fit and spurts
these past couple of weeks i've been exhausted, a lot. there are times during the day when i can barely keep my eyes open, and lying down on the couch is just about all i can manage. which stinks, because there's a lot of stuff i want to get done before mr. baby arrives. luckily, the extreme exhaustion seems to come in fits and spurts, which means that occasionally, i have about an hour span of time where i feel relatively energized, and i get a ton of stuff done during that time. sometimes, i do it stupidly and end up overdoing and exhausting myself even more, but these periods of energy have been really useful.
in the past few days i've used them to:
* wash and dry all the baby clothes/toys/blankets, and put all of these and other baby gifts away in the baby's room
*wrote and sent out almost all of the thank you cards for baby gifts received thus far
*cleaned the house (vaccuum, some windows washed, etc.).
*organized/straightened several areas of the house i've been meaning to get to for ages
*packed my hospital bag (lacking a few items, but they're things i don't own yet, so nothing i can do about that just yet)
*completed or nearly completed several craft project gifts i've been working hard on for a long time (one of which was a HUGE project)
not bad for someone who just wants to nap all day long :)
