So Happy It's Thursday!!! (Yes, that is S.H.I.T.)

I had a WONDERFULLY fun Wednesday. Returned Mr. Ray the guinea pig to his rightful home now that their move is complete. Left Karen with Larissa so I didn't have to hear about there being NO OTHER TEENS AT ALL at the Lawrence homeschool group while Kim, Alejandro, Isabella and I went to the community center. Two new moms, great conversation.

Picked up Karen and took her to look at frames for glasses in downtown Lawrence (was remarkably pleased and surprised when even Ms. Fashion Diva realised that $500 for a pair of glasses - BEFORE the "glass" was even added - was a ridiculous amount to pay). Stopped at Second Chance and found some cute clothes for Matthias for Christmas as well as a johnny jump-up to save this grandma's arms from his jumping bean tendencies. Got some of my favorite peppermint and oatmeal soap at The Merc as well as a couple of exquisitely yummy things from the deli.

Yes, I was exhausted when I got home. Yes, I had to get back up in half an hour to drive Karen to her voice lesson. Yes, I was probably overextending by following up with a visit to Laura's so she didn't have to get Matthias out in the cold. BUT STILL . . .

Pain and insomnia are not a pleasant way to spend a night. It seemed no matter what position I tried, I hurt. Additionally, I was being consulted periodically for choreography advice (since when am I Martha Graham??)

When I hurt, I want to eat. I did pretty well sticking to things on the approved list until about 4:00 am. Somehow all the turnips, corn, diet shakes in the world were just NOT going to provide the comfort I needed to work through the pain.

I am actually currently working on it. I have learned to write it in a wordprocessing product and THEN move it to blog. Too many weird things happen when I write from scratch online. I should hopefully post later today.
