On the other hand, a lot of incredible art and literature was produced pre-daily-bathing, so you do the math.  <\/p>\n<p>Just so you can follow along at home, thanks to a winning combination of the idiots at my doctor&#8217;s office and the scumbags at my insurance company I&#8217;ll be 18 weeks on Friday and still haven&#8217;t gotten my first progesterone shot.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am a malcontent, and I hate admitting it.
