1.  Watched The Business of Being Born last night (my first time ever downloading a movie from Netflix – how cool is that service?) and really enjoyed it.  Not so much that it was new info for me, because it wasn’t, but I rather liked the filmed bits showing women actually giving birth at home and getting emotional.  I also – oddly – found it rather wonderful that the filmmaker whose homebirth was going to be a part of the movie ended up being transferred to a hospital for an emergency c-section at 35 weeks or so.  And that became part of the movie, too, which I was pleased about – they actually did balance it out with “and yeah, sometimes a hospital is the only place you’re going to get that kid out with mom & baby still healthy.”  A refreshingly open movie.

2.  After coffee and dog-walk, we’re on our way up to Mass/NH to pick up the Boy and (tomorrow) go look at the farm I have my heart set on living in.  We’ll see if the reality lives up to my daydreams, eh?  So much fun to go looking at a place to live like a normal married couple (I moved into the Boy’s house, which was already furnished and his when I got here.)  Really looking forward to building a home together.

3.  Just downloaded (since I was already on a downloading trend) one of my favorite albums ever – the soundtrack from “Until the End of the World”.  Which is one of my favorite movies ever.

4.  Working away from the ROP yesterday, and now for the foreseeable future, is such a relief I cannot express it adequately.  Sane people.  People who respond appropriately, even to stressful situations.  Ah!  Bliss!

5.  Coconut popsicles.  And an avocado sandwich for dinner (hey, I’m having a hard time gaining weight due to the nighttime nose-puking, so don’t judge me too harshly!)  Also, I bought my first (of many, I’m sure) carton of fresh figs – a treat I’d never had before moving to NYC but am now addicted to.  Summer fruit is the best anyway, but fresh figs?  OMG, they’re the best.
