It's probably worth at least asking. December is a long time away.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
First therapy appointment in less than 8 hours (which is too damn early for me). (Yeah, 3 years of working from home has ruined me for normal human hours. I admit it.)

What is even happening?
Thanks, Cindy. I wish it was that easy. I had a pretty good week last week and yesterday. Today is horrible. I'm exhausted and miserable. I had to force myself into the shower while ltc slept because I have friends coming over, but I really just wanted to nap. I wish I knew what is different about today.
sj, I think it comes down to the same (good) advice I got before my wedding. Every day, take a mental snapshot of ltc and your family. It goes so fast, you won't believe it.
I'm only saying that because my youngest is a high school junior, my daughter is a h.s. senior, and my oldest is a college junior. I don't know how we got here.
That said, I am not in any way invalidating your exhaustion. I have been where you are. I'm just saying (1) it gets better, and (2) you will miss it.
Nap when that baby does. You can catch up, later.

Good luck, Teppy. I hope it goes well. My appointment on Thursday is at 10 which is too damn early for me. By the time I get ltc up and feed her and myself showered and dressed, I'll probably be rushing.

Cindy, I already feel it is going to fast. The first year flew by, and now we're already a month into her second year. The days are long, but the months go by fast. I just wish my body and mind would allow me to enjoy it more.

In a perfect world, normal human hours means awaking at 10, reading the iPad until 11, having a 2nd cup of coffee and a shower, then leaving the house at 12.

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.
Ha, I don't usually leave until after 1. Of course, I get home after 10.

The status is NOT quo.
I just tried really hard to like Vortex's post.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Holy shit I can't believe I'm awake. I am in awe of everyone who is up this early on the regular.
When the alarm went off I was dreaming that I worked at a crappy grocery store and I couldn't get my employee badge to work in the time clock, and I knew my boss -- Jason Momoa -- would be mad at me.
The only reason I even shared that was the Jason Momoa part. Because that was both weird and amusing.
I'm attempting to drink more coffee than a human being should, and then go battle traffic.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
So while I'm driving, the therapist calls to tell me she might be a little late because her son's bus was late and she's coming from Ohio. I told her I was coming from Ohio and it was clear, but maybe not where she's coming from.
I am not making this up: she said "I'm coming from Northside."
