Instead I am having the opposite. So. tired. today. Forgive the disjointedness please.
Went out on Saturday to pick up needed items at the big Baby store such as a new diaper pail and new baby bathtub (we gave ours away on craigslist before departing for the east coast). And a car seat. And some tiny socks and wash cloths. You get the picture. Had to stop shopping because it wouldn't all fit in the car.
Yesterday we went to that birthday party, which was fun but at the same time David and I would have both loved to take a long long long nap instead. David has lost his voice, is not feeling well, and is having trouble waking up today. I just have that last symptom today. If I put my head down on my desk I'm not sure I would wake up in time to leave for my much-needed hair appointment. And my company might notice that I didn't produce anything today.
My mother came over on Saturday to help me shop (while David and step dad worked on wiring the basement offices). She thought that I had "dropped" some. But, you know, I still can't feel my cervix. But there is a doctor appointment tomorrow so I may insist on an internal check. And ask if they could please use a ruler to do it or something.
Also, heard from the homeowners insurance company today about my lost baggage claim. They are paying a good portion of it. So the question is, do I use it to replace some of my jewelry that was lost? Or do I put it towards a credit card bill? Or a little of both? I have replaced most of the day-to-day items that were lost already.
On the one hand, it would be a bit of a relief to get the credit card paid down a bit, since we put part of the last IVF on it. And my income is about to drop significantly for the next few months. On the other hand, it's not like I would ever see that money again to even make a token replacement of the jewelry that was lost. This is the only chance I'll get at that.
It is a tough choice.
Tough choice.
I think I'd take some of it and buy something nice for myself to remind you of what you lost and because why the hell not and when will you ever buy jewelry for yourself again. And then maybe use the rest to pay some bills.

Well, you don't have to decide right now. Pretty soon you will have lots else on your mind anyway!

Buy a little something, pay something towards the credit card bill, and put the rest away for a rainy day. And then, take a nap.
