I have this guilty nugget too that is the companion to all of the envy I feel when people carry twins to close to full term or when my friends have easy pregnancies.
Everyone's getting spanked but me.

I'm always so surprised when I know someone who manages to carry twins to term (or close to--one of my friends posted tonight she's at 36 weeks. And she's 4'10 and huuuuuge). And then I just wonder how anyone has ever done triplets, much less higher numbers. My god.
I can see how it would be totally triggering for you, Kat. But you are great for knowing how to help them and being able/willing. Go you.

Now tagless for your comfort.
kat, even full term (and overdue) the two of us nearly killed my mom. Her stubbornness, strength and resiliency are things I have found, and admire, in most twin moms.
ita, good luck with the job!
I have found some small luck freelancing for the local newspapers and it suits me. I have actually been getting paid to write. Not a lot, but enough to make it worth my while.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have actually been getting paid to write.
Not a lot, but enough to make it worth your while, psychologically, amiirite?.
That's nice and validating. Even if it's not the job, it's a good 'a' job.
AS for me, test plans are to collect all the letters, an then go in for the tests next week. /I'll be on the low end of dilaudid, but it could be present. And ask for a treatment right before i start work...

I had a fare buy me a fancy cookie when I stopped for her to pick up stuff at a bakery. I don't generally get tipped, so there was a lot of thanks from me.
Fwiw, I've heard that a lot of drug tests aren't accurate, so here's hoping that actually works in your favor.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I'm trying to convince my white and orange cat that copious shedding on my black interview suit will not help my chances. He's unconvinced. I'm actually at a point where I'm enjoying the whole suit, makeup, nylons thing. Ancient Levis with holes worn through on the inner thighs have lost their charm.
Anyway, my interview's in 54 minutes. Any job~ma available would be appreciated, please.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Good luck Calli!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I hope it went well, Calli.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Kick ass, Calli!
