Holding pattern
Wow! I can’t believe it’s been almost a month since I’ve posted anything here. A long time, even for me.
It’s just that I feel mostly we’re in sort of limbo right now, waiting for the new arrival and preparing to move house a few weeks later. It is just now hitting me how crazy it is to have planned to do that. Not that we really had a choice.
Life recently has been a blur of scheduling/doing work that needs to be done on the new house, working with the landlord on showing this house (as she wants to be done with the landlord business), going to OB appointments, chasing after a busy almost-3-year-old (whose birthday will fall right in the middle of all the chaos), and sort of living in denial.
I am also roughly the size of a small rhino but lack that animal’s grace, agility and speed. I sort of lumber through the day like a half-hibernating geriatric grizzly bear. Quick to anger, but slow on the uptake.
The heat doesn’t help. At this point, all I want to do is sit in bed with a giant glass of ice water. But, for obvious reasons, this isn’t an option.
I hope to have more interesting updates soon…
