Dare i say it? I’m not sick! This is the first day all week I’ve ONLY had to take my Synthroid. No cough syrup, no allergy pill, no decongestant, no Tylenol (Yet, we’ll see how the boob progresses today), just my regular ol’ synthroid. YAY.
I left the house yesterday for the first non-medical reason in almost a week. (I’d gone to the pharmacy on Thursday, and for the biopsy on Friday.) I got showered and dressed and we got lunch and went to Target and to Borders, and I felt like a HUMAN! BEING!
I saw Jen at Borders, and while we were talking in the vestibule, a guy walked in with a newborn tucked into a KKAFP. Jen "awwwwwwe!"d and I was like "Hey! I have two of those!" (not to the guy, or anyone in particular) I was just so excited to see one in USE, I couldn’t contain myself. I can count on one hand the number of slings I’ve seen in these parts, and that was a first for the KK. I even went in and found Dave,and stalked the pouch-wearing dad to make Dave look and see how it works with a newborn. He’s tried it with the cat, but the cat hold is more of a sitting-up baby hold, not the cradled newborn one. So adorable.
After we came home and had dinner, i was still restless, so I decided to register at Target. I called my friend Jess, to see if she wanted to go (she’s been after me to register, and WANTS to go with me) but her husband was out for the evening, and leaving three kids under the age of 5 alone in the house isn’t really cool. I went, and registered anyway, and found it was anticlimactic. For one, I think they must be cleaning out and making room for new stuff, because SO much was on clearance, but nothing was so clearanced that I bought it. everything Avent, for instance, was on clearance. I could find NO first aid type stuff, or the bath seat I like, or even the cotton gowns for newborns, that have the elastic at the bottom, or drawstring, or whatever. They had some in gender specific colors, but not just yellow or white or whatever. I figure I’ll get Jess to go with me to TRU to add the things I couldn’t find yesterday. I can always add more later, if I find that everything I did last night ends up being moot. Either way, it was something to do that was out of the house.
Today I’ve been catching up on my neglected housework. Laundry is running through, emptied all the trash from upstairs, did the dishes, etc. Someday we’ll have to tackle the nursery. Maybe once I have a changing table we can start setting it up more. As it is, the crib is in there, and the dresser that was mine until we got the new furniture, and both have the collected baby stuff in there already. I need to get more of my sewing stuff out of there, and organize the shelves, but it’s so intimidating at this point! Argh.
But hey! I feel better! And Dave has tomorrow off! And my dishes and laundry are already done! So, yay!
