Don't worry, this won't hurt a bit...

So I have been debating if I should write about this or not. I have come to the conclusion it is worth the telling but needs to come with a little preface. OK everyone, I went to the hospital last Friday because I was having trouble breathing and was very dizzy...but there was nothing wrong with me other than a panic attack. Get it? Nothing wrong! So you don't need to sit there and worry. The end of the story is boring. But here is the beginning...

So on Friday morning I was being run around at work during a meeting, I didn't have everything ready for faire, and I still needed to go to Costco. So I was feeling a little bit overworked. And then I started to get dizzy. As most of you know, this has been a common complaint since I got pregnant. So I decided to lay on the floor as a precaution.

However laying on the floor of your cubical in the middle of the office of education means that people walk by and panic for you. So to stop the madness (and make sure they didn't call an ambulance) I voluntarily had a co-worker drive me to the hospital. And at the front desk the nurse told me I was having a panic attack and to knock it the hell off. Which I promptly did and felt much better. Then they admitted me...

And I called Mr. C.

They hooked me up to an IV, to a fetal monitor, to a heart monitor, got me an EKG and took blood samples for anemia (again). And the whole time I was thinking (and sometimes saying) If I had been at home, I would not have come in here. I would have laid on the flood until I felt better.

Four hours later (and I'm sure hundreds of dollars later) I found out several things... Melody is reacting to just about everything I do (which is a great sign), she has a very strong heartbeat (and you can dance to it), it's fun to watch your mounters when they stick you with things and make you bleed because they go all screwie, IV bag really make you have to pee, I am having little tiny contractions (which are too small for me to feel) and am right on target for where I should be in my pregnancy, and because I'm preggers, I have to wear the fat people gown.

So much for the hospital. But don't worry, we'll be back there in a month or so.

Rain faire

You know I think it has been years since I have been at a faire that has been forced to close because of rain. And there we were... sitting in the middle of the biggest mud pit with no wrestling going on. Oh wait, was that my outside voice?

Actually Saturday was lots of fun. I sat (laid) in my tent while people visited with me. I got a two hour nap and woke up just in time to have dinner and go back to bed. So it was lovely and my tent was totally dry even though the heavens were trying their best to wash us all away.

Sunday was good too. The weather was beautiful, the temperature was nice and I was really well rested. Except for the traffic on the way home, life was good. And here I am in the last week of September.

All of the baby shower invitations have been sent out (check you mailboxes). All of my sewing is done. All I need right now is breakfast... And possibly some chocolate. Life is slowing down and that is perfect.

And that is my weekly check in. I have baby class tonight. An eyeball appointment on Friday and not very much to get from Costco. Life is good.

Tah.

Moving along...

The shower invitations arrived on Saturday and I was sitting in bed last night addressing them to various people. I realized that I might now have ordered enough and might have to do a quick re-order... *sigh* But that are beautiful. And, hopefully, will be in the mail shortly.

This weekend was incredibly stressful. So everyone knows that I am in charge of the washing well at Northern this year...I had this suspicion that there would be issues... And here is my new one. The didn't bother to drain the well from last weekend. So when I arrived on Saturday morning ti was a sludge pit full of mosquito larva. Yummy. It smelled awful and looked even worse. So I told the girls to keep it's lid on and not to get near it. Then I went t looking for people in charge. I told everyone I could find how disgusting it was and how my girls were not getting anywhere near it. The ended up mostly pumping it on Saturday night. Which did a lot for the smell but not for the mosquitoes. Then I poured bleach into it and the girls put salt into it and together I think we killed just about everything.

I am so mad about this. I was promised so much and given nothing. In fact I was so stressed out that I made myself unable to continue being at the well all day on Sunday. And after being yelled at by the EMTs I was sent home by Ent staff. Which was probably for the best as I was not feeling so hot and allowed me to go to bed really early.

Now here it is Monday morning again...

Just for Fluffy

Fluffy... you asked for a picture of me and Melly at faire... Here you go.

Belly

Many of you have been wondering exactily what does an 8 month pregnant Adie look like... Well, here you go. Not the best of pictures but it gets the point across.

Moving so fast now...

Hello and welcome to September!
All of the waiting has finally come to an end and now it's suddenly...busy time!!! The costumes I was working on are finished enough to wear and be worn. There are minor details still to be worked on, but nothing that will kill me in the next three days. My online classes started yesterday. And I will hopefully be able to keep on top of those. Still not sure how I feel about accounting, but here I am, about to find out. Faire opens this weekend and our 'guild yard' was in no way, shape, or form anywhere near ready for us last weekend. So it's a mad dash to get it ready for opening on Saturday morning. However I am more worried about the shopping I have to do on Friday after work and making it all get up to site. I think I will be leaving here way too early on Saturday morning to make sure everything is set up before we have an all cast meeting. *Sheesh*

On the big positive side I ordered the shower invitations yesterday and they should be arriving in a week. Which means that we should have plenty of time to get them addressed and sent in the next three weeks.


Isn't it great?!?! I'm very excited about this.

And more excited about finally using a gift certificate that I have been hording for almost three years... I am getting a massage on Thursday night. *sigh* Hopefully it will have a positive impact on the rest of my weekend.

And now I am late for work.

Tah!
