Daily Note: May 22, 2009

We're headed to Orcas this afternoon for the long weekend and I'm so looking forward to getting away. In particular, I really need to cut the apparent umbilical cord that the TV recently grew and attached to me. I love that there's no TV on Orcas and I recently found one of my old favorite trashy girl books (Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married) on the free book shelf at work. That and a book called The Last Anniversary that looks girly with just the right amount of terrible mixed with goodness. I'm bringing both with me.

I think I finally rounded the corner with this cold last night. I went to my regular doctor yesterday to make sure I don't have sinus infection. Sadly, he seemed pretty sure that I do, but he said it was early/mild and prescribed steam therapy instead of antibiotics. So I went out and bought some dirty hippy facial steamer thing and used it off and on all afternoon yesterday. As a result, I started feeling a lot better towards bedtime and only woke up twice to have a nose blowing/hacking fit last night.

Lately, I've developed a nasty habit of waking up around 2am every night and feeling STARVING. That and my hips ache, so getting up always seems like a good idea. So I wander downstairs and proceed to eat everything in sight. Then I crawl back in bed. I also made a double recipe of rice krispie treats this week and yesterday when Jeff went to cut himself a piece exclaimed, "What happened to all the rice krisipie treats!?" I felt like my Dad (notorious midnight snacker) when I had to admit that I'd eaten a whole row of them in the night. Pretty sure I've given myself gestational diabetes.

Have a great weekend! One of the things we love about our Whidbey place is the fact that it also has no television. It is embarassing how much time I have when I don't just crash in front of the tv (I am so in love with everything Bravo has to offer these days).

Hip pain is a bitch - I know this much is true. When do you take the glucose test? My midwife is expected to order it at my appointment next week. I hear that fruit punch is the best option to go with.

I've been considering making strawberry rice krispie treats. I've never had these, but they've sounded good the past week.

I'm actually welcoming the end of the tv season - I've become much to attached myself. Although I do plan on one guilty pleasure - Secret Life of the American Teenager - because it involves a baby and bad acting, I just can't look away!
