I woke up psychotic this morning. I hate it when that happens.
Heh. You might want to delay reading the e-mail I just sent you, then.
But she was naked! And all... articulate!

Do you have to wear support stockings post-op? Or do you just have to walk around lots? Hope you're healing nicely.
No support stockings, though there is something called a binder which is a lot like a maternity belt and I wore it for a day or two, though only when I walked from my room to the NICU. Now I'm almost off Vicodin (though it was sweet to have a nurse bring it to me on demand every three hours along with ice water) and just relying on ibuprofen.
I heard that if I weren't pumping milk like Bessie I would have had percocet on demand! I heart the painkillers.
Today's plan:
- start to pack up maternity clothes (seriously in the past month I've been through about 100 different sizes)
- call the fetal specialist and cancel my next appointment
- set up traffic school
- change my mailing address
- call California Child Services to see if Noah and Grace qualify for financial assistance.... they do qualify for Social Security but I guess I should wait until I know what their SSNs are before I start going down that road? Or maybe not... which means I need to call their social worker and figure it out.
- I need to buy a lamp for the living room, a table for the living room, a skinny bookshelf for the living room, a carpet for the breakfast nook, a teapot, a food trap for the sink, bottle brush
- begin looking for extra membranes for the breast pump and nursing camisoles. Seriously I need nursing camisoles.
- go to the Apple store and figure out how to make the Mini wireless capable
Ugh. any three of those things accomplished will make me feel like my day is a good one.

As long as you don't tell me that I suck, I think we'll be okay.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that sounds like a lot of stuff!
My new staff person started today. Man, orientation is hard, and I suck at it. I basically told her everything in the world just now. But then I gave her (and me!) a break to try to absorb any of it....

Pssh. I was management before! I just had a vacancy for MONTHS.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I can take you to Target or IKEA after work, Kat, iffn you want.

Jesse is MANAGEMENT! She is the MAN!
Oh! Allyson, maybe. It depends on what my doc says about the staples. Everything is waiting on staples. Sigh.
