Well, Yule was uneventful. As a was the new year. I just wasn't feeling the holiday spirit. I can't tell if I'm depressed or ill, or perhaps a combination of both. The last few days I've felt like absolute shit and have wavered between a terrible migraine and wanting to throw up. I'm restless and exhausted and having strange dreams every time I lay ( Read more... )

Those socks are great ( ... )

My IUD is in and I've had a regular-ish period since Z was 3 months old due to her breastfeeding problems. I'm on my third day of it now, actually.

Seriously though, if I got pregnant again and had a hint of HG as it was before, Curtis and I already agreed I would have an therapeutic abortion because with how badly that fucked me up I could not go through it again, especially this close to the previous one.

Ugh. Parenting a pubescent child is a pain. I feel for you.

Z is so cute.

Love those socks. I wish I could knit worth a damn, but my knitting and crocheting always winds up too tight.

I'm glad you got through the holidays. I totally know what you mean about not feeling the holiday spirit. For New Years I stayed home and....I don't even remember what I did. Nothing special. I'm proud of you for being social. :)

Intellectually I know 8 is not incredibly young to begin puberty, but considering I didn't even start until I was at least 12 (and I didn't have hormonal problems or anything), the idea freaks me out a bit. I mean, I remember a four- and five-year-old Tempest running around without any clothes....wasn't that just, like, yesterday?

I don't have any direct experience with children on the autism spectrum, so I can't say I understand the worry about emotional maturity being behind. But I can understand that it's scary. *hugs*

I was so mad that conversing with him now requires a two drink minimum.

This made me laugh. Reminds me of converdations with my 5-year-old nephew.

Those socks are AMAZING. I love the...lacework?...on the top. I've always been astounded by the ability needed to knit socks.

*hugs tight*

Happy new year, BB. What has it been now... like, 16 years? Damn. Oh hey I used your return address to send you a card.

Socks: I've done a few pairs now and sock knitting varies A LOT between patterns. These ones were pretty easy and the heel was actually quite reasonable, whereas the "Twisted" socks I did earlier this year were a pain in the goddamn ass and I hated doing them. The "lifestyle toe-up socks" were easy and fun to do and would be a pretty good pattern for a newbie (they were my first intro to socks). They knit amazingly fast on two circulars.

13 years, I think. Geez, hard to believe. I'm glad the box arrived, I was starting to wonder.

I don't think I'm up to socks yet, the only things I've managed to knit are scarves and baby hats. And I never did get the hang of circular needles.

I started puberty around 7-8 and I remember being SO self-conscious about my body that I would take baths with my underpants and a singlet on, and made sure the door was locked. (Why didn't I ever think of a bathing suit?! Heh). I'm already terrified of going through puberty from a mother's side and our child isn't even born yet. I think its a good thing to just let her have the space and privacy she needs. I hope you can find a way to work through it all together which will suit her needs too.
