SmartWool socks are freaking magical. Hope they keep you warm in the mean WI winter!

Me, too!  I specifically asked for them; I had a few pairs already and I love them.  The patterns are cute, too.

LOL oh dear ... well Fiestaware is ... umm ... festive?

It is!  I should note that I wasn't being sarcastic about the excitement; I love dishes (and basically all kitchen shit, honestly), too, and we noticed some specific gaps in our servingware collection at Thanksgiving that these gifts addressed.

On a meta note, oh my GOD I am glad to be back at home with my desktop running X-Kit.  The Tumblr app is SO TERRIBLE.

Those are so pretty! Well played, BIL!

Full disclosure: They were on my wish list.  But he chose wisely!  I actually ordered the matching pendant as a gift for someone else, and it will be difficult now not to keep it for myself. :p

Lovely.

Thank you!  I've always loved pressed flowers.  I have some fancy sticker seals with pressed flowers preserved between layers of clear acrylic that I used to love using on physical correspondence.

*hug if it's welcome* Jeeeez. I hope the rest of your day sucks less! Also that you have some peace & quiet or whatever will be soothing/grounding for you.

Thanks. <3  I got super nauseated in a pre-migraine-y way around 11:30, but I took some meds and that seems to have arrested any further migraine development.  I had a meeting at noon and was thinking I'd go home after, but instead I had a nice long distracting chat with a new co-worker/colleague and now I am drinking tea and stuffing myself with free cake from the department lounge.  It is better.

it's good to have a plan, and a trusted friend to uphold the plan. You may need to sign waivers..Maybe bring the Dr. a bad christmas sweater to wear?

We have a birth plan, which I'll be updating before my next OB appointment in January.  We also have a doula, and the FP I just switched to was recommended by her (and specifically asked this week if we could go over my birth plan at my January appointment without me bringing it up).  I'm not sure why "no white coats" would require a waiver, since doctors often work in scrubs sans white coat.  Anyway, I am fairly confident that the team we've assembled will respect this directive, now that I've figured out it should probably be issued.  (Not being confident that some random OB would even attempt to not re-traumatize me is the major reason I switched to an FP.)
