These are the content notes for "The Things We Never Saw Coming."
A three-quarter bathroom has a toilet, a sink, and a shower. A pregnant woman, who will spend a lot of time in the bathroom over nine months, benefits from plenty of space and a tub for soaking.
Unexpected pregnancy poses a big challenge for both women and men. Making a decision is a complex process. Terramagne-America grants the final decision to the pregnant person, for reasons of body autonomy, but people are encouraged to involve others in the process, especially the other genetic contributor(s). Sometimes people are pressured to have an abortion. There are multiple options for parenting and kinship adoption. Hiring supplemental or full-time childcare is recommended as part of financial planning with an unplanned pregnancy. Relative childcare is another option, especially in extended families where children can be bundled together and passed from household to household. With the initial shock out of the way, there can even be advantages to an unplanned pregnancy.
Unplanned pregnancy is a leading cause of college dropouts.
Pregnant and parenting teens and new adults need extra support. It helps to focus on strengths.
Chokola Ayisyen (Haitian Hot Chocolate) has health benefits from chocolate, cinnamon, and anise.
The Real Happy Meal is a hole-in-the-wall restaurant chain that also runs food trucks. Everything they sell is (or contains ingredients from) the list of foods scientifically proven to support health and happiness. Their paper goods are printed with happy quotes and tips on becoming happier.
The lunch options include:
black bean hummus
multigrain crackers, red pepper strips, and celery
steamed halibut
spicy roasted broccoli
Greek yogurt with blueberries or sliced apricots
Frisky Critters is a fryhouse chain. They fry an enormous variety of meats and vegetables, a few fruits, and desserts. Among the favorites is their "Fried Whatever" available in basket or bucket sizes. It is, literally, whatever random menu items are coming up extra that day based on what people are not ordering, sold on the cheap so they don't go to waste. The menu varies somewhat by region because the restaurants buy as many local ingredients as feasible. Frisky Critters is ubiquitous in the south and well-represented in the midwest and plains, but less so on the coasts.
A halal mortgage uses shared ownership instead of interest. Each month, the borrower pays a fee to use the lender's share of the property and makes a payment toward buying out the lender's share. This makes it much faster and easier to switch between "rent" and "buy" modes. If the borrower gets a windfall, they can buy out more flexibly than on an interest mortgage. If they want to leave, then the lender simply buys out their share and offers the property to a new borrower. Given the iffy yet potentially promising situation in Mercedes, that's a prime market for halal mortgages.
Muallaf (new convert/ reconciliation of hearts) defined as Muallaf-al-Qulub as refers to a persons who converted or revert to Islam regardless of races and nation.
Zakat is not obligatory for non-Muslims, but it is encouraged in Terramagne. They are not penalized for not paying it, but instead, paying it earns them extra privileges as they are then considered muallaftul qulubum (those whose hearts are inclined towards Islam). Thus Molly can simply show her zakat receipts from the Maldives and gain access to Muslim perks without having to jump through many hoops. Any time she wants to do things the Muslim way, they will happily facilitate that.
Relationship therapy covers all kinds of relationships. It can build skills, work through challenges, address life changes, and so on. Premarital or courtship counseling focuses on relationship skills and life plans prior to commitment. It often includes romantic and erotic exercises. Pre-parenting and new baby counseling assist with the family transition. Polycules may seek a counselor who already understands the challenges of a multiperson household.
Most communities in Terramagne-America offer some amount of free counseling for mental wellness or fixing small to medium issues, either volunteer or professional. Longer or deeper work usually requires hiring a professional, although insurance covers mental as well as physical care. Clients can choose from a variety of counseling types and topics according to their needs. Mental wellness modules include things like mindfulness and problem-solving. Mental illness modules cover issues such as anxiety or perfectionism.
T-American emergency services typically provide counseling for employees. Small departments may have a member trained in Emotional First Aid and refer to outside professionals for more detailed care. Larger departments usually have an in-house counselor. Here is a guide to mental health support for firefighters.
