A hard post to write today.  Little things.  Deep breath. 1.  Grateful that my husband is here for me, that he is the kindest and the best and always has a pocket handkerchief to hand that he’s willing to lend at need. 2.  My dog is also rising to the challenge of keeping me sane.  [...]

1.   Thunder- & rain-storm last night.  Deliciously much-needed rain!  Mmmmmmm. 2.  Found an app for my old favorite ‘back when I used to use a PC and wasted too much time on video games’ video game Minesweeper.  I’ve still got the touch.  I rock. 3.  No itching yet.  Oh, and yes – we did skin [...]

1.  The Boy made his favorite cake – golden cake with lemon frosting – and I made chicken pot pie – one of my favorite meals of all times – last night.  So the house smelled divine, and the food tastes/textures were wonderful, and what with the drizzly rain and the cool air, it was [...]

1.  Waffles for dinner.  Waffles & the best bacon in the world (- uncured, no nitrates, not particularly salty – from the local pork butcher) for dinner.  The scrumptiousness of the meal did not, however, entice Henry into making his debut, the way I’d hoped.  I mean, seriously, maple syrup has to be yummier on [...]

1.  It’s cooled down a bit, I actually accomplished something yesterday (walked to the bank to deposit checks, called up my union for clarification on some paperwork, mailed in FMLA info – woohoo!) and I slept well again last night. 2.  Less than a week to go til our due date.  No matter how eager [...]

1.  One of my favorite bloggers – and certainly the one I’ve been following the longest – has been posting photos of the place I lived before I moved to NYC.  And I’m happy to say that while I’ve been reading about her vacation with more than a little envy – there aint nowhere more [...]

1.  Whoa – don’t know how I missed this one yesterday, but we’re down to single digits in my countdown widget.  Wooohoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! 2.  Had a quick visit yesterday with Mo that made my day fun and full of laughter (bitter & otherwise!) and limonade at the burger joint.  Plus she gave me a nifty XXXXXL [...]

1.  My dog and I have been having a very good time being home together.  It helps that she’s the nappingest dog ever, and so all I have to do is ask if she wants to go downstairs & she’s off like a flash, beats me into bed, and curls up around me (and my [...]

1.  The Boy bought a new, fancy-schmancy router yesterday.  Since we’ve been hobbling along with my ancient one – which sometimes works and sometimes cuts us off mid-comment, or sometimes just delays actually connecting us -  for a very long time, this is a really big deal.  It’s like grown-up access.  So cool to have [...]

1.  Ok, so as whiny as I am these days, I’m still getting a huge kick out of Thor’s, er, huge kicks.  Everyone says he’s going to start slowing down one of these days, but I haven’t seen it yet.  Pretty wild watching my belly move all over the place.  I’m going to miss that, [...]
