15 trivia answers about me

Since I've being doing trivia, I thought it'd be kind of fun to write some questions about myself. I don't really expect anyone to know these by the way. It's not actually a reflection of how well you know me, just if you know trivia about me.

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.
