I don't much like Walmart...and have for the most part done my best to avoid the ruddy place since it opened in Regina. Stupidheads I say...very very big stupidheads. Ha ha, lately I've been trying to do my best to really not shop anywhere. In part cause I have very few monies at the moment, but also cause I'm in need of saving them. On top of all that, the stuff I really want, I can't even get here.

On line purchases are the bane of my existance, but that's the only place I seem to be able to find things that make me happy, and that I use until they really cannot be used any more.

Le sigh...I wish I could get my greedy little hands on Asian letter sets in a far easier manner than I am currently able tofrown

sunkist_sudafed and I met with a midwife to discuss having a homebirth. It's the first time I am actually excited about the entire labor and delivery process instead of mortified. To be able to stay at home with my baby and endure the entire process complete natural will be wonderful, liberating, and humbling!

Oh another note, I'm at home and feel complete disrepected. They'll cook...

ah, you're a sweetie for saying that, and a flatterer, but it's totally untrue. I'm just a guy with a camera. It takes talent to be a good mom, which I can tell you are going to be!

I haven't slept all week & I only stomach food because I know the baby needs it. I'm stumbling around these empty rooms like drunken clowns who refuse to leave the bar. Through sopping green eyes, I saw my reflection beneath this dripping freckled skin & it looked so tattered like my favorite purple jacket I grew out of years ago. I searched this place...

Hey baby, you were having fun when you took that picture I think.

Well, we usually have fun whenever we hang out at the dump lol.

Breathe soft and deep. It's gonna be OK and I'll be home soon.
This doesn't mean there is no chance, just not right now.

There is an un-easy, nauseating feeling flinging off my ribs, erupting against this intolerant flesh. I'm running on drained and that bleak red warning light is hysterically flashing. All I require is an out of gas halt; a rest stop on a solitary, vacant, dirt path to numb myself, as an old cassette player systematically serenades me while I dream. This isn't supposed to happen...

I can well imagine that nipple rings would be a problem for breast feeding. What might cause the emergency surgery?
rpg:
ah. I understand now. and I think that sometimes the medical profession does make rapid assumptions without the facts. I suppose that you'd want them to be able to act quickly if you're being wheeled into emergency and you're under duress/pain/etc, but .....nipple rings?

Some things I wil NOT miss about my job:

-My supervisor cranking his shitty hip hop music for the entire room to hear - this makes me really fucking irritable!!!!

-The idiocrity and laziness of people... i.e. when there is a HUGE fucking sign on the door that says "KEEP THIS DOOR CLOSED!" and I'm constantly closing it because apparently some people are blind &...
