Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Luckily (ish), I've been taking Omega-3 stuff because it has been found that one of the things it builds up is seratonin. I've been taking it with my Happy Brain Pills (tm) so, if I ever have another baby, I'll already be used to is (ish).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Eee! Eee! I apparently made it to the next round of interviews, although they haven't had a formal conversation about it. Next round = rest of the department, including the direct report, who is in CA. Wheeee!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Congrats, Jesse!

I was taking Omega 3 for a non babymaking reason, but I never burped fishy. I don't know if it was a me thing, or a brand thing.

But my day still sucks because I got soda instead of soup with my chinese food lunch. Lame!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

So the whole Omega thing -- can you avoid the pills if you just eat lots and lots of fish? I would think that would be the thing to try.

Unless pregnant people aren't allowed to eat fish! I know there was a thing about mercury at one point, but, let's just say it's a good thing I"m not the chef at the maternity ward. Too many rules.

I've never had a fishy thing, but I've been taking flax seed capsules as my omega 3 source.

There are types of fish that pregnant woman are supposed to avoid/eat minimally. But I am not sure what they are.

Everyone's supposed to watch their tuna intake now, aren't we?

Me too, on all counts. Though not all Omega 3s are fish oil; there's also flax and some other kind. (I get mine at Trader Joe's, and the label says something like EFA [essential fatty acids, I assume]).

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

YAY Jesse!
