Jez I have sleep apnea but haven’t been using my CPAP since college cuz I’m too lazy to even set it up (my executive function is at an all time low lol). I’m not aware of any other sleep disorder. Sleep apnea is just supposed to make you tired all the time, not keep you up for 24 hours straight then make you sleep for 12-14. Idk. Not at all out of turn, don’t ever worry about asking questions! Speaking of this issue, I woke up at dinner time and I’ve been up ever since. I meant to go to bed but it didn’t happen. I’m gonna try to stay up all day to avoid a repeat of yesterday. If I take my bupropion soon and maybe have some coffee, I’ll survive!
Kit those people on the internet are ridiculous. You may recall that I’m pretty liberal, but I’m 100% for gender reveal parties, and I plan to have ones for my future kids. There’s nothing wrong with raising a kid to match their genitalia, and the vast majority of people are the same in the head as they are in their pants. As long as you don’t disallow anything because it’s not girly enough or not manly enough and you let them be a kid, who cares? You can raise your kid without extreme gender stereotypes without stripping them of their gender identity. No need to pretend they don’t have a gender. Will I dress my daughter in pink? Absolutely. Does that mean I’m oppressing her? Of course not. If my daughter told me she hated pink, I wouldn’t force her to wear it. If she told me she was a boy, I would listen without rushing into anything. Maybe it’s a phase, maybe not. Give it time. I recently read something from a trans women saying anyone who does gender reveal parties would reject a trans child. I vehemently disagree. It’s ridiculous to assume that someone who is excited to share the gender of their child would kick out their kid for saying “hey actually...”. It really upset me that they would think I would reject my kid just because I want a gender reveal. I commented this, and they basically told me that I was wrong and I had no right to comment because I’m cisgender and therefore don’t get to defend myself. Lovely. I hate when people do that. Drives me nuts.
Okay that’s really long so to summarize, don’t worry about what people on the internet say. If you want a gender reveal, go for it. There’s NOTHING wrong with that.
Gigs Girl Scouts sucked for me too haha, we just used hot glue guns the whole time basically, it was stupid. We didn’t go camping once. I totally wish it was more like Boy Scouts. I get both sides of the issue tbh, and I’m not 100% on either side. I do wish there was a plain old “Scouts” that was as popular as Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts that could be unisex so they didn’t have to change Boy Scouts, because it feels wrong to invade haha, but since there isn’t one I kinda understand wanting to be able to learn all the cool wilderness stuff. People say they should reform Girl Scouts, and I kinda agree, but it’s easier said than done. A lot of it was under the control of the troop leader. Pretty sure it’s still the same today as it was when you were in it. Anyway, it’s a complicated issue, and like I said, I see both sides of the issue
I would get a job off campus, but with the classes I’ll be taking, it would be better to do an on-campus job. They’re generally way more accommodating with hours, based on your class schedule etc cuz they only work with the students. My only concern is that if I get this classroom work study, I’ll have to work Friday mornings. I did less drinking first semester because of that, but second semester when I wasnt working mornings anymore (schedule didn’t fit with that work study anymore) it picked up a bit, and I do worry that if I drink a lot Thursday night I won’t be safe to drive until later Friday morning. I never feel drunk when I wake up, but it’s not that easy to tell I feel like. Last semester I didn’t drive until afternoon if I got drunk the night before, just in case. Idk. I can always just drink Friday or Saturday nights instead so that’s not an issue. My friends won’t be on campus anymore anyway so it’s less likely that I’d be getting drunk on a Thursday night. One of my two friends actually dropped out (makes me really sad cuz we were gonna have clinical together, but she’s been struggling mentally after the miscarriage and with depression so I understand, she plans to come back in a year, it’s just a break) and the other isn’t in nursing and has classes fridays, so she couldn’t stay up late Thursday nights.
The fact that I’m worried about job scheduling because of my drinking might be a slight concern...
nah it’s fine, I can choose not to drink. I just don’t like to stop once I start (my friend cut me off last time whoops), but I don’t drink more than twice a week, usually only once, and this summer it’s been like once a month lol. Plus I don’t drink hard liquor at this point, just wine and mikes and Smirnoff ice. I might get into it eventually, but at this point I’m good with my jumbo bottle of pink moscato.
; anyone who is coming is going to be excited 
i also went through a stage I kind of wanted to be a boy, or at least do boy things. I'm sure it stemmed from having older brothers, but I was SUPER jealous of Boy Scouts! I really wanted to join because they did way cooler things than girlscouts, like camping with tents (we had cabins), building fires (we weren't allowed), carrying knives (again, not allowed). I understand there is some controversy over letting girls into Boy Scouts now but I don't agree with that anyway. They just need to improve the skills the give the ladies! 
deprived as a child! I think because my mum had 3 girls she couldnt of afforded to send us all.. miffs me really! I def dont want that happening with ours growing up.. 
i just think, if they hungry they’ll eat even in attempting to shove bits n pieces in their mouths lol
Hottest uk long summer since 1976! I am looking forward to cooler weather but no doubt il moan about it
