I survived today. According to my sleep tracker app, I woke up four times during the night. At least three of those were because of the pain. I got through work, then went to services, which was nice, though still up a bunch of stairs. But they're moving to a new location soon. And the person who runs it said that she was thinking of me, and about what it means to be a welcoming community, when they were looking for a new Shabbat space, and they made sure to find somewhere accessible.
Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

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

Your exam~ma is powerful, thank you - I passed my statistics final with better grade than expected! Now waiting to hear about calculus (hoping yet doubtful to see if I've passed) and then I'll know to how many exams I'll have to study in the next two weeks.

I don't understand how people manage to have kids. I'm exhausted just taking care of myself.

The emotional labor involved in being Tim's wife is fucking ridiculous. I can't imagine having kids on top of this.
(I love him, and our life together, so SO much. But Jesus Christ, the emotional labor. At least Miss Moneypenny earned a salary.)
t edit Argh, I don't want that to come across like I'm one-upping you, Hil. I really am not. It was just my "shit no, I can't imagine having kids, either" reaction. I admire the shit out of parents.

Heh. Scola got to watch me give New Parent Advice to a pair of new parents at the cafe. They were clearly besotted with their six-day old babe, but also kind of drunkenly sleep deprived.

I literally slept all day on Saturday, and had to force myself to get up on Sunday. I always wanted kids. I'm pretty sure I don't actually have the energy to have them.

I'd honestly be so screwed without TCG. ltc was actually a ridiculously easy infant, but she is an exhausting preschooler. When I see how little so many of the fathers I know do (not here but in meatspace), and the fact that he just expects to do those things with my having to say anything, I know I got extremely lucky in the spouse department.

One of my friends is a professor, and she's single, and she had two kids with a sperm donor. Her mother lives with her and helps a lot with the kids, but her mother is older and has some mobility issues, and I really have no idea how they do it.

Hil, just the fertility treatments alone. I don't know how anyone does that without a ton of emotional support.
So many of the other parents at ltc's school have 3 or 4 kids (and often the one ltc's age is the oldest of these families), and I have no clue how they do it.
