Oy!
I'm pretty run-down and generally not feeling well; haven't been since yesterday evening :( I actually took a photo last night, because I realized I hadn't done that in a few weeks, and I look *horrible* in it. You can totally tell I'm exhausted.
I've gone to bed early …

Hurrah!
It was a sunny day out today, and not so cold; and Carl worked from home today. All of which is to say that it's toasty in our apartment right now. Yays!! :)
A slightly longer post
I'm taking a break (well, haven't even started yet) from the unpacking. (So many boxes, so little time!).
I had an interesting conversation with a coworker today; it's more just something that's been on my mind that I wanted to get feedback on. You see, I think …

Ahh, old houses...
I'd forgotten what it was like to live in an older building. The wiring for our apartment is a little screwed up- the kitchen, half of the living room, and the entry room/part of the hallway are all on one breaker.
I've managed to trip it so many times in the last few …

Simple Solutions
My general solution to the lack of feeling safe issue was solved to some degree last night. Part of it, I'm sure, was just being too exhausted not to sleep, but the other part involved a lo-fi alarm system consisting of pop cans stacked by the doors. (Many thanks to …

Help from unexpected places
Okay, so I've totally slacked on packing tonight and will pay for it in the morning, when I'll have to keep packing even after all the boxes have been moved. But in any case, I was very happily surprised this morning to realize that I think we'll actually have enough …
Bus drivers and hormones don't mix
I had the most awful experience coming home today, which was probably entirely hormonal. Anyway, I know that on a normal day, this particular incident wouldn't have left me in tears for an hour afterwards, but you know, I'm apparently swimming in estrogen right now, so …

Weird night
My mom called me tonight- and you know when your parents call late at night that it tends not to be so good- it was almost 9 p.m. here- so after their bed time.
She'd been putting it off, but told me that she was laid off from her job this week. She's worked at the bank …

Thoughts on pregnancy after infertility
I haven't had the desire to process by writing too much; busy packing boxes and all. But I was happily surprised to find two communities dedicated to pregnancy and parenting after infertility via another friend's post (http://community.livejournal.com/inf_mama/profile'">http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif'" alt="'[info]'" width="'16'" height="'16'" style="'vertical-align:" />http://community.livejournal.com/inf_mama/'">inf_mama and http://community.livejournal.com/finally_fertile/profile'">

An ode to Tylenol
I'm feeling pretty terrible today, actually :/ We helped a friend move yesterday and I felt fine for most of it, but by the evening, I realized that I had managed to make my back a little sore. Then last night we went to Carl's work party at the Museum of Flight, which …

Update from the Land of Crazy
Life definitely hasn't slowed down any, unfortunately. Work is a bit of a madhouse right now; I had back to back meetings on totally different things that fried my brain, and tomorrow is going to be about the same.
I think we're officially moving into the new apartment …

i hope that everybody can find a little flame
Life has been going at hyperspeed lately, or at least it seems that way.
We signed a lease on a new apartment yesterday- 1400 square feet closer to Fremont. I'm stoked, and have totally caved in to buying design magazines and doing other nesting-y things. It's funny, …

A day off
It's another gorgeous day in Seattle, and today I'm hoping to convince myself to get out of the house a little more than I did yesterday- though we did go over to a friend's to assist with the brewing of another batch of mocha porter.
Still, when it's 50 degrees and …

Oh hey
It's been a while since I updated, huh? There's a lot of stuff going on. That, and my brain is foggy.
I keep running across stuff that I've forgotten to do or details that I've ditched along the way, and it's seriously starting to drive me crazy. Last week, I …

Oh yeah...
I keep forgetting to make an LJ update- I know some of you are on Facebook and Flickr, but not all of you.
We had the 20-week ultrasound today (though we're only 18 weeks and 4 days). This one tells you what the sex of the baby is, and though it was a little difficult …

Shortened Seattle Trip
My friends all managed to make it here, by plane, train or automobile, and we had a lovely weekend catching up with all of them. I wrote about it on Metblogs, and so I'm a little too tired for another full write-up, but we had a blast.
Besides, a picture's worth a …

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain...
There's tons of rain in Washington (I know, it's raining in Seattle, shocking)... but it's rained so much and had so much snow melt in the last week that the rivers are flooding. The rivers have flooded so badly that I-5 has been closed for 20 miles near Centralia; …
Overwhelmed
I'm exhausted today- the windstorm last night kept me up half the night, thinking that the cat was getting on or under the tarp on our futon.
We have to keep it covered so she doesn't pee on it. It's washable, but it's a real pain to take it off and get it back on, and …

So much waste
I've got a ton of stuff I should or could be doing- instead I've now reached the "hit refresh" stage of web surfing, and yet I don't quit and do something useful like cleaning the house more for the guests we have coming tonight or later in the week.
I have two …

Coffee tour of Seattle
Alright, guys- http://rumblebrumble.livejournal.com/profile'">http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif'" alt="'[info]'" width="'17'" height="'17'" style="'vertical-align:" />http://rumblebrumble.livejournal.com/'">rumblebrumble is coming to visit this weekend, and wants to have coffee... and lots of it. So, I'm polling the Seattleites for best coffee spots.
On my short list already are:
Zoka in Tanglewood (which she's already been to)
Zeitgeist in Pioneer Square
