It would be dishonest...
... to say that not much is happening right now. But it is nevertheless (and inexplicably) an accurate reflection of how I feel.
Slipping back into my old habits from when I was working part-time, of scheduling only a couple of errands a day, despite a lengthy list. How leisurely! I suppose caring for a baby is a part-time job, of sorts... Or at least, it favors the same kind of scheduling tactics.
I suppose I should note, then, for those only tracking through LJ, that yes, my baby daughter was born three weeks early, and we have now brought her home from the hospital, hopefully for good (blood test tomorrow to ensure that a spot of jaundice has cleared up and is not a continuing problem).
As a result, we are woefully behind on errands, as we had planned to have at least one (more likely two or three) more weeks in which to accomplish various preparatory tasks. Argh. Though given that I've cleared nine tasks and two medical appointments in the last three days, I don't know what I'm complaining about -- it's less that I've been inactive, and more that I've been quietly productive at a more-or-less sustainable pace, which is ... not a common thing for me, I'm usually (last few months of pregnancy excepted) far more driven than this.
I'm going to have to step it up anyway, but I figured we were due a few "slow" days after spending so much time at the hospital. And, you know, the whole childbirth thing.
That's okay. I have a plan....
