Almost Scared To Open My Eyes

****

Today was a great day. Really. I had fun. Yesterday was a
good day too, but because my monitor decided to die on
Wednesday night, I didn't have access to my dear diary to
share. I've missed far too many days to even attempt to
recap, but I think I'll be more regular from now on.

Yesterday morning when I opened my eyes, I WASN'T
nauseated! I didn't feel the need to head straight to the
bathroom and hover for a few moments until I regained
control of my stomach. I felt fine. In fact, I was able to
get the girls ready, myself ready, all three of us out the
door with time to spare. I was so pleased! You take
advantage of your good health, until you haven't had it
for awhile. I seriously feel like a whole new world is
open to me now that I'm not ready to hurl every 5 minutes.
Finally, I can even reconnect with my friends, whom I've
been ignoring (unintentionally) for the past month and a
half. I'm surprised I still have friends.

When I woke up this morning I was almost scared to open my
eyes. For fear that the dreaded morning sickness was back.
But, I was brave (mainly because I had to pee) and I did
it. All was fine in the world when my feet hit the floor.
My stomach didn't follow! I'm inclined to believe that
creation of the placenta is complete and all the wiring
has been switched over. I'm no longer making hormones for
two. Allen Baby #3 has it's own hormone factory.

I talked with Gen yesterday and we decided to get together
today and do something. It's been so long since we last
hung out. I don't count the days she sat at my side as I
lay dying on the couch. That couldn't have been any fun
for her. I know it wasn't for me. Today we did lunch at
Olive Garden. I've been craving the soup, salad,
breadsticks lunch, so I figured today was my chance. I
find that eating lighter keeps my stomach happier. Heavy
meals are just not a good thing.

After lunch, we stopped by Best Buy. As I mentioned in
paragraph one, my monitored died. Maybe because I didn't
shut if off for 9 months straight? Maybe. But what do I
care, it was covered for 3 years! So, I took it in,
thinking they would fix it, but instead they just gave me
a new one. Any one I wanted! After much deliberation I
settled on the 19" LG Flatron Wide. I could have gotten
the 22", but my intuition told me it wouldn't fit on the
computer desk. I was right. It wouldn't have. The 19" fits
beautifully. It looks like a big tv sitting on the
computer desk. It's going to take some getting used to.
The only thing I don't like about it, which I didn't know
at the time is that it doesn't have speakers. I have no
sound now. Which isn't major. But, it's slightly annoying.
Now we need speakers. Who makes a monitor with no sound?
Is that legal?

Gen and I parted ways after that. I stopped in at work to
give Tamara my black Soho tote. She doesn't own a Coach
bag and wanted to borrow it for the Victoria's Secret
Fashion Show. She's really psyched about getting to go
this year. I'm not using it, so I why not make her happy?
My act of charity for the year? I'm kidding. Tamara could
afford one if she really wanted it, I'm sure.

At 3:30pm I had a date to meet a friend of mine at
Starbucks in Port Orchard. It was weird being back in Port
Orchard, because I haven't been back in town since we
moved. I don't miss it, but I enjoyed the time I lived
there. Everything about our life revolves around
Bremerton/Silverdale. Our gas tanks can vouch for that.
We've had about a 75% reduction in our fill-ups. We did
our part for the environment :) I've filled the Impala up
a grand total of 3 times in the past month an a half. It
does help too that I don't work as much either. Pala
spends a good bit of her time parked.

Snookums has duty tomorrow. So, I think I might surprise
him and get some pictures hung around the house. It's the
only thing that didn't get finished after we moved in.
We've tinkered away at it, but I'm feeling ambitious. I
shouldn't get myself too worked up about it, or it might
not get done. We'll see. Ciao for now!
