I think I’m feeling better today (she says hopefully). Last night after my marathon nap, I got a lot done on my outline. Now I’m sitting in bed (legs hurt in a chair) with my laptop on a Levenger bed tray reading for class and continuing work on my outline. I’m a bit tired, but the mental fog seems to have lifted! Hopefully this means the meds are starting to sink in, although even though the side effects are easing, the pain is not – boo. Doctor said it could take a few weeks.

Pumpkinhead is so freakin’ cute it kills me!! He loves the “If you give a ___ a ____” books and some friends of my parents got him the animals to go with the books. His favorite “trick” is to bring the mouse up to me with its body tucked under his shirt and only the cookie sticking out. I say “Yummy, a cookie!” Then when I discover that it’s attached to a mouse, I scream and go “Ewwww yuck!” and he races away giggling hysterically. He’ll do this at least 10 times in a row. Cracks him up and I get more and more dramatic every time. Yep, we’re so weird. I just told him he has GOT to go downstairs because I really need to get cracking on my studying (she says as she blogs about it).

I have my Nectar smoothie in hand (just water, ice and a scoop of Caribbean Nectar powder), a banana and a 2% cheese stick. Not as fun as chocolate, but less sleep- and cellulite-inducing. Besides, I have an Oh Yeah protein bar for later if I need a chocolate fix. The chocolate/caramel ones are delish!
