Just finished The Rehearsal and I am EMOTIONAL

The tears in my eyes when I dug out my fafsa login and realized that I did indeed recieve a pell grant -- actually feels like a miracle to have 14k forgiven all of a sudden.

After 21 months I am feeling ready to wean but my baby is showing NO signs of self weaning. Is there like a weaning fairy that can come do it for me? 😭🧚🏻‍♀️ too hard to have to orchestrate these big emotional changes yourself!

Was reading stuff about Susan Sontag this morning so obviously I’m now *in my feelings*

Tommy is also in his feelings, but not about Susan Sontag (I assume)

I don’t want to play with dump trucks, I want to read the collected poems of May Sarton!

onbeing.org/blog/a-happeni… this essay is so good

tracy k smith once told me I should strive to end poems by opening a door outward not closing one and now it happily haunts every poem I try to write

May Sarton

Cannot overstate how stressful it is to be pregnant and trying to find affordable health insurance through the marketplace, especially as someone self-employed. 😩 every option is bad!!!

my child is in that bag, being swung to and fro

hmm, I was pregnant for the first time when there was no data about how covid affected gestating babies, so literally never left my house, SO CHILL, NO TRAUMA FROM THAT

So looking forward to this!
