Anyone else?
ION, 2 more days of work. Just two days...
{{{Nora}}} I'm so sorry, babe.
ION, I now have a pretty jar of "Hillbilly Bubble Bath." I damn well better get an A since this project has now cost me more than $20.
Because certainly there are people out there who get suspicious-looking bruises for totally innocuous reasons.
Yeah, I am that person.
Last spring when I saw my OB/GYN (she's very good about asking about domestic violence even if I have no bruises), I had a series of small round bruises on my arms and torso. She said "That's a lot of bruises....but unless you have a partner who is poking you really hard with their finger, over and over, it doesn't look like an abuse pattern."
I said, "Worse -- they're from a weapon."
I had taken up fencing 3 months earlier, and let me tell you, round bruises galore. Especially when you're as slow as I am.
Gronklies. The house is packed (except for the few things that I will need over the next few days).
My brain is very, very, very fried.
{{{Nora}}} I'm sorry to hear about the stressy family stuff.
People who have flown: Is there an end on the plane where you'd choose to sit over another? Back? Middle? (I'm a dork and booked all window seats because I want to see everything.)
Oh, I'm all over the window too, Lilty. Other than that, I couldn't really tell you.
I like to sit towards the front, since you don't get the claustro sardine-can effect when you're trying to get off the plane. Also, I like the window seat, since I can lean into the wall and get some space between me and the other passengers in my row.
As much as I worry about Owen's bumps and bruises, our ped reassured me that you can tell the difference. And he'd be worried about a toddler learning to walk that didn't have a few marks--it shows that he's getting out there and trying and I'm not too overprotective or afraid to let him fall.
I can't wait to see what the ground looks like as you get further away from it. (I know the novelty will probably wear off, but whateva.)
Also, I'm hoping I don't get sick. I haven't gotten motion sickness since I was a little kid, but my mom says that if I got carsick then, I will get airsick now. I don't want to!
