A romantic overture

Adventures in breastfeeding: I have a blocked milk duct. It's about as fun as it sounds! It's not serious, just uncomfortable. I think about talking about breastfeeding and how my boobs have changed and how my perception of them has changed, but then I'm not really sure anyone wants to hear that much about my boobs.

Certainly no one wants to hear about the soap opera drama that is my relationship with my parents right now. They're behaving like the worst tales on Captain Awkward, and the stress from it is exhausting me daily, to the point where I'm considering halting communicating with them at all for a few months. I don't know, it all sounds very adult, and yet I feel like such a helpless kid.

I finished the newest season of Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries and OMG THEY KISSED!!!!!

I am so thoroughly invested in Jack and Miss Fisher and how she is always exactly who she is and he adores her for that. I'm also over the moon about Dot and how much she's grown, and how, at each turn, she encounters a conflict and resolves it in a way so that she can stay true to who she is. Her arc has been about discovering that, discovering who she is and what she wants and I love it. I'm also quite fond of Aunt Prudence, who seems like the wet blanket character all concerned about society and perception in contrast to Miss Fisher, when in truth she's extremely sure of herself and willing to wield that power. I came away wanting more Mac and her snark and her snazzy lady suits and am frequently mind blown by remembering that she was Jool on Farscape.

In conclusion: YAY WOMEN! It's delightful to watch a show with so many lovely women.
Remind me later that I want to talk about Pretty Deadly and Sex Criminals, but right now I need to go feed the baby. With my boob!
