Thursday: 200 days left

Today there are 200 days left. Thats still a long time.

I feel like I popped a little bit today. My jeans suddenly weren't as comfortable...I guess only the future will tell if I'm imagining it or not.

I also made my first mess at the toilet. I made it to the toilet, but was trying to tell myself that I didn't need to throw up and so didn't have the lid open. I tried to clean it up but Ben lovingly finished as I just couldn't do it.

Thursday: work

Here I am in the clean room.

and later today I heard the following conversation. I thought it was funny.

Person 1: I'm only part-time

Person 2: Starting now, you can work every other hour. So you must go home at 2 but have to be back here at 3

wednesday: urg

Today could have gone better. I suppose it could have gone worse too. So instead I'll share one of Flurry's new favorite sitting places. I think she likes it because the pillow and blind are green, and so it matches her eyes. (Or it is far enough away from us that she won't get kicked or petted but close enough to spy on us)

Wednesday: a lime

Apparently (haha, that has the word parent in it) I have a child the size of a lime inside me. Whenever I look at pictures of the human body with the skin removed it always looks so full. How can a lime (and whatever else has grown) fit inside me and I can barely tell? I guess we're all fuller of hot air than I expected.

Tuesday: clean room

Today's excitement is that I got to go into one of the clean rooms for the first time. It turned out not to be all the exciting, but still cool. And I was a little afraid of over-heating (it's happened in the past with similar attire) but I didn't. Phew.

Monday: Amanda

There's another Amanda in the place where I'm working right now. This is one of the first times that I've had to deal with someone else having my same first name and I do not like it. There was another Amanda in high school, but I don't recall having any classes together.

What is interesting is how much of a conversation you suddenly recall over-hearing once your name gets said, even if you weren't intentionally listening and wouldn't have remembered the conversation at all if your name wasn't part of it.

Sunday: family gatherings

Today I went to a family gathering on Ben's side to meet distant relatives. I went by myself because Ben wasn't able to go, so I feel as though I should get extra bonus points for that. However, I only talked to one of the relatives for about one minute, so that probably removes most of the bonus points I just gave myself.

the food was good though!
