Congratulations, Kate P.! But I'm sorry you're not able to do this in the place that feels like home and has the support that might help things go more smoothly.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm so happy for you, Kate! Even feeling sick and a little scared and all that, I wouldn't wish that part on you, but on balance WOO!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
A lot of what you're feeling can probably be blamed on hormones, or at least the degree to which you're feeling them, but I totally get how hard it can be.
Yeah. I don't usually cry this much, but there's been a lot of crying this past week or so. I feel like I now have a better sense of what it's like for clinically depressed people, in the sense that I can point to a physical/chemical/biological reason for the intensity of my emotions, but that doesn't actually lessen the way they feel or their impact on me.
And thanks for all the congratulations, everyone! We really are thrilled and excited, just also, you know, freaked out.

Excellent! I wonder how old they have to be before they can be really useful minions. 18 months, maybe?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
KATE! So exciting and scary! I hear kids are a decent way to build community, too, if you're lucky.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Congratulations, Kate!!
