Interrupted
My Life Thus Far
Goodbye Helena
Helena left this morning. She saw Annie off to school, fed
Kiki breakfast and then headed out. It's weird not having
her here. I actually miss her! I'm not devastated about
her leaving, but she's a nice lady and I'll miss her
company (sometimes) and her help (all the time). I feel a
little bad for her that she came all this way and did all
that work for me and she didn't even get to see Keenan.
Which gave me an idea and a reason to leave the house.
I'm going out here in a few minutes to pick up photo
paper, a color cartridge (ran out of ink months ago) and
baby announcements. She may be up with the times on most
things, but I still think a good old fashioned
announcement might be something she'd like. Definitely
Sue, she's as old fashioned as they come. Plus, it'll give
me something to do when I'm home recuperating once Keenan
is finally born. I won't get a ton of announcements, but I
can think of a few other people that might like one. I'm
going to stop by the Commissary for a few things I need
(diapers for Kiki, soap, pantiliners, etc.) that I didn't
feel comfortable telling Helena to buy. Food is another
story, but my personal care items are none of her concern
and diapers are too expensive for me to feel comfortable
asking her to pick up.
I kind of feel like a weight has been lifted now that
Helena is gone. No more pressure for Keenan to come. If he
doesn't, he'll be forced out this weekend, but I'm not
counting down the days until Helena leaves anymore. I feel
bad, but what could I do? I can't will him out and there
isn't any home induction method safe or effective I was
willing to try. Other than sex, but Snookums strongly
objected to that one :) For obvious reasons. I need to go
for now. Man, I do feel better, though...Ciao!
