I have a little update about Anna. I know I'm doing the right thing, but I realized why she hasn't been sleeping in my bed.. she can't see in the dark. I turned on a soft light in the living room last night, and she came up and got in bed and snuggled with me.
And she didn't do that awful meowing, which means she was crying in distress and I didn't realize it.
So, I can offer her as much comfort as I can for the short time I have her. But really it's the best thing.
I am not a dainty woman; why, then, do I have dainty veins?
I know! I have dainty veins and (cut for girly bit discussion)
a dainty uterus. I had painful annual exams for years until I got a new gyno who looked at my record and said "this speculum is too big, we're going to try the next size down",
and then it was uncomfortable, but not painful. Thank you, Dr. T, for not judging me by the size of my hips.
{{{askye and Anna}}}
I'm glad you can snuggle with her.
Bishop Robinson was great. John asked him if it was difficult getting around Washington since he can only move diagonally. He said, "you have to remember John, there's a queen on the board as well."
I'm sorry, askye.
Shir, you have amazing cheekbones.
Uh, I missed the lunchbox because I was dazzled by the hotness of Shir. Wow!
There was a lunchbox? All I saw was a sexy smirk and beautiful eyes framed by some hot glasses. Um. I gotta whip up some more brownies. Or cookies. Or both. Maybe some cupcakes. :: shakes fist at work :: why do you keep me for so many hours?!? There are women who want my baked goods!!!
I'm laughing my ass off but I don't know how to COMM that. I can totally picture you shaking your fist and wailing about women and baked goods.
and she came up and got in bed and snuggled with me.
That's wonderful. I stress a lot when Kittenish doesn't crawl up to snuggle with me. I tend to expect both cats in their proper places or I can't really relax.
And it's lovely of you to make her as comfortable and as loved as possible but to also not make her suffer unduly.
Askye, I'm so glad there's going to be a bit more snuggling for the two of you.
Vortex, my mom gave me this advice, just on general principles:
Always ask for the smaller speculum
. She said this, as a woman who had given birth four times, twice breach, and once the kid was doubled over. I figure she must know a thing or three about what fits nicely.
There are women who want my baked goods!!!
I'm so not letting the twelve year old out for this one.
