Today I'm gonna keep checking to see if he's updated the strip yet.  It just went from "New strip any.. minute... now..." to "New strip - oh fuck it, check back later."  I wonder if I missed any steps in the process.

Back at work - fuck.

Also, my wife just got a sweet Coach handbag about three months ago. It's rad. Then one of the straps started ripping and she was all "now what do I do?" and so we went back and said to the lady "oh hells no" and got a replacement.

So far the Cat Genie is working fine.

find out my best friend's family is moving to Kentucky. He and his sister are both in college, so there was nothing to keep his dad from taking a promotion which involves moving. Which is great for them, but... shit. Unless he comes to visit me, I will not see him? I don't know what the Air Force Academy's policy is on having guys sleep on your couch, but it is probably more strict than my school's.

Other than that, today I helped my mom drive some stuff somewhere, watched TV, read, and generally was lazy. later I might get coffee with this girl I met at SATs like two years ago.

Today I found out im going back to Virginia - to HSC. Fuck yea.
Now I have to solve 100 problems so I can move in... this weekend.

It is a good day to be alive.

That is so excellent!  Congrats.

Yeah!  Awesome to hear you'll soon be in a place you want to be.  I find when there are too many problems, it is better to think of them as one big problem - i.e. straightening shit out - it makes it less daunting.  You know, like a pass/fail grading system rather than a percentage thing.  I mean, sure you may find yourself sleeping on a park bench, but did you make it back to Virginia?  Yes?  Pass!

A-CAP, I'm glad to hear that things are going better for you now.

I'm going to work out, go to class, and then head up to a friend's place tomorrow night so I can ski Saturday. Skiing is a thing that I've always liked to do since I was a kid, but had very few opportunities to do recently. (see: Iraq) I usually was going only once or twice a year, but I definitely want to hit the slopes as much as possible this season. My school does cheap ski rentals and lift tickets. How cool is that?

Also, am I the only one who just types A-CAP's old screen name and trusts the filters to change it? It is not a reflection of my feelings toward A-CAP, but rather that I am a lazy person, and two more keystrokes...well, sorry.

Congrats, my invisible-hand-of-Spider-Man friend.

Second chances are rare, I'm glad that you got one.

Hells and damn yes, ennnwhy! That's some great news. I'm really happy for you. Incredible. You will somehow manage to juggle all 100 things, I just know it. Finally things are looking up for you.

I'm going to try not to rationalize talking myself into buying an Eee before I go on a business trip next week. My first business trip in 7 years.

But I really, really want one.

Linnea, I take back any expensive-handbag-related mocking.

Thank you, dahling. Please don't mock my pain. And I'm so not going to click on that link. The last thing I need is any more unrequited pining in my life.

Back at work - fuck.

WHAT THE FUUUUUUCK!!!! She gets Nabu any time she wants AND she has a Couch handbag? WHYYYYYYYYY, GOD??

Eee is the sound I will make if I see an Eee in real life. I will also microwave one of those mini Crystal Springs water bottles, pour the hot water into a mini instant ramen, and eat it with the mini rabbit-chopsticks that currently reside under the fridge while checking email.

you microwave plastic bottled water? I mean, now that I think of it, I microwave things in plastic all the time, but that just seems to be begging for a third eye. A-CAP Thinking: Ill bury a computer in my yard any day, but nuke plastic and water? Hellll no.

I'm attempting to gain mutant powers by consuming items of dubious safety such as unrefrigerated hoisin sauce, items microwaved in plastic, and old beef jerky.

Today I'm gonna tell you guys that yesterday I scheduled a labor induction for Tuesday, Jan 22.  As in, eleven days from now. 

I also had a "Oh heavens what have we done" moment yesterday in the OB's office.  Especially when he told me that she's about 8 lbs. right now. 

I'm getting those baby jitters, if you have kids you know what I mean.  "What if she has webbed toes?"  "I can't stand waiting another day"  "I'm totally not ready for this" "How am I going to survive those horrible, terrible first weeks of sleep deprivation?"  "Will she look like me?"  "What if she's ten pounds and I need an emergency c-section?"  "Maybe she'll turn out to be a boy after all, and then what will I do with all this pink stuff?"  etc etc etc.  Completely panicked, illogical, and contradictory fears about labor, birth, and parenting that result in absolute emotional exhaustion by the time of the actual birth. 

When I had Little P, we had his induction scheduled three weeks in advance instead of just a week and a half, so we had longer to obsess about these things and longer to get over them.  I remember this feeling of incredible calm coming over me as we went to the hospital, especially once I started actual labor.  It was like, "this is where you have to focus now, finally there is something you can do, and now is the time to do it." 

But until then, I'm liable to be an absolute mess.

.I'm getting those baby jitters, if you have kids you know what I mean.  "What if she has webbed toes?" 

What would be wrong with that? It would probably come along with a really good superpower.

[lprkn]

Well, I'm thinking it could go one of two ways. Abe Sapien, or the Penguin (Burton/DeVito style).

[jay-ell]

Yeah, see.  Little P didn't sleep through the night until he was sixteen months old.  I hear, however, that this is typical of kids who are atypical in the way that P is. 

I'm hoping that Hero is a little better, although given that I don't think she's slept for more than an hour since the first time I felt her move in utero, expecting her to sleep through the night (6 hours) before her first birthday might be a little ambitious. 

What I'm saying is, I'm carrying the world's tiniest insomniac.
