Lyrics to another song I wrote

Again, the pattern is copied from another song, but the idea is that the music would be different.


They say we are made of our memories

That they are our roots ensnaring stories

But now yours have fell as you came to age

And you have no words, and I don’t know what to say

 

Tell me of them, and now

Your and my mom’s vow

The scar on your eyebrow

How grandma used to bake

And swimming in the lake

I can still get to know you

 

Dear dad, tell me what you can and I’ll

Try to understand you've done your best

The best you know how to.

But who will I become?

And who are you

Undone

 

I know you’re there

So help me find my way to you

What do I ask?

To unlock your mind’s dark chains?

 

Tell me of them, and now

When you saw my eyes

Your Halloween disguise

How grandma used to bake

And swimming in the lake

I can still get to know you

 

Dear dad, tell me what you can and I’ll

Try to understand you've done your best

The best you know how to.

But who will I become?

And who are you

And who are you

Undone

 

Dear dad, I’ll tell you what I can and

Try to understand I've done my best

The best I know how to.

But who will you become?

And who am I

Undone

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...
