15 thoughts on SIX

I saw this about a week ago and here are some thoughts! 

  1. The show made me want to learn more about all the ladies (which was its clear goal, so well done!)
  2. The song that stood out to me most in the production I saw was "Heart of Stone"
  3. The song I've listened to the most from the soundtrack (recorded by another cast) is the finale "Six"
  4. I think including the song "Haus of Holbein" was smart to bring the energy up after the incredible, but slower song "Heart of Stone"
  5. While I had my favorite songs, I have now listened to the soundtrack as a whole on repeat
  6. I'm impressed that the actresses are on stage almost the entire time (really they only leave for mere seconds or so it felt)
  7. I am considering being one of the ladies for Halloween and/or C2E2
  8. I love that this is a musical that makes history tantalizing 
  9. I fully support the choice to not have Henry as a speaking or even seen role
  10. Having the band on stage was a fun touch
  11. The show made me wonder if I could write a play about history (maybe a goofy one about the US Camel Corps--one of my favorite odd bits of history)
  12. I appreciated that while it was a shorter show, all of the ladies got their chance to shine and garner attention
  13. The lighting was cleverly done (especially when used to emphasize the beheadings)
  14. The costumes were dynamic and delightful
  15. I wish they were selling merch (now I must go on Etsy--gasp!)

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...
