SO glad to hear Buffistas are being not only inventive but responsible. I've heard stories of people using tables in fast food restaurants (as in, where people eat) to change their babies. ick ... and I once saw someone using the folding table in my building's laundry room; these days I carry a paper towel saturated with cleaner and scrub the table down before using it.

I have my new computer! It took forever to set up, but it's working now.

And now I'm sleepy and achy. I have no idea why. I had a fairly normal day today -- work, then computer store, then grocery store, then home -- but my body feels like I ran a marathon or something.

Good to read the Mom report, Daniel. May her recovery continue at a brisk pace.

I went to work. I tweaked my knee again.

I called the doctor they can see me...next Thursday. With the doctor and not the nurse practioner and I think the doctor will be like "why aren't you seeing the NP?" (that's happened before) so I may call back and see if I can schedule with the NP. Right now it's elevated and I took the brace/sleeve thing off because it's neoprene and making me sweat. Not sure if ice will help but I may try that later.

I feel that I should clarify that in my story about changing Mal on the workstation of the bitchy United Airlines person, I did in fact use my foldable changing pad.

But I still threw the dirty diaper in the trash bin there. Because where else could I throw it? We weren't allowed to leave the area until the UA woman got done with her break and lunch and phone calls and whatever else, and there weren't any bathrooms.

And certain things happen to people during descent - adults fart and babies are a bit more productive.

I apparently slept right through my alarm and missed an appointment to have more fluid drained from my abdomen. I feel terrible because they had squeezed me in, plus I feel terrible because I'm puffed up like a penguin. Now they have to make an appointment at a hospital, rather than Kaiser, which sucks. Someone was supposed to call me back ASAP about that. It's been two hours and I don't have any number to call back.

Ugh, Ginger. I'm sorry.

Confession we did actually change ltc on the table after the shower, using a changing pad. However it was after the guests had left and the tablecloths were going to be changed for the next party.

I have Nicole and her DH ariving tonight. Be very jealous. Sadly ltc has required lots of attention today so my house is still a disaster. TCG is due home in 20 minutes to take me and ltc to my post baby doctors appointment and I still have to get us both dressed. That is, if this current feeding ever ends.

my house is still a disaster

It's a house with a new baby in it, anyone who quibbles about your housekeeping in that situation is very silly.

Ugh Ginger, that's a bummer
