I was starting to feel a little overwhelmed by today already, because I have a bridal shower to attend this afternoon, and I need to prune the roses before tonight so that the yard debris bin can go out to the curb before tomorrow morning. When you’re supposed to be on bedrest, that’s already [...]
So, my doctor called me this afternoon to see how I was doing, and to tell me that they want to rerun one of my blood tests when I go up to the hospital this evening to drop off my other lab stuff. She was very happy to hear that I’d stayed home from [...]
My doctor has scheduled me for a fetal stress test this evening up at the hospital, which means I still have plenty of time to go to work today, but my coworkers talked me out of it. They’re probably right. I won’t be at work tomorrow either, because one of the other things [...]
My doctor has written a letter to my boss saying that I need to work less. I think that she’s right, but I hate that that’s so.
I have been having the kind of day where I consistently write down the date wrong, and then sit there staring at it for five minutes trying to figure out what the problem is. Simple, brainless, familiar parts of my job have been leaving me utterly perplexed, and lunchtime yoga just made me feel [...]

Oh, and did I mention that my father got laid off? Today was his last day. Apparently my parents have known that this was coming for a month, but they didn’t bother to tell me because I have ‘other things to think about.’ I don’t think my mother would have told me [...]
I had a million reasons to feel crummy today, but I can’t really say that I did. The bus ride took an hour because there was a wreck on the bridge, work was frustrating and my boss was stupid, and I was more or less constantly hungry, but somehow, it was all ok. [...]
My first post of 2010! Except I’m not really crazy about resolutions, and while I’ve enjoyed reading the Decade in Review posts that have been going up around here, I’m not too keen on writing one myself. There are large parts of the last decade that I have no desire to air in public, and [...]
In other news, I won the award for “Most Ornate” costume at the costume contest at work, for dressing up as a trapeze artist. (Our floor did a circus theme.) I’ll post pictures as soon as they send them out.
