| My daughter is in her room, on the phone with her grandfather. I'm enjoying the rare alone time.
I don't have too much going on today. I need to make a run to Lowes later on and pick up some things to continue my spare bathroom remodel. So far, I've removed the old vanity, sink, mirror and towel bars. I peeled the wallpaper down and filled most of the holes in the wall. I put the new vanity/sink in place, but it still needs to be levelled and secured to the wall and the plumbing reattached. My next focus is the walls. I need to finish filling the holes, sand if needed, prime and paint. I haven't chosen a paint color yet though. I want to do two different colors, with a border of narrow wall tiles in between. I have to at least paint the bottom half of the bathroom before the vanity/sink can be secured.
Woot.
The house is coming along nicely. Maybe not as quickly as I had hoped, but oh well. It's not like we have a deadline for it all to be finished.

| Apparently I forgot/was unable to update my pregnancy 'status' on Gerber.com. This morning I got a cheery e-mail from them, subject line 'Congratulations! Your baby is here'
Thanks
Initially I deleted it, until I realized that they'd only continue to send monthly 'Your baby's stage of life' e-mails.
Fuck
I opened my e-mail trashcan and retrieved the letter of congratulations
I had to open the pastel demon and scroll to the bottom, passed advertisements for breast pumps and picture frames in the shape of baby food jars (NEW! Baby Flavor baby food!) in order to get to the 'unsubscribe' button. This button takes you to the Gerber.com web site so you can update your profile. Due Date: March 3rd, 2007. I tried setting it back to 'Month', 'Day' and 'Year', but it wouldn't accept it. There is no 'Lost the baby' box that you can check.
I found the box to opt out of future cheery e-mails, clicked it, and closed the page. Deleted the e-mail. Went into my e-mail trashcan once again and clicked 'Delete Forever'. Yes, it was absolutely necessary to ensure thorough deletedness.

| We're buying a house!
I just thought you should know.
Our proposed closing date is January 31st.
Woot! | | |
| We're thinking of getting one for the Jeep before we move. Have one you'd recommend?? Or even one you'd advise against?? | | |
| You may be wondering why I took the 24 hour time release pain pill that made me so miserable yesterday... Then again, you may not care. Either way... this is why..
Sunday night my chest started to hurt - right in the center, on my sternum. I took Ibuprofen, but it didn't help. I ended up putting a heat pack on it and going to sleep. I was fine when I woke up in the morning.
Monday afternoon, around noonish, we were attempting to drive to Capitola when my pain came back. the pain quickly got worse and soon my back and neck were hurting as well. I couldn't reach for anything or turn my head without a great deal of pain. I took some Excedrin and that did nothing. I called my doctor's office and they said to go to the ER. Yay. Just how I wanted to start my week.
I went to the ER and got my very first chest X-ray and EKG. Fun times.
When all was said and done it was determined to be musculoskeletal. I have no idea how it happened though. The ER doctor gave me Vicodin and sent me home.
The Vicodin didn't work, so I told my regular doctor and he upped my dosage and gave me something else to take at night (the 24hour evil). I took the double dose of Vicodin and got to feel like I had a massive hangover for the next 4 or so hours. It was pretty pitiful. Winter did her best to take care of me. She brought me water and covered me up with a blanket and laid with me.
I took the time released evil that night and you know how that went..
I think I'll stick with ibuprofen today and deal with the pain. Narcotic pain killers are pure evil in pill form.
