Another 15 things about my dog

Yes, you will keep being subjected to information about my dog.

  1. She goes up the steps in a bit of a zigzag pattern
  2. She can be very insistent when she wants her head scratched
  3. She NEEDS to be an only dog because she will get jealous
  4. She thinks she can fight fireworks
  5. While she seems to be mostly fine during a thunder storm, she does seek me out sometimes
  6. She has learned the usual places that I hide food for her scavenger hunts, so I need to get more creative
  7. She is gaining weight (this is good, she was too skinny)
  8. She will not abide nail cutting, not even for peanut butter
  9. Peanut butter is enough, however, to sustain her through a bath
  10. She is super friendly with people but not always with dogs
  11. She gets along best with older dogs and smaller dogs
  12. When she sees gum on the street, she sniffs it, scratches at it, and then pees on it...what a process
  13. I think she's starting to try play biting with me...at least I hope that's what it is
  14. Her summer coat is the softest
  15. I am lucky to have her

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...
