15 holidays I could send cards for, part 1

I am always looking for excuses to send cards. Many of these were found on the National Day Calendar website

  1. New Year's Day (yes, I will have just sent cards for Christmas and Chanukah, but who cares?)
  2. National Spaghetti Day (it's apparently January 4th and I could send out my dad's tuna spaghetti recipe)
  3. National Cheese Lovers Day (it me, also it's apparently January 20th)
  4. National Compliment Day (send everyone a compliment in the mail!, also it's apparently January 24th)
  5. Ground Hog Day (this is just funny to me)
  6. National Send a Card to a Friend Day (a little on the nose, but it's apparently on February 7th)
  7. Galentine's Day (I do send Valentines, but maybe my gal pals can get special cards on February 13th)
  8. National Random Act of Kindness Day (Similar idea to National Compliment Day, but it's apparently on February 17th)
  9. National Love Your Pet Day (I could send photos of Hoban, also it's apparently on February 20th)
  10. National Barbie Day (I just want to say hi to all my Barbies, also it's apparently on March 9th)
  11. Pi Day (celebrate pi and pie at the same time!)
  12. St. Patrick's Day (Ireland has a special place in my heart after all)
  13. National Memory Day (I could send cards with a favorite memory of someone, also it's apparently March 21st)
  14. National Fragrance Day (I could get scented cards, also it's also apparently March 21st)
  15. National Puppy Day (who doesn't want a card with a cute puppy on it? Also, it's apparently March 23rd)

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...
