1.  I did, indeed, sleep like a dead thing despite the nightmares about, er, dead things. 2.  A busy week ahead of me, with lots to distract me from the fact that I’d rather be sleeping. 3.  We’ve scheduled showings of 5 more houses we’re online-interested in for next weekend.  Because, really, one cannot pack [...]

1.  2 months til my official due date.  I’m in my 8th month of pregnancy, no matter how you look at it.  Unless of course, you’re eyeballing me (& therefore guessing at my due date), in which case you’re probably convinced I’m going to pop tonight. 2.  Connecticut wasn’t exactly restful – really damned hot, [...]

1. The Boy is still psyched about buying a house out-of-town.   Need I say how happy this makes me?  He is, in fact, going to take care of setting up viewing appointments for next weekend all over NH.  I think we’re really going to do this! 2.  Fridays are always slow at the library.  Don’t [...]

1.  July is half over!  When did this happen?  Wow!  Italy soon!  Baby soon after that!  Wow! 2.  Yesterday did me good.  I think I must have picked up some kind of a 24 hour bug, because although I napped three times yesterday, I didn’t feel yucky the way I did on Tuesday.  And I [...]

1.  Rain!  Glorious rain!  Not that it’s cooling down much, but at least the trees won’t be wilting today! 2.  OB appointment this morning, and the Boy is coming along to meet the man who’s going to hand him his son. Which should be sort of fun. 3.  Despite me being momentarily frightened last night [...]

1.  So, we spent last night discussing all the ways we could remodel The Farm to make it more comfortable.  The Boy, apparently, spent all day dreaming about that gorgeous hillside.  Looks like that property is not yet out of the running! 2.  Day off today.  Day off begun with a long, lazy, lie-in and [...]

1.  The whirlwind trip north was, if not unalloyed fun, at least unalloyed interesting. Had a lovely visit with a friend from a big writing workshop I did in my youth.  Had a wonderful time with the friends who were here last week, hosting us in their house instead.  Had a great time going to [...]

1.  You are reading the blog of a person who may not ever have to work another day at the Realm of Pain.  I’ve been semi-permanently transferred to another branch.  Not a great branch, but better than the ROP, you know?  Shoot, if I’d known that playing the “I’m pregnant and can’t be around dangerous [...]

1.  I got sent away from the Realm of Pain yesterday – just for yesterday & today, but I’ll still count it a blessing.  The branch is being renovated, and we’re working in the basement while the main floor is being redone.  The reason we were out of the branch entirely for so long this [...]

1.  This current heat wave is, at least, not a particularly humid one.  Which means this desert girl tolerates it a whole lot better.  Sorry to all you non-desert people, but I’m grateful, even though we’re looking at 103* today. 2.  My friends (and I) had our layoff notices rescinded yesterday.  There is general rejoicing [...]
