Sick

Spent the afternoon on the couch after trying to get to work for a couple of meetings in the morning. I forget that work really can go on without me. I should have spent the whole day resting. Sinus problems, of course. Hopefully it will not turn into a sinus infection.

My friend had her baby on Tuesday and another told me she was pregnant on Monday. Someone asked me "how are you feeling about that?" Hmmm.... I couldn't put it into words so I just ended up saying I'm doing ok. Which is true. But it does bring up some strong desires to experience childbirth and a newborn. Although while talking to my friend after her delivery , I did get a small sense of relief that I would not have to experience all the pain and discomfort (probably not the right word for all those women out there who have had to push their baby's head thru a very small opening). I'm happy for my friends. And looking forward to my own baby's "delivery". It will be a very different experience physically, but I expect emotionally there will be some similarities.

Only two more reference letters and Husband's autobiography to get to the adoption agency and our home study paperwork will be done. No updates on the house, adding on or buying. Work has taken up most of my time this past week. I want so much to have an easy transition from my old group to my new group. But I feel like I have "no time". Which is always a really bad excuse! I will need to readjust priorities next week to get start building relationships on the new team. Some people I haven't even met yet!

And I found out yesterday that my boss of almost 3 years (and 2 years in the '90s) is probably not going to be my boss anymore. Bummer. I like working with him so much. I wonder if I will like my job as much without him. Time will tell.

I can hear the chimes outside (the ones my parents brought back from Arizona for us). It's very windy and cold tonight. I'll be happy when the warm weather is back. But I'm glad there is rain to keep our newly planted grass seed wet.
