The advice he got was to go to the game, of course. Those of us who have the wisdom gained from years of experience know that a baseball game is more important than class.

My 2 cats, who normally hate each other, are currently "hiding" under the comforter right next to each other. I'm dying to put my head under and look but they are already scared, so I'll be nice and leave them alone.

ION, I booked an appt with my hairstylist! I'm stealing your haircut, Posh Spice!

Cocoa Puffs:

Is it weird that I like the way the black pedicure looks when it starts growing out? There's something kinda cool about fucked up black nail polish.

Where the hell is everyone??? Don't you people know I need entertainment???

Don't you people know I need entertainment???

I missed this, somehow.

It's in the F2F thread.

Back from the hospital after an unscheduled visit. JZ thought the Halloweenie wasn't moving enough so they had us come in. Two hours, a sonogram and heart monitoring later - everything is fine.

Unintended consequence? Automatically added another week to bedrest. (Because they don't seem to actually assign bedrest based on a medical evaluation, but rather whenever the next appointment is. This unscheduled visit bumped our regular appointment on the 30th back by another week. Just like that.)

Fuck. On a scale of Zen Calm to Crazed Hillbilly my cabin fever is escalating towards Appalachian. (It all being compounded by the fact that Emmett's camp is done and he's with me all day until school starts next week.)

Emmett was a trooper, though and watched the sonogram with interest. Almost worth it for that.

Aw shit, Hec. I'm sorry.

Fuck. On a scale of Zen Calm to Crazed Hillbilly my cabin fever is escalating towards Appalachian.

And how is JZ doing?

Aw, Hec, babe. Sorry to hear that. Can sort of relate...not completely, obviously, but you know.I *do* get cabin fever a lot.

And how is JZ doing?

She's fine. Reassured after the sonogram and heart monitoring. She was happy to get out of the house. We're on for weekly sonograms now, so she'll have that outing to look forward to.

Actually, once Emmett goes back to school on the 30th, I'll be able to go to a local cafe and write, but be close enough to scurry back if Jacqueline needs me. By Sept 6th we'll see the doctor and can lobby to get off bed rest.

It's only bugging me so much because the original bedrest was going to be two weeks and then an evaluation. They pushed it to three just because we already had an appointment then. And they just pushed our appointment back by a week again because of this visit. At no time have they made another medical evaluation about the bedrest. We're just sliding around on their appointment book.

It's frustrating. I was planning on having Aug, Sept and most of October to get the bulk of the book done. That's not happening right now. By October my unemployment will run out and we'll have a baby so...back to work plus sleepless nights are in my future.

Anyway, everytime I see a sonogram the Halloweenie just looks exceptionally healthy and strong. And it was good for Emmett to see her. He was very curious about the sonogram.

Top priorities are JZ's health and the baby, of course. But they're both fine. Nothing at all has happened since the abruption.
