Y’know what I’ve learned? Sometimes, living your best life means taking an accidental nap, waking up only realize you are not in any position to deal with getting ready and being late to an event you were SUPPOSED to go to, and then deciding to instead eat peanut butter sandwiches and watch cartoons in your girlfriends hotel room.
So, what’s everyone else doing with themselves recently? Feel like my life has been revolving a little too much around taking care of Darcy…
I can relate to not wanting to get out of bed and cartoons ever minute of every day. All I do is work these days, which is rewarding in itself.
I am going to start by clarifying that yes, I know I’m a dork, BUT! One of my girlfriends bought us matching Corgi butt leggings and they’re the best fucking thing EVER!
And no, Darcy. I don’t care if they’re not fashionable, they’re cute!
Note to self: Don’t kiss your sick girlfriend unless you can afford to get sick. And maybe if you do get sick, give yourself a break, so you don’t develop severe pneumonia. A hospital gown is a fashion statement I never want to make again.
Glad you’re doing better now, being sick is not ideal. Not with this damn virus going around, I’ve been handing out complimentary face masks at work for those who want it. Also, if people are sick I tell them to stay the fuck home.
I knew being a mom was going to be a lot of work, but fuck, I did not think that on top of a job search I’d be this busy…Thank all the gods that my wife’s best friend is around right now. I feel like you never know how relaxing something as mundane as grocery shopping can be until you don’t have your children with you…
So… How is everyone else?
I feel you on that one, motherhood is a lot of work. I remember what it was like when left him for the first time to do something- I was a mess but it felt good at the same time.
I know I’ve been very much on the quiet side of things but I promise you, very soon, things are going to get a little bit louder. For now though, here’s a little friendly advice, if there’s something in life that you want, don’t let go.
Love the new song, by the way, consider your agent impressed.
I’ve lived in the states a fair few years now, on and off, anyways. I’ve seen a few Super Bowls and usually enjoy the excuse to drink. This Super Bowl, I’m still watching and I’m pretty sure Cairán has decided that he’s single handedly going to remove at least one of my nipples before he’s able to sit up by himself. I had a point…oh yeah. What the actual fuck is up with you, Yanks? Seriously?! I’ve been shot at and still kept going. I streamed the France vs. England game this morning, shock horror, the French won. All these rugby players getting theirs asses handed to them in so many ways and they keep getting back up and going back for me. You guys take one hit and you’re all curled up on the ground crying, what gives?!
Men are big babies... I agree.
I can also relate to the nipple loss, damn kid nearly ripped them off. Soon as he started cutting teeth, I began to ween him off. I do not miss breastfeeding.
OK, I can’t be the only one that’s spent most of today dancing to Sexy Dirty Love, right?
So, so, so proud of my baby @blessyourheartdharps all her hard work is paying off and people will finally know what I’ve always known, and that is that she’s incredible! I’m so excited for her album and I can’t wait for the day I get to take our son to see his Mommy do what she does best, but maybe I’ll bring some earplugs for this song…
Ain’t the only one, Maya. Damn that song is fire...
Yeah, that’s kinda the point, because once it’s all to the surface you can work through it and work past it. Therapy isn’t supposed to be fun, Santana. It’s not gonna be easy but it is going to be worth it. I’ll still want to be around you, there’s nothing you can actually do to get rid of me, at this point.
He might be an idiot, but he’s a good man. at least when it counts. Very few people know. Puck and Elle know because it’s hard to hide when you spend enough time together. My mom and Flora know because family and Flora worked as a pharmacist so when I was looking for info about what I was being prescribed I went to her. And then, Maya knows because she did my PT and still kind of does.
Yeah, I was warned I may never not feel pain, both in my legs and my back. Which wasn’t surprising, spinal damage and all that. Originally, I could push through it and keep going. It wasn’t all that bad. And then I realized I was losing strength in my left leg and it hurt more than it had before. I was starting to favor my right side and nothing I did on my own helped, if anything, I made the pain worse. So, I got it checked out. I started PT again, which was probably for the best, since it helps keep other things in check that I didn’t realize got worse when the pain did.
Apparently I’m liable to lose full function of my left leg in time, even with PT. The doctors think I pushed too hard right after the accident, trying to get up and get moving and particularly competing. And as much as I wouldn’t trade wining Nationals for the world, I really fucked myself up by going. I actually have a limp, when I’m not actively putting in the work to walk normally. Which is probably doing more harm than good, but until I can’t do it anymore I doubt I’ll stop.
Private:
I’ll think about it.
Jesus, Quinn. I won’t sit here and preach about taking care of yourself. It would be a double standard since I’m shit at taking care of myself. I just wish you would have told me, I wish I would have known. I guess we all have our own secrets and pain.
Just hang in there, I don’t want you to hurt yourself more and land back in that wheelchair.
Dylan was sitting on the floor playing with his trucks. He had been a little grumpy today and upset but he was still having a hard time. Santana knew something had to be done, things needed to be addressed. She sent a second tweet saying she was going live in just a few minutes. She grabbed some tea, juice, and a few cookies. She waved her hand over at Dylan and signed cookies and juice, which he smiled and skipped over to the desk with her. She put her hair up in a messy bun and set up the tripod and prepared herself.
Opening up the live she sips her tea and watched her viewer count climb. “Just waiting for more people to arrive. I also will be posting this to my other social media, so if people can’t make the live they can see it later. Also, feel free to ask questions on twitter and I will answer them here.” Questions started to flood in and most of them were asking about Dylan, “Yep, he’s right here.” Santana lifted Dylan up on her lap and tells him to say hello. He signed hello to the camera and shoved a cookie into his mouth. “He’s a bit grumpy, didn’t get his nap today. So, I’m going to send him off to play.” She signed for him to finish snacks at his table and he left.
When the count was at a few hundred thousand she started.
“Okay, tea time.” Taking a breath she sighed and took another sip. “The main point of this live is to set the record straight about my relationship with Rachel. We started dating after Brittany and I broke up, she had nothing to do with my relationship ending. She didn’t break up a happy home, she didn’t steal me from Brittany- it wasn’t like that.
‘Is the divorce real?!?!?’
‘Is this publicity for Rachel’s new song?’
‘HOMEWRECKER!!!!!’
‘Poor Brittany, how could you!’
A lot of the comments were like that and it only made Santana roll her eyes.
“Guys, the divorce is happening. Currently, we are separated and the next step is divorce. Second, this is not a publicity ploy for the new song. I don’t need to fake a relationship for publicity, get real. Last, I didn’t walk out on us she did. She felt like she was alone all the time, she couldn’t handle my work hours. HBIC takes up a lot of my time, It’s a brand new business and it needs to be nurtured, so it can expand and grow. It’s my livelihood and it put money in my bank account. With this being said, please do not go and attack her social media. I don’t want anyone to cause her any grief or anxiety over this.”
Santana answered a few more questions before ending the live stream. Sending a message to one of her own to get the video of the live posted on her social’s. She spent some time with Dylan and talked to him more.
“I know things are hard bud, I know you’re sad but I promise everything will be okay.”
“Want mommy B.” Dylan hugged Santana and cried, she rocked him and made a call to Brittany for him.

This little guy has changed my world and I thank god for him every day. I woke up this morning with this little guy cuddling next to me. He made me a card at daycare and just brightened my morning. I wouldn’t trade days like this for the world, where I can just spend them in bed with my guy. However, Mama has plans and so does this dude. Off to daycare for his valentine’s day party, bought about six dozen cupcakes and treats for the kids. I know my boy won’t see this but I’m just going to put it into the universe. Happy Valentine’s day, D-dawg, Mami loves you forever and always. I will always be here for you, I will never leave you and I will support you no matter who you are. #Valentinesday #VDay #mothersLove #AsLongAsImLivingMyBabyYoullBe
Ziv: Yeah... I did things today I didn't remember I could do...
Ziv: Thank you, seriously, this means more than you know.
Ziv: Nothing for me, so shouldn't be too terrible for you, but my staff don't all have the backbones needed to deal with them, which is something that comes with time.
Ziv: I think my girlfriends have me covered, but if I think of anything else, I'll let you know, for sure.
Santana: Don't worry, I got you.
Santana: I can handle most people- question is will they be able to handle me? Ha.
Santana: Okay, send over the files and I'll get started.
Ziv: So, don't know if you've seen the news, but shit's happened, and I can't balance the coming storm and all of my clients.
Ziv: Some of them are more of a handful than others and they're already driving the people I've assigned to them crazy.
Ziv: They were cases I was gonna take on personally, but I can't handle all of them. It'd be one or two of them, even if you can't take them fully, I just need the extra hands for like a month or two, until all this is hashed out in court.
Santana: I did see the news.
Santana: I'll take them on, I'll set them straight for you while I'm at it.
Santana: How much of a handful are they?
Santana: If you need anything, let me know. I'll do what I can to help.
