On fire...again. Toddler sleep. Moving?

I'm awake...just me. K and baby are asleep. I think I have heartburn. I've only had it once, & that was while I was pregnant. This time is much worse. It started the moment I went to bed and is still going on now.

My chest feels very tight, like I haven't swallowed my food completely. I also have a burning sensation in my throat and chest. It hurts, that's for sure. I mixed some vinegar with water and drank that and I think it helped a little, but not sure yet. It is hard to breathe with the sensation. Upstairs I coughed and it made my throat burn terribly...so bad in fact that my eye watered like a sieve and I was forced to come downstairs for more water, which was difficult to swallow with this gross full feeling I've got going on.

I'm having a rough time lately. I've discovered I have an allergy to the cold air. I get hives when I go out in the cold, even to just walk the dog for 30 minutes. They hurt and itch and last about a day. It sucks, but I think it has helped K and I make a decision about moving or not.

We have both spent a lot of time in SoCal and have both wanted to live there. We made this decision separately before we knew each other. So we've decided to give it a shot rather than living with the woulda, coulda, should as...life's too short, right? So, our plan is to visit this fall during the San Diego convention and then save up a nest egg, pack up the essentials, put the rest in storage here, and move out there next fall for a one-year trial period. If, after a year we like it enough to make it home, we will come back and get our stuff from storage. If not, we will come back, buy a house, and make this our forever home and travel often.

In other news, baby has been sleeping much, much better. I discovered that she cut FOUR molars in a week and now has two front teeth coming in as well. No wonder she regressed with her sleeping! She is amazing and talking like mad. She says vanilla milk, made a mess, bye, dog....along with all the other things she's been saying for a while. It amazes me that she's only 17 months old.

I love that child.

I'm applying for a job. It's a legit work from home gig. I hope I get it and like it. It would be awesome to work and not have to worry about daycare. This way I can work part-time too.

Ugh. I'm hurting! This really, really sucks. No more giant burrito bowl late at night.
