15 things that really annoy me

These are just petty things though! Also, I swear I did this one before but I can't find it. 

  1. Having to repeat myself because my phone and/or headphones are being wonky
  2. Getting my facemask caught in my headphones
  3. Putting my right earring in (it's more difficult than the left, I swear!)
  4. Clothing getting caught on door handles
  5. My hair getting caught on things
  6. Having a day where I drop everything (I swear there are days where I am all butterfingers)
  7. My door sticking
  8. Having large pimples
  9. Accidentally closing an incognito window
  10. The noise my work email makes
  11. Ghost buses/trains
  12. Standing in a line that is moving slowly
  13. Not finding something on a menu I like
  14. Losing my train of thought
  15. Being stuffed up

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...
