happy monday (no really)
i'm actually excited about a monday. what was in that extra insulin i took???
when justin got up at 4:30 this morning, he emptied the tank on the portable a/c in our room and got it humming again for me. i hate being hot and i spend much of the summer with no bed covers and both a big fan and the a/c blowing directly on me, but this morning it was cool enough to have the best of both worlds - i was cool enough to pull the heavy comforter over me. why does that feel so luxurious? i don't know, but it's ideal for sleeping. plus, once justin was up, i could use his pillows between my knees and behind my back: my last two hours of sleep were nirvana.
i'm off to gd gd clinic, which - after i get past the nasty admin staff - i actually enjoy. maybe because my relationship with my ob has deteriorated somewhat, the high risk doctors seem ultra-sensitive to my anxiety, and when i meet with them feels like a 30 minute safe haven each week.
then i'm off to work, which is not great, but the co-worker i loathe took today off, plus those of us still hanging around are having a food day, and at last look the sign-up sheet was far more weighted toward things on which i can nibble than on desserts. and a food day, sandwiched between a weekend and a holiday, means no one will be getting anything done. woohoo!
after work, i get to do a little shopping: okay, refilling my gd gd prescriptions isn't exactly a barrel of laughs, but after that i'm going to go buy a tabletop grill for tomorrow and boca italian sausages and assorted other supplies for the holiday, and even grill shopping is shopping, baby!
back in 2000, we spent the weekend leading up to the fourth in boston. we ate in a tiny little restaurant in little italy and went on a whale watching cruise and laid in the grass in boston commons and talked and talked and talked and drank fresh lemonade made by a vendor in the park. on the fourth, i had to get home, and that night, as we flew from newark to jacksonville, we watched the fireworks displays of a dozen cities along the east coast from overhead. it was lovely and magical.
tomorrow, for the first time since that first fourth together, justin and i will both have the day off! the whole day! we get to sleep in a little, then go into l&d for an NST, then we're going to do all holiday things, just the two of us, no family obligations. we're going to one of the lakefront parks to grill our boca sausages and our veggie riblets and throw a frisbee and watch fireworks and maybe get in a swim. who knows - we might even take along a couple of eggs, just so we can toss them.

Toss eggs, wtf?
I remember that visit to Boston well. I walked around the park all day asking people if they knew President Fillmores first name: Williard? - I had such a good laugh. Then, that Buddhist veg restaurant situated above the adult book stores / peep shows where we watched men in trenchcoats (no kidding)and sunglasses walk in with their hands hidden in their pockets and their heads looking at the ground, or atleast avoiding eye contact. It was some sort a fung shui moment; tranquility in the restaurant and sleeze and filth in the other corner.
Your 4th sounds like it's going to be very nice and relaxing - have fun!
Have a great day. I love your attitude. Enjoy your doctors!
Oh, and I meant to comment earlier about how sad it you didn't get to go to Trader Joe's, er, uh, I mean, Trader Joe's sucks! They don't have anything good there!
but i did get to tj's! just later in the day. our house is now restocked with tj's graham crackers, which make all others seems like packing material, and other tj-alicious goodness!
