so far from unique. But I'm happy to talk about those with anyone who is interested.

  1. Hell yeah Andrew Yang, your plan will pay off most of my loan...huh...almost seems like it doesn't fix my problems...
  2. The sound was slightly off and that was so distracting.
  3. Why did three candidates miss the blue memo?
  4. Some of the candidates must have had like stepping stools, right? I know I saw Klobuchar's...
  5. Biden and Yang got away without wearing wedding rings (see my rambling Buzzfeed post about this).
  6. Klobuchar had clearly practiced some lines ("While Bernie wrote the bill, I read the bill.").
  7. Yang's shirt is too tight...that top button was struggling. You're rich dude, get that tailored.
  8. Castro is going to catch so much flak for going after Biden.
  9. God I hate it when people don't just answer the question they were asked.
  10. Saying "he invoked your name" made the mentioned candidate sound like a demon...yes?
  11. Yang, you're right, standardized tests are problematic and, IMHO, awful...but you sure did make money on them, right?
  12. Hey Biden...real quick, what year is it?
  13. Each time there has been a protest at a debate, I can't understand what they're saying.
  14. Warren has a good career story, but I have heard it so many times (yes, I get that candidates have to repeat things so that people get them).
  15. Did Castro have glitter on his suit or was the light just catching it weird?
(Prompt by me)

I've officially begun my second cycle. On Wednesday, I had a virtual appointment, yesterday I had my baseline ultrasound, and today I began injections again. On Wednesday, I expressed my concern about my weight and was told not to fret about it for this cycle but that I should work on it for my health. I got told some vague things about measuring my food by volume and weight and that being the key the weight loss (idk it sounded weird to me). But other than that my appointment went well and I really liked the PA I met with. Overall, she was supportive and encouraging me to advocate for myself. Yesterday, I had to get up earlier than normal (6am) so I could make it to my ultrasound at 7am (I have asked for future ultrasounds to be at 8am). I got weighed (ugh), had my blood drawn, and t...

Starting my parental journey, part 8

You can  read part 1 here ,  read part 2 here ,  read part 3 here ,  read part 4 here ,  read part 5 here , read part 6 here , and read part 7 here . I have begun birth control again. Now, that may sound like I'm bailing out of my fertility journey, but it's actually the opposite. In order to get everything ready for the egg retrieval, I need to hop on birth control for a little bit and then hop off. It feels a bit odd to be taking oral birth control, have a birth control arm implant, and be getting ready for an egg retrieval--but that's how it goes (for me at least--getting to keep the arm implant is rare or so I'm told). People have asked me how I'm feeling about this round of egg retrieval and honestly, I haven't thought about it much yet. I am focused on a big stressful event for work and then C2E2 (Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo--basically, Chicago's Comic-Con) which I attend every year. Because of these two events (one stressful, one fun), I del...
