A Myriad of Nonsense

Is there a cuter baby out there? Seriously, I just don't know! ;-)

************

Buttons on baby clothes...I mean, really? Who has the time or a baby patient enough to deal with that? I don't know why any manufacturer would use something so inconvenient.

A mother would never do that.

Being thankful.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner...wow! I have so many things to be thankful for.

1. I'm thankful for the usual things...my family and friends who help me to be the best I can be by loving me, supporting me through difficult times, and letting me know when I'm being an ass. 

2. My children, who have forever changed me for the better. They are my sunshine rays and brighten the gloomiest of days.

3. Burp cloths! So glad I had the forethought to make some. I need to make more. My girl is the spit up queen.

4. Electronic devices, without which, it would be difficult to communicate with my boys and other loved ones far away.

5. My health. I've always been relatively healthy, even through times of self-injury (ED).

6. My forgiving nature. I am very quick to forgive, but I don't forget...ever. I'm not stupid.

7. Laughter. I used to seldom laugh, but since meeting K, I laugh every day and I love it!

8. The sun...There is nothing better than a sunny day to boost one's mood.

9. Music. No need to explain. It's the cosmic dance.

10. Good, healthy foods. I've come to love food and I'm really enjoying trying new ones and new places to eat.

My car debacle continues.

I called BMV. They said I have to do a title transfer to OH before I can transfer tags. I will have to find it. If I can't find it, then I'll have to send for a duplicate and that can take 4-6 weeks, according to the website.

So, I could be car-less for up to 6 weeks!

I think I'll just focus on what I CAN do at this point. I CAN get my license changed to OH. I CAN send in my marriage license to have my name legally changed for Social Security.

At least that will be something done from my long list of to-dos and it'll make me feel better having them done.

K and I have continued our discussion about where in America we want to live. I sent him a text the other day saying here, Las Vegas, or somewhere in Florida. He said, "Funny, I wad thinking the same thing."

We're on the same wavelength, so that's great. :-)

Pros to living here:

1. Great group of friends.
2. Close to family.
3. Good niches for what K does and what I want to do.
4. There is a lot to do here...museums, shows (concerts and theatrical), great restaurants, zoo, etc. I actually like it here.
5. Close to where the boys will likely live, at least during early adulthood.

Cons:
1. Schools are not great, unless you can afford certain areas outside the city, or private schools.
2. It's gloomy and cold from October to April. I have SADD, so this is important.
3. Allergies here are horrendous.
4. Lack of cultural integration. This is a very segregated city with some racial tension. It's sad.

I'd like to travel to see different places before making a decision. It's so fun to travel with K, so it would be a blast.

Perineum update

Never thought I'd have a subtitle like that in anything I'd write!

I'm feeling even better today. Not sure its closed and don't want to risk looking. I'm itchy, for sure. The weird discharge from it had decreased significantly to only bits of charcoal colored...whatever you want to call it. I guess it is burned skin/tissue. Blech!

I do feel better though. Yesterday I actually forgot about it a couple of times. As a matter of fact, I only think about it when sitting ( I have to remember to keep my legs together. Not because of any pain), going up/down stairs, and when shifting I'm bed to feed the baby at night. All just because I have to keep my legs together so I don't pull it open.

Oh I hope this single treatment works completely! I hope on Monday she says all is well and does my pap, then sends me on my merry way.

Then, I'm good for another 3 years...I only have to have a pap every 3 because I've never had an issue. I don't know if thus will change ad I get older and I don't know if she will say otherwise...I'll do SD she suggests though.

Anyway, it is 11:30. I should probably get moving.
Cheers to another beautiful day!

Positive thought for the day:
I am confident.
