I have seen more vaginas in the last 2 weeks than ever in my life. I don't know what weight that's supposed to hold like I'm saying, YOU GUYS...I've seen so many vaginas in the last 2 weeks...more than ever...and YOU KNOW I've seen a LOT of vaginas in my day. I wasn't really saying that just.. I mean..I definitely know I'm super normal now. I've seen less than normal and I'm doin' a'ight. Good to know!! I'm learning to check cervical dilation and it's hard.
I took that picture at Beebs' birthday party. It was such a lovely day. We were at Shawnee Mission Park and across the way there were some people LARPing. aha. When googling that term, Kansas City comes up like first. So is that just a local thing or that's just what it's called around here?? Anyway, I took some photos but feel like I can't share them? I mean can I??
Tomorrow going to look at more houses. blah blah.
For weeks now Beebs has been singing "Yeah yeah..backagain..yeah yeah" and I had no idea what in the hell she was doing. I know, if you don't have a kid this is like yeah ok whatever lame but you know, she just turned 2 and her talking is just growing and improving and changing and so it's always sort of awesome when it gets easier to communicate with her, like stringing a few words together and whatnot. Anyway, she sang that along with the radio the other day and I realized she was singing Pearl Jam's "The Fixer." heh. She also likes to sing Matisyahu's "One Day." Fascinating, I know. She's sweet. I don't know, you'd like her. She's generally fun to be around.
Every afternoon at work I start feeling like shit. I don't know what that's about? I don't know if it's just basically dehydration?? Stress? Every single day I've been taking Excedrin in the afternoon and I hate that. I shouldn't be doing that.
Overwhelmed on Labor & Delivery -- stressed -- my preceptor and I don't mesh well personality-wise.
We got rid of a couple of chairs we had on our porch -- they were chairs this awful person in my mom's life had given her years ago and those chairs were just bad mojo, man. For some reason I had trouble getting rid of them even though I wanted to and then when Beebs and I went to visit my mom, Roommate got rid of them and I'm so glad!! It made so much more room on our tiny little back porch and it purged some of that disgusting negative bleh I felt when I looked at them. He told me that getting rid of those and getting these 2 new plain old folding lawn chairs has greatly improved his quality of life. He likes to sit out there now. Sitting is nice.
I'm just worn out three twelve-hour shifts in a row just WEARS me out!! I know that might make me sound super wimpy but..whew. Tired. Much prefer it to working five eight-hour days though!!
Pregnancy is cool, guys. (speaking in general, I'm not pregnant) I like it. I like this baby birthin' stuff, I think.
What have you been up to? Tell me something good to cook. We've been just eating these rag tag dinners. Not all bad, for sure. Last night I ate toast with avocado smashed a bit with lemon and salt. (thanks, S) Delicious! Even better that the avocados cost 39 cents! Thanks, Aldi.
Ok, shoot. I'm so tired. Tomorrow I'm going to sleep in as long as possible with Beebs. I hope you're having a good week and that Friday is great and you have rest coming in your future. I'm thinking about vacations (will we ever take one?!!) and sunshine and riding bikes and painting my fingernails blue and planting lavender in my own yard, please? at some point? and also chamomile tea and washing my face with sugar like S. told me and drinking that tea or putting it on my face and thinking BRILLIANT!!
I want to go to whole foods and get some of that john masters blood orange lotion I read @thehils talking about on twitter.
Gah, snot is literally running down my face. I better go!
Thanks for reading my drivel. while I dribble.
xo
Thanks for teaching me a new word. Larping, eh? You should have shared the pictures. I can't imagine working a twelve-hour day. I have worked a few ten-hour days for overtime when I was young, but that was longer than I wanted to work.
ReplyDeletei had that nose experience a week ago. it's settled into a "not going anywhere" infection that i can feel in the part of my nose that doesn't blow out or sniffle up … moderate lung gunk and signs of ear infection (dizzy and nauseous) … same as a couple of years ago. bleh.
ReplyDeletei spent some time in recent months on the planned parenthood site … where there's "am i normal?" cartoony educational slideshows about different kinds of penises and vulvas. (i went there because their weekly email to me talked about having some new videos — truly ridiculous but perhaps effective cartoons about how to use condoms).
i think most of us don't really consider that if most of our body parts look really different from other people's, then of course those parts would, too. my knees are unique, right? : )
everyone's ears are fairly similar, but there is still a lot of variation if you spend time staring. we're just not used to seeing lots of naked people; and the ones hollywood shows us are standardized. playboy has some variety, i've noticed, even if it is airbrushed; you can't change certain things … though i've read that vulva surgery is growing in popularity. crazy; we condemn the africans for FGM and then go and sanction it on ourselves in the name of "beauty." mostly in the name of making some plastic surgeon money.
i think larp is funny. it's nice to see adults playing, though. like at city museum in st. louis. it takes guts to larp, i would think. lots of room for ridicule. i think you could post your pics if folks were not identifiable. anyway, they were in public and all's fair in big brother / free speech land. up to your personal sense of respect, i guess. and they probably noticed you taking pics; if they didn't complain, they are likely to expect the pics to show up somewhere. i think only tagging them in facebook would be mean. blogs, though, are less dangerous.
