Moving Update!

My feet hurt for the blisters on both heels.
I have multiple bruises on every extremity.
My sore back sends shooting pain down both legs.
My neck and shoulders are full of knots.
Exhaustion has rendered circles under both eyes that give the impression I've been in a fight.

And I still have work to do at the old place.

Not much, though.  I should finish up on Wednesday night.  And that can't come soon enough.

But the new house is fun!  We're still living out of boxes, but I'm determined that I will cook a pasta dinner in our kitchen tomorrow.

I love our patio, and we've already hung out there a bit during the recent rainstorm.

We had our new washer/dryer delivered and installed yesterday, and there is a load just finishing up in the dryer now.  Laundry is one of those things that makes me ridiculously happy.

DM's Spring Break is coming up next week and we'll start building our planter beds.  This is also something that makes me ridiculously happy!  Remember last summer when I couldn't stop talking about my tomatoes?  This year will be even better.  We're starting to price out upright freezers so we can put up more veggies!

There may be a housewarming party in our future.... stay tuned!

In the meantime, I'm putting my tired, sore body to bed.  Night-night.

And Now We Enter the Weepy Portion....

Maybe it's because it's Election Night and I really want to make sure that Little Homer gets a start under Obama.  Maybe the tension of it all is getting to me.

Or maybe it's just really is that portion of the pregnancy where every. goddamn. thing. is going to make me cry.

I'm also in quite a bit of pain.  Yesterday I had trouble sitting still because, well, sitting hurts.  Walking feels great.  Laying on my back with my knees up feels great (how long's that gonna last?).  Everything else feels like dung.

Went to urgent care this morning, because radiating back/hip pain was making my knees go numb.  That doesn't sound like a good thing.  I figured it was related to pregnancy, and I was right.  I get six weeks of physical therapy because the Relaxin hormone kicked in early and it's loosening up my core too much and my core can't hold itself together.  Pool therapy once a week, and office therapy once a week.  Also should look into getting a pregnancy support belt (really?  Homer is the size of a lentil and I already need the support belt?) and getting a yoga ball.  And they had me take today off work.

In food news, I've discovered that smoothies go down well.  Homer's Oma and Opa bought me a blender, and I bought myself some soy protein powder and frozen fruit.  Don't judge me if I end up having two smoothies a day, alright?

Going to continue watching election results come in while drinking a smoothie, knitting, with my knees up.  Happy voting day!
