Before you know it, you will just know what each particular cry means.
Promise? It's normal to feel completely unprepared at this point in pregnancy, right?
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Traditionally one feels completely unprepared when you arrive back at home from the hospital with a new baby: "Why did they let us leave with a baby? We've never done this before!"

From what I've heard, if you felt prepared, you'd be deluding yourself.

So, are you saying it's too early for me to feel this unprepared?
In less panicked news our friend K will be putting the dragon decals up in the nursery on Saturday! Both grandmothers to be are perplexed about why we're putting up dragons in a baby girl's room.

I'm saying you are exactly the right amount of unprepared.

Feeling unprepared comes with the territory. You're doing fine.

Thanks, everyone. I've been getting a lot of strange looks from people (strangers) when I mention my pregnancy, like they're surprised and they aren't sure whether they should be congratulating me or apologizing to me. I'm assuming it's a disability thing because I'm quite obviously very pregnant at this point, but it's making me uncomfortable and probably more insecure about everything than I should be.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
eirka, you aren't wrong about Deray. That man has some serious discipline.
Whereas I accidentally clicked post on a tweet I'd meant to delete. It was one of the snarky ones - I usually read 'em to Daniel then delete and reform a more rational reply. As snark goes, it'll hardly flay the target alive. But Daniel said, "Don't worry about it. No one will notice. It's just the internet." Isn't that like saying "What could go wrong?"

Thrive to spite them
I made it through almost 2 hours of my 4 hour shift and had to come home because of anxiety.
I'm pretty sure I know why. And it's a combination of factors that I'll have to deal with. Well one I won't they redid our store and it was a mess and disorganized in the back and that was an issue and I'm hot. If work in the warehouse I have to figure out something to keep cool.
I feel like I failed. I also feel like I did this on purpose to prove to my therapist I 'm not ready for 3 days of work even though she suggested it and didn't push it.
I wish I had skills to do some job with minimal interaction with people.

Why do places put contact forms on their websites if they don't actually use them? There are two moving companies that have "Click here for a free quote" things on their websites, and you click there and put in your name and contact information and other stuff, and I did both of them on Monday, and neither got back to me. I just called one of them, and they seemed to have no idea that their website even had a page that did that.
