Wednesday
Allergies are in full swing.

This girl's just glad she can take Claritin (sadly no "d," which means I'm woefully congested). This weekend, I couldn't get in touch with my doc to find out what I could take, so instead, I took nothing, and it was beyond dreadful.

I am tres tired.

This weekend was uneventful.

I had Monday off, but I ended up having to do a bunch of work from home via email because...I don't even know why. Ugh. I also went in for ultrasound 5,251, which was actually a repeat of the last one when le bebe wouldn't cooperate. This time, I bought D, just because I thought it might be neat for him to see, and wouldn't you know it, the baby moved into perfect position and was an absolute lamb. The good news? Everything looks normal. The bad news? It's three months into it, and the baby already doesn't listen to me? Jk. Honestly, I'm just glad that I didn't gain any weight between that visit and the ones prior... Anyhow, then we went for lunch, and it was an all-round good day.

As of yesterday, I am 14 weeks, which puts me officially in the second trimester. I'm 1/3 done! While most of the nausea has abated, some still lingers. For example, I can't stomach large meals, and if I drink water on too empty of a stomach, I get very queasy. The exhaustion hasn't abated at all though. I'm beyond tired. I'm on the edge of almost showing, depending on what I wear. If I wear jeans and a t shirt, you can't tell. If I wear a loose jersey dress, and the wind blows, you can almost tell. I think I have between two weeks and a month, and then I will be showing for sure. As far as food goes, I'm eating well, although I think I'm just going to try to focus more on protein, veggies, and fruit because when I eat a carb-y meal, I practically go into a coma. Not good.

Yesterday and today were lame, although this week has been blessedly quiet because it's not a session week, which means no meetings, no members, no nothing...and...casual clothes. Hurray hurrah. It also means I have plenty of times for walks in the concourse. Today I walked to and will walk from work (20 mins/1.2 miles total), and I walked 30 minutes in the concourse. Yesterday I walked for 30 mins in the concourse, plus another 30 or so of generalized running around. I also intend to walk tomorrow and Friday. I'm hoping to 30 minutes of yoga or pilates today too, if I have the time and the energy. Hopefully I'll make it to the gym this weekend too.

Ugh. I just wish Session would be over. It's getting harder and harder for me to pretend to care anymore. I'm so mentally divorced from the process. From government. From the inefficiency. From all of it.

I just finished Book 6 of Harry Potter, and it was so sad! I'm hoping to borrow Book 7 and finish it before work gets too hectic and before I lose all ability to focus.

I'm becoming a bit dejected about this whole house hunting thing. Everything is either gorgeous and way too expensive (>300k) or affordable (<300k) and requires a lot of time and money for it to be livable. This is why I hate New York. I know damn well that in other states, you can buy a gorgeous house for under 200k that requires zero work. Plus, if you are unfortunate enough to live in a city, you pay at least 10k a year in taxes, but because you live in a city, the schools suck so bad that you either have to move, or you have to pay for private schools. Oh well, I'm sure eventually the right thing will come along.

Omg. I just want a nap and for this day to be over with! The day is dragging, and it seems like it will never ennnnnnnddd.....
