The Long and Winding Road

The good news:
The planned route for the Wekiva Parkway is about four or five miles from our house. And, the connector road will make Cayne's commute much easier, connecting the main road (the 441-our house is about two miles away from it) to the road that Cayne's office is on, a few miles from the office.

The bad news-fortunately not for us:

Chris, a colleague/friend of Cayne's, is building a new house really really close to the route for the new road.

In other words, we're far enough away that we shouldn't feel significant impact from the road, except for possibly some minor construction delays along Main Street at times, and in fact, the nearby access to the road might even be to our benefit when we want to sell our house.

Names, names names

I have a Vox invite to use. I need a username. I am thoroughly uncreative with these things, but prefer to separate my real name from my online name.

So, I toss it to you, dear readers (and no, I'm not abandoning LJ) for suggestions.

If desired, best suggestion gets a care package of cookies.

Answers screened for now, but I'll put up a poll with them in a couple of days.

Truthfully...

Part of a response I wrote elsewhere this morning...

"It pains me that you (or any person) feels the need to fake interest in sex, or fake orgasms. I think it can be really harmful to a relationship-dishonesty in other areas of a relationship is, for most people, unacceptable...why do so many people feel it's okay in the bedroom?"

I know there were times when I was younger, and didn't have the self-awareness or self-confidence to speak up as much when I faked interest. But at some point, I realized or I learned that it caused more harm than good, that having sex when I didn't feel like it, or having sex and faking it to get it over with was wrong for me, and my partner. I'm glad I came to that place, but I wonder about people who choose to fake it. In most cases...what's the benefit?

Half the size it used to be

No confirmation from the midwife yet-I don't actually meet with her til next week, but the cyst on the right side is about half the size it was in April, which means the pills are doing what they're supposed to-I'm not exactly sure what this means in terms of getting off the pill though...that's for next week.

And interesting conversations with the Ultrasound tech, about which hospitals around here to deliver at, and why. She says she would go to Winnie Palmer/Orlando Reigonal, which has neonatologists on call/on staff and available 24/7/365, rather than Florida Hospital, which doesn't. Winnie Palmer handles the high risk pregnancy around here, and has a high C section rate for normal pregnancies. It's something to think about though. They're about equidistant from the new house anyway.

And the sleep doctor had a cancellation, so instead of having to wait several weeks, Cayne has an appointment for tomorrow.

Yay!
