You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Nanita, I'm glad you were still able to enjoy your trip.

Gronk, it's been a long day. Mom and I finally got around to looking through all of the clothes ltc got at the baby shower. There was a ridiculous amount of them, and some of them were never going to fit her at their intended time, like summer stuff that will fit her in a couple of months or a 6-9 month Halloween outfit. So, we gathered all of that kind of thing from Carter's and Target and made those returns. Both stores were great about us not having receipts, and I picked up a few cute Halloween onesies and a dragon costume for ltc. I still have a huge credit for Carter's which I'll use when I figure out what ltc actually needs.

Now, I need to be packing for our first weekend at Mom's since March, but I'm taking a break to watch last night's Arrow. It's one of TCG's late meeting nights. So, I have a long evening alone with the baby ahead of me.

IOmemeN, therapy is not going well in that I'm really not getting anything out of it, and I'm frustrated and not sure what to do.

Here is the dragon costume. I'll take pictures of her in it after I've washed it and found tights and a long sleeve onesie for her to wear under it.

And my mother didn't even complain that it wasn't girly.

Aww, baby dragon!

I have been working and working all morning (five hours now) and all I've gotten done on my to-do list is expense reports. Lots of them, plus a few things and a couple meetings that weren't on the to-do list but ugh. I really wish I didn't have to take tomorrow off to show my parents around. I need more time to work at home--I'm gone again Monday!

Thrive to spite them

I'm pretty sure you're going to break FB when you post pictures of her in that costume.

I had PT again today for my knee. Really glad I followed through with this because therapist was doing a sort of massage around my knee and hit something that caused pain but then felt better. I don't go next week because there werent' any openings but next time I go the work is goign to be in the pool. I know I have swim suit.

I still have so much to do and I'm not doing it. Tomorrow I have to call about fuel oil. Saturday the new oil tank is being put in and the furnace is being cleaned. I have dishes to wash and stuff to clean and pack and it's hard with my knee. I may just say screw it and be embarrassed by what the guy sees. I was also tring to figure out if I could last with just space heaters until I move but I think that is highly unrealistic.

OMG, all the adulting. I went back to my orthopedist yesterday and went to a psychiatrist for meds adjustment/management today. Intakes are long, man.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

My cool husband just interviewed the Keno Brothers! They are starting a high-end car auction. He said they were incredibly nice--like really warm and friendly and enthusiastic.
