Life is weird sometimes. We spend the first half of our lives trying not to get pregnant, and the 2nd half trying to get pregnant. And that’s how I found myself injecting strange chemicals into my belly at 7am in the public bathroom of my fertility clinic, with seconds to spare before my one-hour window ran out. Why they had to schedule my doctor’s appointment within an hour of the exact time I needed to administer the meds was beyond me. After feeling the biting sting of the meds as I pu...| Millennial Revolution
Now that we have an infant son, we no longer have the time to spend hours on the phone with Airbnb support, live in dangerous “ghost hotels” disguised as homes, or risk getting cancelled on last minute. Unfortunately, relying on hotels for long term stays wouldn’t work for us since we need a kitchen and laundry more than ever.

TV show guest: “Back in my day, we didn’t have video games. The only toys we had were chalk that we used to draw on a sidewalk” Eric (*incredulous*): “You had chalk?” Me (*even more incredulous*): “You had a SIDEWALK?” I never expected to find my country bumpkin doppelganger in Miami, but that’s exactly what happened when I met my Airbnb host several years ago.
