It's the end of the world as we know it (2020 edition)

A different kind of parody this time.


[Verse 1]

That's best, it starts with a protest

in Hong Kong, the corona,

Australia's all aflame

Start of an impeachment, listen to the truth twist

Trump serves his own needs, he'll misserve all our needs

A stock market crash, dip, dive, drop, down

The lockdown makes us all frown with fear of no, one, no

Knee choked with plea, representing many more

And a police force that's worse and is protested

Right of right and coming in a hurry

With the proud boys breathing down your neck

Day by day, reporters baffled, Trumped, sickened, mislead

Look at that solar eclipse

Uh oh, an earthquake, deadly landslide, many floods

But NASA Mars rover, find some life.

Trump serves his own needs, listen how your ears bleed

Tell me when election night and tea party will say good night

His vitriolic, diabolic, slam fight, bright white

Feeling in a plight


[Chorus]

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's the)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's the)

It's the end of the world as we know it

And I feel scared


[Verse 2]

Lebanon explosion, don't forget climate erosion

or B. Taylor, shout out, listen to your voice's clout

Lock them in uniform, woods burning, brexiting

Every debate escalate, most candidates deactivate

Light a candle, light a votive, call out, call out

Watch your Zooms crash, crashed, uh-oh

This means sourdough, overthrow dictator and steering clear

A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies

Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives, and I will vote


[Chorus]

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

And I feel scared

(I feel scared) 


[Chorus]

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

And I feel scared


[Verse 3]

The other night I dreamt of friends, from digital drift divide boxes sit in a row, murder hornets

run Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, and Liz Warren

Nasal swab tests, adopt lots of plants, pets!

We're idiotic, quite chaotic, masked but no

Right? Right!


[Chorus]

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

And I feel scared


[Bridge]

It's the end of the world as we know it

It's the end of the world as we know it

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

And I feel scared


[Chorus]

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

And I feel scared


[Outro]

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

And I feel scared

Starting my parental journey, part 9

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 ,  read part 7 here , and read part 8 here . 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...
