I haven’t even had the baby yet! :)

May you both enjoy long and prosperous existences.

Pure silliness as the final parting words....love it! Such an excellent idea and a beautiful gesture on his part. Thanks for that suggestion!

Before I got to your comment I posted mine in another commenter’s response, above, below, wherever kinja will place it.

YALL. I took the Ohio bar exam this week. It was 100% one of the most exhausting things I’ve ever done but I did the damn thing. Likely gonna fail because I barely studied (have posted before about getting dumped by my partner and having to move out in June so it was a rough summer). But I did it, I have the…

Ah I missed this going up! So since I missed last week completely, just a note, for those who know me here and might be looking, to say I’m doing mostly fine and kicky lil foetus is doing great. 

I recognize that virtually everyone loves The Handmaid’s Tale, but I cannot bring myself to watch it because, based on what very little I know, it sounds incredibly unpleasant. I have more than enough unpleasant anxiety from Trump, et al. I cannot willingly seek out more. 

Oh wow I read the whole thing assuming the baby would come too?? Why would the baby not come too?? And it’s not weird to be cagey about leaving your baby, even if baby was older. (It’s also not weird to be perfectly content to go on a short holiday without your baby, especially as baby gets older. My parents went away…

My mom is in the progress of getting this kind of thing done. She knows what she wants done (and even has the funeral home for her all-inclusive cremation picked out), but I don’t think anything’s in writing yet. And I can just imagine one of her sisters stepping in, overriding me, and having a semi-lavish funeral…

A month ago today, we had our first ever fox attack on our flock. If it weren’t for this badass hen that acted like a rooster and went all chicken ninja on the fox to wake us up and get to our deck(where the fox had her in his mouth), we could have lost so many.

I love test cricket. I’m also Australian so was prepared for failure. Smith is going well, but much to my delight Dave Warner is failing. I loathe that thug

Your kitties look quite contented. Good on them - and you!

This is a weird thing to be congratulating you on but nevertheless I say well done you. I have been through the heartbreaking ball ache of sorting through a dearly loved person’s worldly possessions several times in the last few years, some of them had done more planning than others but it can be a total nightmare. I…

The trip sounds wonderful, hiking and museums and food = heaven in my book! The very near future where you don’t feel like your nether regions are trying to kill you also sounds excellent...I hope that, even by tomorrow, you’re feeling right as rain. That’s the kind of miracle I want to believe in!

Short-term, I'm getting over a nasty UTI, so I'm looking forward to not thinking about my urine. Longer-term, I have six days in Cleveland over Labor Day at the end of the month, so I'm looking forward to the break and change of environment, plus all the hiking and museums and food.

Love your hair my friend. And Masie is adorable. And Disney so exciting ❤️

Peri-menopause is fucking with me. No period for three months. Then the prom scene from Carrie for three days, then nothing, as if a tap was turned off

Pete is a ferocious predator.

Hi kittens! It’s hella hot here. August always kind of sucks, because it feels like the end of summer and the days are shorter. However, I get to actually enjoy autumn this year! The best sunny, milder part of fall days is when we’re all at work, and I’m still on sick leave, so those days are going to be lovely. No…

We lost my great-aunt this week. She was 98 and an absolute badass woman. Mind like a steel trap, filled with so much knowledge! I’m gonna miss our chats. My mam is gutted; Aunty was like a second mother to her. But at least Aunty and her brothers and sisters are all together again - and talking like absolute crazy,…
