1.  I was in my bed for close to 11 hours last night.  Not sleeping for all of them, there’s still that 3am-5am block of time to get through wide awake, but hey!  9 hours of sleep?  Even broken up here & there?  Happy, happy sprogblogger.

2.  The epic snowstorm we were hoping for told to expect never materialized, which was slightly disappointing, but I’ve decided to be pleased by the fact that the sidewalks are all clear, and it’s a bright, cold day out there today.  Might be a day for walking down to the harbor and looking at ships.  Or just staying indoors and thinking about walking down to the harbor & looking at ships.

3.  My Lovenox bruises seem to be fading.  I think this is a good thing.  I hope it is, anyway.  It’s sure easier to find a new spot to inject when half my belly isn’t black & blue…

4.  I have a plan to deal with the spotting.  Plans make me happy, or at least, they soothe me.  And I’m in desperate need of some soothing on this issue.

5.  If I can keep the nausea away long enough to contemplate it, I’m actually going to bake the beet cake today.  I’m anticipating much mess, and a rather lackluster result, but hey – anything to bond with the stepdaughter.  She wants a beet cake, I’m gonna learn to make her a beet cake…  And, hey, I could certainly use some baking zen these days, even if the end result is nothing I want to sample.
