whew! first good day in awhile. ive been so stupid sick the last week, and working 12 hour shifts have lost the last shred of romance they ever once held. my doc suggested sick leave, but i feel like id go wild with boredom and my weird 'i am world toughest kell' instincts wont let me give up yet. my doc says she understands i dont want to be bored, maybe thats not the biggest concern and i could get a hobby or volunteer or something. hmph. anywho, i now officially work 8 hr shifts, which should be divine, starting sunday. we'll see how long i can hold out. in other news :
+ found a new home for sketchy. her new address is winnipeg pet rescue shelter, as of june 11. im so excited to be rid of her, and to not have to do the old bag in the river trick. just kidding. i swear. when i told them her name, i was all 'but you can change it, its probably not the most marketable name', they said, oh no, we'll put her in the crate between 'spazzy' and 'freak show'. i guess theres a reason these cats wind up in shelters, all pc'ness in names aside.
+ i got furniture for my kid-to-be, that was ridiculously cheap and incredibly pretty. it just included my dad using some weird fed-ex type scheme to ship it to me. so yea. if the babe came tomorrow he could sleep in a box with his crib parts in it in the living room. i mean after the whole nicu thing.
+ 86 days till baby-due. what the shit! i'm guess the lil' rock star will show up before then tho. i got an ultrasound like 12 weeks ago and the report said 'to early to screen for anomalies' so i get another if i want it, which i decided i do. so in 3 weeks i get to see my cute kid again.
+ my stomach bug may actually be gone, which i could cry with joy from. as will the nursing students i made do all my dirty work earlier this week because i was too tired to stand up and we were too short staffed for me to go home.
+ yesterday we got some blueberries, raspberries and rhubarb from a nursery in st norbert. tomorrow we will till and next week we will plant (if it stays above zero for a few days first - what the hell winnipeg...). then garden time!! my tomatoes are taller then my knees and my okra is a foot tall. yeah!
+ chris got trip pisc today and some of them are actually nice. theres one pic of myself that didnt turn out gross (i may be cute but i am worlds least photogenic lady) and one of my belly (the only yet preggo pic of me) these are them:
