I must write Dahlia Lithwick a thank-you note for introducing you to me, even if she didn’t really know she did and couldn’t care less one way or the other and probably just gives notes like that to the cat for something to sit on. She has a cat, right? She should have a cat. Anyway, this was wonderful and I love you enough to pay for you even though I’m selling off half my Gudrun Sjoden clothes on Facebook to pay for the diet and exercise coach, which makes my husband happy because he thinks they make me look like a 12th century nomad on acid.

Once again, Bess nails it. I should probably take this as a sign to restart anti-depressants but I’ll ignore the glaring signal and return to falling asleep in the midst of large family gatherings under the guise of “motherhood.” Also, my progesterone-only “mini pill” that is the only oral contraceptive pill that can be taken while breastfeeding and also *must* be taken at the exact same time every day regardless of baby’s current nap schedule/nursing strike would like to enter the conversation as well.
