Yeah, I counted wrong yesterday, so it’s actually ten days away. ALmost 9, since it’s almost 10 pm already. Uh, yeah.

I woke up this morning with a wicked pain in my left leg/hip. Not sciatic, but on the inside, where the leg meets the groin area. The bouncy ball felt pretty good, but walking did not. That, added in with the POURING rain, and knowing I’d be parking a jillion miles from my office, all added up to me staying at home until it was time for class, at which point I could park right at the building.

Before THAT, though, I actually went to the Olive Garden to sit at the bar and see Andy for the first time in WAY too long. I ordered the chicken caprese, ate a piece of chicken and the veggies, and boxed up the rest for Dave’s dinner. It was good to see Andy, and I gave him back his coat ("Figured I should give this back before we went to the car and were like ‘don’t ruin the leather seats! Here, sit on… this!") that he’d left in my car the LAST time I saw him.  After that, I went to Target and hobbled in far enough to buy shelf liner for the carseat (again, the leather seats are so slippery, that the recommendation is shelf liner to stabilize the carseat), and then to the natural food store to get more Red Raspberry Leaf tea.

Class was fine, I did a presentation on electronic gradebooks, making that one less project I have due. I still pretty much doubt that I will get the paper and portfolio done before I deliver, but I have the summer to finish up. I know that life with baby will be a whole new level of braindead distraction, but it WILL get done. Right?  Leaving class, I was full on LIMPING (totally uncomfortable chairs in that lab) and getting my bag out of the car made me yelp. Ugh.

More ball time, and dinner, and more RRL tea, and I’m about ready to turn in.  (I’m also very gassy this afternoon, hmm. I haven’t been gassy in quite a while, and maybe it’s the OG talking? Can gas be a prelabor symptom? I’ll take anything at this point.)
