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)

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...
