Today

Today was the first day the sadness subsided enough that I didn't feel resentment each time I saw a pregnant woman or an infant. There was perhaps some longing to be that person in the future, but my bitterness was nearly non-existent. I would be lying if I said that at least once a day I didn't think "I should be almost seven weeks pregnant right now." But it is progress. It was such a good day today that when I was browsing at the library (I love the library and could spend hours upon hours there) and saw Itty-Bitty Hats: Cute and Cuddly Caps to Knit for Babies and Toddlers, I actually checked it out with the intention of knitting a few hats in the near future for Sweepy-D. It made me happy, not sad, and I can't wait to buy some yarn for these projects.

The rest of the day was also highly productive. Dana and I got up early and took the dogs to the park for a three mile walk before getting hot chocolate for me (I do not like coffee) and a latte for Dana. Then I bathed the dogs because they chose to roll in a dead fish on our walk. After ensuring the dead fish smell was successfully washed away, I syphoned water and cleaned the aquarium before setting off to run errands while Dana did school work. I got my eyebrows waxed, went to the grocery store, and also bought a couple of new fish for the aquarium before returning home. The rest of the afternoon was spent cleaning up the two garden beds so they are ready for planting in the spring and pooper scooping the yard. As I type this I have sweet potato fries in the oven and I'll throw some veggie burgers on the grill soon before we settle in for a wonderful night cuddling and watching movies. Happy Saturday!
