It's quarter to five on Wednesday and I should do a few things before I head home, but I thought I'd check here to see if there was anything new. . .

Today feels oddly like Monday to me, since I took a sick day yesterday. Nothing baby-related, so no worries there. I ate fresh pineapple for breakfast, which ordinarily I love, but this time it gave me heartburn and an acid stomach. Also, our (new in October) furnace had a problem with its relay switch, causing it to make obnoxious noises all night, causing me to be utterly exhausted. The two things together induced me to take the day off. It was fabulous to be home. I went back to sleep for a little while, read/sorted through a stack of magazines, made homemade beef stew in the crockpot, watched the State of the Union (and fell asleep) and went to bed earlier than normal.
