Oh, that reminds me: my weight is now back to what it was when I returned to Australia from Philly. One day before my birthday!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The doctor said that if she goes to term, she's gonna deliver a 10 pound baby. Poor dear!
Yikes!
If it makes her feel better, you can tell her about my aunt who had five boys, not a one of whom was under 11lbs.
She had a hysterectomy after the fifth, understandably.

Punishingly Intricate
That reminds me that my neighbor two doors down was scheduled to be induced yesterday. I hope everything went well! I saw her last Sunday and she was GINORMOUS.

The status is NOT quo.
Skippity...
The alarm went off too early. The cats got out and then didn't come in until the very last second before I needed to leave. And yet, somehow, I made it to school in 35 minutes. I'm boggled.
I'm also really glad it's Friday.

The last ultra-sound they had, the baby measured at over 5 pounds, and that was two or three weeks ago. The doctor said that if she goes to term, she's gonna deliver a 10 pound baby. Poor dear!
Ultrasound estimates are NOTORIOUS for being unreliable.
Like, routinely off by massive percentages, I don't understand why they even use them for anything other than bone length measurement unreliable. (My doctors didn't--we just got the growth information, and no guesses at the weight until I was in L&D for my induction, where they guessed using a different method and were off by a pound and a half, as they guessed 8lbs.)

The status is NOT quo.
One more mope and then I'll stop being Eeyore all over the thread. Promise.
I checked my bank balance this morning since my first paycheck with the raise was deposited this morning. The net increase in my pay was $200. Considering that I took on an extra class this year for the sole purpose of making enough extra money to start chipping away at my debt, I'm crushed. An extra $400 a month is great and all, but all it's going to do is to allow me to pay all my bills without going further into debt. It's not going to make a damned bit of difference to the debt I already have.
I'm really hoping that maybe there was a mistake and that they forgot to factor in the stipend for the extra class. It's just...I was really counting on this raise being more.
Anyway. Sorry to whine. Just a tough way to start a Friday.

Much skipping as a result. Sorry to say a lot of it was the cool christianity conversation. Love you guys! I still love the thought that Catholics aren't Christians (I laugh as a reformed Catholic).
interestingly enough, I was listening to the Kojo Nnamdi show on NPR yesterday and they mentioned the whole "christian doesn't mean fundamentalist evangelist" thing. Kojo was saying that he's episcopalian, but identifies as christian publicly and he didn't realize that a lot of people thought that he was a bible thumper.
My BFF works for an organization called Christian Relief Services. It's not religiously based at all, just "christian" in the sense of humanity, charity, etc. They refer to themselves as CRS because of the confusion.

Kojo is one of the things I miss most about living DC. And not just because of the voice.

Thrive to spite them
I feel sick, my stomach is all icky and I've already thrown up this morning. I'm at work, and I can't really afford to go home (money wise) and there's a big event today which I've been setting up for (but using hand sanitizer). I don't think I can go home, but I'm drawing the line and not touching any food just in case I'm getting a stomach virus again.
