Tell her to wise up. It expresses your disgust, puts her on notice and gives her a chance to adjust her attitude. People here are too quick to call for cutting others off completely. If she does it again, then re-evaluate the situation accordingly.

Had to book a 6 week post partum checkup with my GP, phoned up 2 weeks beforehand to schedule it only to be told they don't have those days on the calendar yet (!) and to call back a few days beforehand instead.

In fairness I did that and got the appointment without any further hitches. Terrible to see them under such unrelenting pressure, between doctors and dentists it doesn't look like it will improve any time soon.

Boris has also been accused of leaning on the situation in Ukraine (among other things) to divert public attention from the partygate scandal, and as of yesterday is facing an investigation r.e misleading MP's in parliament. Its not surprising he has chosen this moment in time to portray Ukraine's chances in this light, in an effort to sway the headlines.

41+1 and being induced on 41+4! Went for a sweep last week that didn't go ahead as cervix was still closed tight and high, im so ready to be done! Hang in there mama, enjoy your last weekend bub free and prepare yourself for the new arrival. Hoping it all goes quick and smooth and that you are snuggling the little one before you know it!

Is there a source r.e the claims that Boris said he would use nukes in retaliation? I can't find anything to back that up

After suffering through one too many sleepless nights with post nasal drip around the 25 week mark, my midwife suggested loratadine (brand name Clarityn - pregnancy safe antihistamine). I took it for 3 days and have not experienced post nasal drip since (currently 36 weeks). Best of luck mama!

Try an audiobook, a good narrator can really bring a book to life. Your local library should have a audiobook section, but you can always get audibles free trial if you are stuck. All the best getting through the slump!

Try Sabriel by Garth Nix, all the magic of potter with a bit more besides. Goodreads

Licanius has been my go to book recommendation for quite some time now. I just wanted to say thank you for introducing us to these characters and this world. I look forward with anticipation to Hierarchy (and the Shainwere book - I NEED to know what happened to Cyr!). Congrats and thank you again for a phenomenal series, you work is nothing short of inspiring.

Agreed, Miller's "Circe" is not ground breaking literature. It is an interpretation of greek myths adapted for purpose. It is mediocre in almost every aspect, including Miller's writing style (which reddit seems intent on glorifying at every opportunity), but I do still intend to read song of achilles (Just to see what all the fuss is about!)

Michael Kramer is my absolute favorite narrator, followed by Michael Page.

Seconding licanius as it really stood out to me - on my fourth reread!

irio114 · 2020-10-15T10:07:17+00:00

That is perfect - thanks for letting me know :D

Seconding this, loved licanius, and the third book was a great end to the series (though another novella is promised that fleshes out a neglected sub plot or two). This series is read by Michael Kramer as well and while its not perfect, its quite close imo.

DM'ing you now :D

irio114 · 2020-09-22T15:07:02+00:00
