Does someone who sends an email at 830PM the eve of Thanksgiving honestly think they are going to get a response/action? Oy.

As someone who was sending emails last night, I can say no, they do not expect an answer. Sometimes it’s just easier to knock out a bunch of things when nobody else is working. (That is, assuming they didn’t say something like, “I need a response on this immediately”)

Did you do the NIPT? I just had my first prenatal appt and they scheduled me for the NIPT at 10 weeks. I’m a little nervous and anxious. Did anyone get it and got a false positive? Do you not recommend it? I wish I could ask family but we’re not telling anyone until the 12 weeks mark.

It’s hard for me to believe that the party of conservatives, which has historically stood proudly for important traditions, is now responsible for holding convention activities at the White House and having a Secretary of State engage in political activities while on official business in a foreign land. The window of opportunity to course correct, assuming it is still open, is closing quickly. Biden is closer to the Republican Party I grew up with than Trump is...

When did you decide to get medicated? I have what I’d call “high functioning” depression and anxiety. See a therapist and all, but still deal with lows that seem hard to overcome for weeks on end - losing interest, hard to focus on work, sleeping difficulties, etc. Hard to tell when to make that decision!
