September 2003

“Touched by an Angel” is on, so it’s time once again to journal.? Just another day… I will say, however, that I’m sick and tired of the hot weather.? I mean, 92?? It’s almost October for Pete’s sake!? This isn’t right and it’s ticking me off.? Is it so much to ask for cooler weather?? For crying out loud.? Dave says that it’ll cool off midweek next week.? First off, I’m not sure I believe him and secondly, that’s just a touch longer than I care to wait.? Oh well, at least the end is in sight.

Right now, H is whining in my ear about something to eat.? We just don’t have anything right now.? Sad, but true.? I guess I also woke up from my nap feeling a little snarky.

I made the huge mistake this afternoon of visiting the Ovusucks Debate boards.? That was stupid.? I got drawn into this tedious argument about letting your kid play with a kid whose parents are gay.? Sometimes, the sheer ignorance of some people just astonishes me.? I don’t know why I let myself get drug into these things.? I know, it’s just a losing battle.

Anyhow.? Why is this show so sad?

At any rate, it’s Wednesday.? We’ll probably watch The Bachelor tonight.? At least I’d like to.? Still not sure how we’re going to manage all the TV tomorrow night.

What would I do if we had FOUR boys?? Probably have an aneurism.? I think we’d stop after three.? Maybe.? Well, let’s just have a girl this time and take the pressure off.? Sounds good to me!

I wonder what’s for dinner tonight.? I almost would like pizza but I’m not sold on that.? I just can’t get into dinner anymore these days.? Pain in the arse.

Despite the headache which plagued me from last night on, I’ve been fairly productive today. I got my update done before lunch even, a Halloween kitchen. Go me! I got clothes in the dryer, took a shower and even managed a rejuvenating nap. Go me!

The headache was awful. Of course, we didn’t have a bit of Tylenol around here. So it was suffer time. Great. But it seems to be gone now. Thank God for small favors.

Not much to report today. One of those “slow news day” sort of days. I took a regular prenatal last night. Course, it was one of the old ones and I don’t now how old it was. Oops! Well, I sorta did that on purpose. Tonight I’ll take one of the new ones and we’ll see how that all shakes down.

The headaches do have me a little worried. It’s an easy sign of preeclampsia. And I can’t help but wonder if you’re more prone to it the second time around if you developed it the first time. I’ll have to ask about that next week. I guess if I had it now, there wouldn’t be much we could do. Gee, happy thought! Naw, I had a lot of headaches last time too so I think this is *normal* at least for me.

Man, now I’m feeling all irked. Okay, I’ve probably mentioned the whole screwup with my website and some people’s passwords and usernames. Well, some lady made a complaint to PayPal, saying she didn’t receive her goods. Urgh. I emailed her about the problems but I think she’s going to want a refund. I just wish she’d have emailed me instead of going to PayPal. Some people just infuriate me with their passive aggressive bitchiness. I swear. And the problem is totally fixed, so I so don’t get why she’s all uppity about it.

It makes me wonder how much longer I can do this wihtout losing my mind. I don’t think I’ll ever go past next summer. If not sooner. Depends on the full level of bullshit I get from here on out.

Aren’t I sunshine and happiness today?

I let the “word” out in my update. One would hope that’d take off some of the pressure but so far it ain’t looking like it.

Eventually, I’ll need to do some dishes. I’m hoping it’s later rather than sooner.

Mmm… Pizza. All the sudden that just sounded good.

I’m so not interested in dinner these days. Doesn’t seem to matter what we’re having. I may forgo it altogether tonight.

Seethe. See? I’m still not over it.

It’s the Monday’s! Horrors, I have a case of the Monday’s! God, I hate Monday. Bites the BIG one.

Yay! “Touched by an Angel” time. My day draws to a close. Thank you, GOD. Guess I’d better do those dishes. After “Angels”, of course. Don’t think I’ve seen this one and it looks pretty good. Hasta manyana! (or however the heck that’s spelt)

12 weeks! True enough, there was a time when i thought I wouldn’t get this far. My attitude has changed quite a bit in recent weeks. Much more positive now. Not quite the second trimester yet, though. I think that’s either after this week or after next. Really depends on who you ask. But for the most part, the second trimester looms and it’s close.

The Emmy’s are on but we’re snubbing them, as usual. They snub “Buffy”, we snub them. And there is no more “Buffy” so it’s particularly heinous, the snubbing. Bastards.

So we *were* going to go to church this morning. Honest! But we’re still depending on me to wake up on time and these days it just ain’t happening. We’ll have to set an alarm or something.

So we woke up at 9. If I hadn’t had to take a shower, we could have managed it. Breakfast was pretty spare. No eggs to cook with!

We finally go around and got out the door. I treated everyone to lunch at Mimi’s Cafe. Incidentally, Mimi’s was named 3rd best New Restaurant in Reno. Yeah, PF Changs was first. So of course, the soup was fab as usual though I probably should have stuck to the BLT instead of the tuna. I mean, who puts celery in their tuna salad? Honestly.

After, we bummed around Sam’s Club for a while and found large amounts of things we would love to buy. Great stuff, as usual.

Then we stopped by Safeway on the way home. Probably bought more than I should have, but I had a sudden hankering for grapefruit. And we’re very good on cereal for a while. All in all, a pretty productive day. On with the week!
