Accomplishing nothing. And something.

[nattish]

I'm having one of those months where I feel like I have no time at all, the days pass instantly, I'm somehow very stressed, but when I look at time over my shoulder I realize I've accomplished next to nothing -- not RL obligations, not RL writing, not fic, not even cleaning the flipping house. What gives

It is the baby. Specifically it is a thing called mommy brain. (They have done science proving this shit. Last half pregnancy plus like first 3-6mos, moms and dads brains rewire permanently. You lose short-term memory connectors in favor of baby-related what-if planning connectors.)

Take as much advantage of grandparents as possible. I know it is obnoxious now, but they are a source of babysitting, sleep, and showers.

That sounds horrifying! I will read and read about it.

I will take advantage. I'm not a terribly gushy person (except, it seems, when it comes to really good romance fanfic?), so I will have to grow a lot of patience in the coming months. I know they mean well and will prove to be very helpful.

Patience is hard and I am always struggling with my own impatient, hermitty ways.

You can do this! *pompoms*

Alas, I have no words of comfort but offer hugs. *hugs* But a witch! Sweet! <333

[nattish]

Hugs are more than enough! :)))

congrats on the witch!

I wish you the best with mommy brain. I hope it's not too bothersome for you.

Interesting! And thank you. :D
