How The Zero Weeks Of Paid Maternity Leave In The U.S. Compare Globally
Why is the US so fucked up and backwards?
Weird dreaming…
This dream better not be the start of a long line of baby dreams:
I drove over to the house I used to live in in Hadley because I’d heard my former landlady was “hosting an adoption”. Turns out, it wasn’t for puppies or kittens— it was for adopting human babies.
Long dream short, I ended up falling in love with a 9-month-old set of triplets. Two girls and a boy. The little boy and I bonded especially well, and in a strange ceremony in my old living room, he became my son.
And then? I drove immediately to CVS with my new baby to buy him anything a baby could need.
The urgency to care for this child, whose given name was Tristan by the way, felt so very real. In the dream I could feel his weight and the way he wiggled and could recognize his different coos. I started feeling very strongly for him and actually woke myself up crying a little, only to fall back to sleep without noticing I was dreaming.
I brought him to my apartment and laid him on my bed next to me and sang him to sleep. I think by this point you can imagine the dread I felt when I woke up this morning without the baby I loved next to me. It took me a few minutes to cope with the idea that none of it was real. It was a very sad morning.
Please, please do not be the start of a series of baby dreams!
Got this email from a job candidate who I brought in to an interview today. She was so sweet.
Hi Katie,
It was very nice meeting you this morning. Thank you very much for your assistance with the interview. Your smile relaxed me a lot and helped me with my interview performance.
I hope I can see you again in the future.
Have a nice day.

My Joan Holloway-ish dress. I’m standing awkwardly because… I don’t know why.
Anonymous asked: I just wanted to let you know that you are quite beautiful. Smile for me even if just for a second, but most of all, smile for you. I hope you have a great tear-free day. <3
Thank you stranger! I smiled when I read this, just so you know.
Desperately applying to jobs everywhere.
Cried twice in the bathroom at work.
I can’t work these jobs anymore. THIS IS WHY I WENT BACK AND FINISHED MY DEGREE.
