Here We Are Then...

tagged by the lovely @tgmsunmontue @stars-of-nixie and @sonnywrites! Thanks pals!

The last week month have been insane, culminating in one of my best friends visiting for 4 days and reminding me how good it feels to take a couple of days off of work to just hang out and be a person instead of a corporate robot. Don't worry @shorelinetides I'm still poking away at my fake dating fic, so here's a lil snippet. <3

"We have a problem," Jake moans as he drops into the chair next to Bradley's desk. It probably has a permanent indent in the shape of his ass with how often he's sat in it over the last few months. "Why do we have a problem, baby?" Bradley asks, clearly distracted, eyes still on his screen. "No one's here, Bradshaw. don't bother playing pretend when it's just us," Jake reminds him, kicking his shin. Bradley sighs, eyes closing for a second before looking at Jake. When his gaze meets Jake's, he doesn't look annoyed like Jake was expecting, he just looks tired. That tracks, they got back from a quick and dirty five day mission yesterday, the only reason they're here today was for the debriefing this morning and to file their reports, then it's five days of leave that Jake plans on spending at least half of sleeping before Emma comes down. "Just tired, I forget sometimes," his smile is bashful. "What's the problem?" "My parents are in L.A. visiting Jessie. They're driving Emma down this weekend," Jake runs a hand through his hair and is reminded that he needs it cut soon. "Not seeing the problem," Bradley swivels in his chair, knees knocking against Jake's before they slot together like puzzle pieces. "Just means you save a little on gas." "How did I forget you've never had to deal with demanding parents," Jake drops his head back against the back of the chair, not even feeling bad about mentioning Bradley's lack of living relatives. "They want to meet you. Pretty sure they want to make sure you're good enough for me. I can make up an excuse—" "Nope, I'll be there," Bradley grins. "Come on, don't make me look bad. I want to impress them." "Why?" Jake asks, incredulous. There's a heavy pause before he says, "Do I need a reason? I like when parents like me."

Eddie Diaz Week Day 2 - Competition

Helllo 😁 just saying hi

OMG HI! You just put a big smile on my face.

I know I've been pretty absent but I've been struggling with my pregnancy and therefore been just existing. Baby is fine, my body just doesn't appreciate being pregnant at all.

.... Also I'm currently potty training a toddler that insistently does not want to wear diapers anymore but also seems to not have grasped the concept of bladder control yet. So fun times!!!

I have been going to a pottery class (it's more of a meet up as there's no real teaching but it's officially labeled as a class) which has been super fun. LOOK i even made things (which counts as being creative right?):

I love the pottery class stuff, the octopus is particularly fabulous. Thanks for showing me I love to see what people are up to out there.

Take care of yourself and good luck with the puddles toddler will get there in the end!
