The Break
Ah spring break. For some reason, I thought it would be a brilliant idea to paint our entire place in preparation for selling it. Since our place is essentially one room, (and our bathroom is still in disarray from recent renos) our place is a gigantic mess. So it isn't turning out to be a terribly relaxing break. And of course there's the little matter of school work - I am supposed to be doing some.
We have our first prenatal appointment later today, which is very exciting. I am hoping we can hear heartbeat on the doppler, but I guess they may not try it if I am still too early.
The cat is doing a little better. She purrs and jumps on the bed and moves around and doesn't appear to be in any pain. She is usually relatively recalcitrant and moody when anything is off in her little universe, so I think it will show when she is ready to go. She is taking steroids and this could shrink her tumour temporarily and give her a little more time. I am worried that her time will come when I am away next wee, but I hope she lasts until I get home again. D will have to pill her, which I know will be a challenge.
My moods are all over the place - happy, then tearful. But more happy than tearful.

I don't know how you manage to give your cat a pill. I was in charge once of my cat's pill and I couldn't hold him, I felt like such a meanie. Same with putting him in the cat carrier. Maybe you should have D try a few times before you go.

Hi Grass!
Glad you're back. I've been meaning to sign your guestbook for ages to let you know I still read this. I mostly read your blog from work where your guestbook is blocked by the filtering software that's supposed to keep me from goofing off on the internet. I'm home right now where I'm free to do whatever I want, so I thought I'd drop a note to say hello.
The internet seems... grittier… without that filter. Did you know there are websites with pictures of naked people?

Hi! Congrats on your pregnancy- I was a nervous wreck before our first prenatal appointment (super excited and half-terrified the home pregnancy tests were wrong). I actually still get a little nervous before each appointment.
I wish you all the best- I look forward to reading how everything is going!
