15 thoughts on my 2,000th post

Happy 2K!

  1. I think I've made this blog more personal as time goes on
  2. I need more prompts (both listicles and ones that may lead to a piece I'd like to publish)
  3. I'm proud of keeping this going even though it's been a while since I felt truly inspired
  4. I hope some people like the D&D content I put on here (if not, oh well, it helps me)
  5. The balance of listicle post vs non-listicle post helps me keep pace
  6. Doing a few reality TV show reviews helps me pay more attention to what I'm watching and give myself a break when I need it
  7. I want to write more publishable (beyond this blog) content
  8. I want to engage my audience more (not that it's large, but still)
  9. Would people be interested in seeing my photography?
  10. Should I try my hand at more poetry?
  11. I recently uncovered even older works of mine; would people be interested in reading them?
  12. I think I might try doing some more posts where I have to do historical research so I can learn more
  13. Maybe I'll try a MadLibs post (I'll write the page, delete the words, solicit the missing words, then post the completed MadLib alone)
  14. I might work more writing (not necessarily for this blog) into my therapy
  15. I appreciate you all for reading!

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...
