Thoughts on a Thursday Morning
Aug. 18th, 2016 07:07 am- I'm so glad we can open the windows in the morning and cool down the house. I've been obsessively checking the weather every day to make sure it's supposed to cool down and stay down this next week, because the over 90 business was miserable.
- I would not recommend being pregnant without central air. I hit the HOT ALL THE TIME part of pregnancy right when we got here, which has been difficult. We broke down on day three in the house last week and got a portable a/c unit which was brilliant, although you have to sit right next to it to feel cool. It's also a dehumidifier and it's been filling up the bucket multiple times with water every day. After living in the desert, it feels like such a waste to pour all that water down the drain, but it is literally raining hard every day.
- Everything is so GREEN. Honestly, too green.
- We have, best case scenario, two months left before baby and I'm a little freaked out. There's just so much to do. And that's just with the house. I work all day at home, but haven't had the time I thought I'd have to open boxes, put shit away, and clean. And work is about to get very very crazy as we just picked up a contract due at the end of September and we have two other deadlines for Oct 1. At least I'll be staying busy, but there goes my plan to keep one eye on email while I make the house pristine.
- I'm turning 30 at the end of this month. I have no idea how to celebrate and keep thinking I should do something amazing but it's hard to beat moving across the country, buying a house, and having a kid. Maybe something childish instead? Idk. I haven't had the bandwidth to even think about it.
- I haven't had time to read or write or art or play ukulele and I really, really need to start doing all of those things again, if only to stay sane.
- I also need to find friends here.
- Lady and I spent 10min on the front porch last night watching the fireflies with the cats and it was magical and for the first time I was sad we'd be leaving before Lady Jr could form some real memories here.
