I never get tired of answering that question. It means I get to say, "I'm tired and feeling HUGE."

Oh, that's a great answer.

Are you tired of people asking you if you're all prepared, if Owen has any sort of idea as to what's going to happen, stuff like that? I'm a very curious keyboard, and I don't get to play a lot on my own.

msbelle! people who get up way earlier than they intended to should do something fun during the time until the hour they should get up. At least, that's what this Nilly person thinks.

I am sitting with the cats and having a big glass of water (like someone else does when they first get up). I was actually hoping to "talk" with some folks in the Israel office, but they are all away from their computers.

Oh, who would go to drink water when they get up? Silly people.

Maybe the Israel office folks are out having lunch? As the keyboard, I have to avoid drops from Nilly's salad dressing as I type myself right now.

I actually got in touch with 2 of the 3 I needed. Now I shower and get dressed (it is rainy - ugh).

silly indeed.

Have a good day! And stay dry. Um, not in the shower, outside.

Thanks for all the birthday greetings, everyone!

Also, congratulations on the brown belt, ita!

Congrats ita! And you currently aren't paralyzed? So the invasive PT was not exactly right?

I get what you're saying about wanting to test for black before the block wears off, but is your goal to get a black belt, or to be a black belt? I mean, a plan of action that allows you to continue to krav would seem more appealing to me than one that nets you the belt and ends your kravability.

Not really. With a second child, everything is a bit more laid back. You know what's absolutely necessary to bring the baby home (which is really not that much). Owen's sort of oblivious at this point (and I never get tired of answering questions about him). At this point, I'm so excited and looking forward to actually having the baby that any baby-related conversation is nice for me. Not sure if it is for other people, but I've definitely got baby on the brain.

Timelies and gronk-o-rama. Again.

Thank dog I took tomorrow as a day off - I can use a random day to sleep in.

Loved Fury's 24 last night.

That is all.

There's no way I can get my black before this wears off. But I could start the black-specific training.

I don't have a plan that ends my kravability, and I don't have a plan that ensures I can train for an extended period of time. So there's no choice to be made between them. I have just this one plan, and I don't know how it's going to work out, but I'm not the sort that'll hang my hat on roses and sunshine. Especially not until this current headache goes away.
