15 things I'd love to do for a pirate party if I had the money

Maybe one day!

  1. Develop a scavenger hunt
  2. Rent out fabulous pirate-y costumes for all attendees
  3. Rent two boats with crew who know what they're doing
  4. Have the crew give tours of the boat in pirate style
  5. Acquire foam cutlasses for everyone
  6. Hire actors to play an opposing pirate ship that we must either battle (with foam cutlasses) or parlay with
  7. Pass out a sheet of pirate sayings
  8. Make guests walk the plank to exit (with life vests on)
  9. Serve many citrus-y cocktails to fight off scurvy
  10. Develop a drinking game around pirate sayings and trivia
  11. Find someone ethical to bring tamed parrots to the party
  12. Hire a group to perform and teach sea shanties
  13. Serve lots of seafood as I imagine they'd eat it a lot
  14. Have some gambling games set up
  15. Play a game where drunk people have to quickly identify if a blurry image is a manatee or a mermaid

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.

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...
