I went over to a guy’s house after a date once and he had this giant piece of art on the wall. He said, “If you know what that is, we’re getting married.” I said, “it’s a topographic map.” He asked if I knew the location. I guessed correctly. Still waiting on that proposal.

Drove a friend to the airport ~5:30AM. Half asleep, I missed a turn, delaying us 3 min. Got chewed out bc his checked bag needed to be in by x time. It was 3 min late. I waited 20 min for him at the house but am still SO upset at MYSELF for this. Why am I like this??

This is a hard thread to write. Our genetic testing came back today and our baby has a rare genetic disorder. Baby has no chance at life, and is unlikely to survive to term. I am now in my second trimester and in many states would have no option but to move forward anyway.

I know that sounds morbid but that’s the reality of the situation and I think our policymakers could use a dose of reality these days.

At 12 weeks, I am already past the cutoff to terminate a pregnancy in some states. Being in this situation is hard enough. I can’t imagine being in this situation and being told I have no choice but to continue forward and just wait for this baby to die on it’s own time.

But here we are. I’m tweeting the thing I never wanted to. But I think it’s important to share, both by way of explanation and for the support I know I’ll need. And to add another story to the world about why we need reproductive choice.

Many of us operate under the notion that if we can make it through the first trimester, we are home free, it’s smooth sailing from there. We had every intention of announcing to the world next week with our latest ultrasound pics, adorned in pink or blue.

I went to my OB/GYN for an ultrasound and was taken to a high risk OB/GYN for a second ultrasound and a consult with a specialist and a genetic counselor. Based on ultrasound findings they are 99.9% certain the genetic testing was correct. I do not have a viable pregnancy.

This is why I can never get behind Dave Ramsey. I am not about to lead a life of total deprivation because I decided to get a graduate degree. The toll on my mental health caused by a complete lack of fun would be far more detrimental than the cost of an occasional meal out.

After today’s discussion on maternity leave it feels appropriate to announce that I will be taking mine in November 2022. Surprise! 😂 If you know me IRL, I’m sorry you’re finding out here and PLEASE don’t share on other platforms until I officially announce in May.

The moral of this story is: be diligent with your finances. Don’t let things like this slip by. I’m sure I meant to file that 2018 tax return when my missing W2 arrived but I forgot and now I’m paying the price. Oh—and keep an emergency fund just in case. /end

I am all for paying off debts. (Do as I say, not as I do, y’all.) But, rarely does anyone on their deathbed say, “I wish I had paid off my student loan.” They wish they had traveled or experienced more things. Allow yourself space in your budget to enjoy life.

The DOR will not release any of my paycheck to me to live off of and, in fact, they’ll snatch up any money deposited into that account during the hold period (of up to 30 days). So not only can I not pay my bills, I can’t even feed myself or my dog. 10/

Today I learned that the DOR’s default action is to bill a taxpayer for the tax due based upon the person’s salary for the tax year. The DOR will NOT give the taxpayer credit for employer withholding. A return has to be filed to get that credit. 6/

So the DOR lady told me that I probably already paid this tax but since I didn’t file, I was billed. For about $4800. Which is now $9800 because of interest and penalties assessed over the past five years. 7/
