I use SleepCycle (app) on my phone (seems to be pretty effective as long as it's very close to my pillow) and a fitbit for overall tracking, including sleep. Loves me my fitbit.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

I need governing help. Kelly and I want to create a goofy"hair splinter kit" I already have done "fashion" tweezers, tiny bandaids, Neosporin, and I'm going to get a small pack of tissues to dry up his tears. What else???

Suzi, I have no idea what that even means. What's a hair splinter?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
It's when a bit of hair gets lodged in one's skin in similar fashion as a splinter of wood. The one I had was significantly more sore than I would have expected considering how hair-thin hair is.

I use Sleep Cycle and love it. Never start my day without it!

Andi has it exactly right. C got one a few weeks back and neither Kelly nor I had ever heard of a hair splinter. C kept whining about it and we kept not believing him and giving him grief until I asked about it on FB and found out that hair splinters can, and do, happen. So now it has become "a thing" in the house.
The kit we came up with has tweezers, neosporin, tiny bandaids, tissues, advil, gold bond healing lotion, and a magnifying glass. The box we are using is pretty full at this point. I'm going to print off as professional looking a label as I can.

This is hilariously weird: when I had my annual OB/GYN appointment last week, the doctor removed my Mirena because it was a couple-few months past its expiration. I'm getting a new one, because Trump, but the office manager has to order it, so I am currently IUD-less.
All day my IBS has been particularly painful, all lower-abdominal crampy and such. Except, no, it's not my IBS. Or at least not entirely my IBS. I'm getting my first period in 10 years. TEN. YEARS. I don't even remember how to have a period. This is so weird. And also painful. I did not miss this at all.

Oh dear, I hope you get the new one soon! I don't miss periods whatsoever.

You have my sympathies, Teppy. It wasn't 10 years, but it was long enough in between periods that when I had my first one after ltc was born, I had sort of forgotten how miserable they were.

I don't miss them either. Have you read Connie Willis's "Even The Queen"? it's set in a future world in which menstruating is optional ... and some women do, indeed, choose it. For some reason.
