Feb. 12th, 2016 10:29 amWarning: Pregnancy update. Starting...
I am so tired. It doesn't matter how much sleep I get. By 10, I'm ready for a nap. By 2, I'm a zombie. By 5, well.
I am not terribly hungry or nauseated, but if I don't eat enough I get light-headed and have fun heartburn and burps. It's kind of weird, but entirely manageable.
/end update
Lady just got turned down by Oxford, which is a weird sort of relief. To recap, she applied for a postdoc there a bit ago and they decided to interview her last Wednesday. It was a little funny because at first they were like, can you come to this specific place in the UK? And she was like, howabout Skype? And they were like, oooh.
Apparently they passed on her because she doesn't have the skill set required, but I suspect it's also because they didn't realize she was out of country and probably didn't want to pay the rehousing. :)
Anyway. It's a relief because I think we would have turned it down anyway. Very little pay for a very expensive city and Lady's not even very excited about what they're doing. Also, we both still have our hopes set on France.
Which, weirdly, we still have a chance at. Three chances, even. It may seem crazy to continue pursuing this when we've had two previous chances torn away, but we both really, really want this. I just hope third (fourth [fifth]) time's a charm and we don't look too foolish.
