Sunday Stream of Consciousness

You guys. I do not want to go to my clinical tomorrow. I really, really, really don’t. I obviously don’t want to be sick, but seriously, I’d like to fake it to take a day off. I am over it now, 16 weeks is too long to be somewhere other than a paying job. I know I still have stuff to learn, but the more I’m there the more I realize I don’t want to be. This setting is not for me and I still have eight. more. weeks.

My uterus has been occasionally better this weekend. I think sleeping and relaxing are the key. Even more reason to not go to work tomorrow. I cannot do either of those there. In fact, I do the opposite. I spent half my day chasing kids and getting up and down off the floor.

My husband’s cat doesn’t move all day long except to move her two stuffed animals into whatever room we’re in. Even if it means carrying a doll that’s probably 1/3 her size, in her mouth, up and down stairs repeatedly. She’s so helpful, and admittedly, very cute.

If you leave >10 comments on the same post on someone’s blog in under an hour (if no one is replying), you might be a crazy person. I’m just saying.

My lips are out of control dry right now. I’ve not been so great with skin care this past week and it is seriously showing. And now I’m out of my body wash too. I’m literally so lazy that instead of stopping in a store that’s on my way home from work, I’m going to order the body wash off the internet and pay for shipping. This might be a new low.

The same laziness has me *this* close to using the check app to deposit checks, but there’s something about assuming a picture of a check is a valid way to deposit it that scares me. So instead, I’ll keep carrying months old checks in my purse in case one day I accidentally drive into the bank.

Tomorrow we’re having red beans and rice for dinner, because I didn’t get my act together to make them for Mardi Gras last week. They’ll still be delicious.

My cat has taken another baby toy hostage. I have tried burying it in a bag with other toys and hiding it in the depths of the crib and at least 5 times in the past 3 days he has found it and removed it from the crib. It’s currently sitting in my bathroom, because obviously.

I love awards shows, but the Oscars very nearly bored me to death this year.

I am headed home for this coming weekend to visit family. I haven’t been home since Christmas and otherwise wouldn’t be back until my baby shower next month and I just decided it would be nice. Plus, my husband is working on like 3 different work projects, so he’ll need the space and the quiet. And because I love spending as much money as possible on gas. Thank God I have a little car.

Have I mentioned yet how much I don’t want to go to my clinical tomorrow? No? Oh, in that case, SO MUCH.

  • Dude, drugstore.com has free shipping on orders over $50 (or over $25 if it’s your first time shopping there) AND you can use eBates to get cashback (currently 6% but around holidays and stuff it can be as much as 12%, which if you’re me is VERY EXCITING STUFF). That sounds like a lot until you realize they sell EVERYTHING. I know, I sound like an ad or something, but no, I’m just super-lame, hate leaving the house unnecessarily, and love saving money. If you don’t already do eBates I have a handy-dandy signup link on my sidebar where I get a kickback if someone signs up, but really I’m just pointing it out because this could be a big help after the baby comes while you’re healing up from the birth.

    I’ve been fake sick for two days now. My clinical is really not my thing either, even though I thought the setting would be perfect for me. I still have 7 weeks to go and it makes me SICK to think about it. It’s somehow good to know that such things don’t only happen to me. I hope it’ll get better for you, Katie. My coping strategy might sound totally silly, but I’ll tell you anyways. I always imagine the last morning of my clinical, how lucky I’m gonna feel or how I’ll step out of the hospital thinking “It’s done!”. Always helps me a little.

    Check out Alice.com They offering free shipping all the time with a minimum purchases. They have tons of stuff from cleaning products to drugstore items to snacks stuff, etc. Also, Peapod for groceries will be great to try when the baby comes. For new customers they offer free shipping for 60 days.
