Tuesday: what I'm sure you've been wondering...

Why hasn't Amanda written for so long?

well, to be fair, I did write on Sunday but somehow the post got deleted and by the time I noticed it I didn't care...

This weekend I had a business meeting up in Cadillac. There was no Internet, which is why I didn't post. We got a lot of important business taken care of.




Sunday I got home and had a terribly sore throat. We went out for Fathers day with Ben's family, which was fun. Yay for fathers-in-law!!

Monday's achievement was that I managed to cut my bagel pretty well in half using a plastic knife. I've been having a problem getting my bagels cut well, so it was exciting.

Saturday: two toilets

I need two toilets right next to each other. One to throw up into and one to pee in while I throw up. My bladder control is rapidly disappearing when I throw up.

Edit: my OB told me to cross my legs. this seems like a much easier solution than installing another toilet.

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.
