Feeling connected

Vacation, it suits me. We’re at an undisclosed location in the St. Paul area for the rest of the week. This is the first time I’ve had non-work Internet access in almost a week. I’m thinking I would like to move in and live here. When I first moved north, I would actually look forward [...]

Officially on holiday

Posting will be light for the rest of the week since we have no Internet access at the house. And because I will be glued to the sofa eating popcorn balls and other holiday treats. Have a great holiday, whatever you celebrate!

The countdown

Okay, so I’m here, working. And it’s not so bad. Really, the hardest part is getting up out of bed and out the door. But the crummy part? There is nothing to do. And I’m here for another… five hours. But there is Internet, which we most likely won’t have at the house until after [...]

Possibly crazy, but at least pulling in a steady paycheck

The morning did not start off particularly well, considering I dragged myself out of bed an hour later than when I should have. Which meant I was an hour later for work than I wanted, and then there were the two old bats driving 35 MPH down the highway. I can only hope that if [...]

17 Weeks

I survived two holiday parties last weekend, sans alcohol and only had to suffer through some secondhand smoke for about an hour. (No need to comment, I already feel like the worst mother in the world before the baby is even born for letting myself be talked into that situation.) It’s not about the booze. [...]

Wishing the baby would share some of the blood supply with my brain

This is how my brain works lately: Department potluck. I see the announcement in the office. I see the signup sheet and write down what I’m bringing. I get the reminder in my mailbox yesterday. I see the date: December 12. That would be today. Noon. But the reality? It’s not today. It was never [...]

The Land of You’ve Got To Be Kidding Me

I have bought a handful of items over the past ten years from Pottery Barn, meaning I am on their ten catalogs a month mailing list for life, it seems. Last week I received one from The Land of Nod. I had never heard of this place, and I’m still trying to figure out how [...]

You’ve been warned

I’d like to post a sign outside my cubicle that says: PREGNANT WOMAN INSIDE. DO NOT BRING YOUR ACADEMIA GRIPES WITHIN 100 FEET OR FEAR ITS WRATH. BETTER YET, JUST GET THE HELL AWAY. DON’T SAY YOU HAVEN’T BEEN WARNED.

Maybe I’m a runner after all

I slept terribly last night, the kind of sleep that leaves you feeling like you just went to bed, like you need about three more hours, even though the alarm is going off next to your face. I was told I tossed and turned all night, but I don’t really remember it. Finding a comfortable [...]

And now, the crippling anxiety

It’s possible I could be having some anxiety associated with this whole baby thing. My dreams have been, well, screwy for the past few months, but last night won the award. I was at some sort of event, and whether it was social or work-related I cannot remember. I don’t even remember where I was, [...]

Thank you for stating the obvious, and as it turns out, not so obvious to my lovely grandmother

It hadn’t occurred to me yesterday when I posted about the details of my current pregnancy that I might need to make some other things clear. I called my grandmother this morning to tell her the news; she was the last close relative who needed to be told (in my family), and I knew that [...]

The (not so) skinny

You may be wondering about my latest announcement, and so to be fair, here’s the rundown, or at least what I know so far. Weeks along: 15? Today is 15 weeks and 5 days, which means I’m in the 15th or 16th week? Damn pregnancy calendars. I can’t really tell. What I can tell you [...]
