Keeping it Classy with MWP

Tomorrow is 4/1/25... it's also April Fools Day. I HATE April Fools Day. I wish I could hide in bed all day. Why? I'll tell you (even if you don't care). As a person that suffers from generalized anxiety, pranks aren't funny. Telling me I have flat tires? Rigging the sprayer in the kitchen to soak me? Saran wrap on a toilet so my pee goes on the floor? All of these things have zero humor to me... they just make my normal every day anxiety worse... like holiday anxiety.

And to all the people that think pregnancy announcement pranks are funny? Fuck you... y'all must have never experienced infertility or losses (and yes I've lived both)

My daughter was born (years ago) today... 3/31. When I got to the hospital I told the nurse she HAD to be born today or I'd do EVERYTHING in my power to keep her in my body until 4/2. Thankfully it didn't come to that... but that's how strongly I feel about tomorrow

Happy birthday to your daughter. I agree April fool’s jokes are a waste of time.

As someone who has also suffered from generalized anxiety disorder (don't remember if we've talked about that before), I totally understand what you mean, although no one has ever pulled a prank on me like what you described.

And my younger son was scheduled to be induced on April 1st. My wife and I rescheduled not because it was April Fool's Day, because somehow we had spaced that off, but because we thought our KU Jayhawks were going to be playing in the Final Four that day. Turns out they lost the game before that, but that loss still saved our son from having an April Fool's birthday.
 
I really wish I was under a heap of blankets... But, I made it to my desk... So far I've avoided anything terrible.
Thank you for being candid about your anxiety. I too have anxiety disorder. Lit has been incredibly healing for me. Thank you for being part of that. May you too find comfort and healing here.

Love you painted toes! And fuzzy blanket! Your pics are always such fun!

Sending hugs (if that's ok).

Thank you so much! Being back on Lit has helped me in incredible ways... managing anxiety, increasing my confidence, helping me figure out how to communicate with people again just to name a few. I'm so glad you're on a healing journey!

Now... get over here!!!
