an aside: i found the ads posted here amusing. one was for sewer video, which i know something about as i have coworkers who analyze such video for a living. the stories are disgusting. and the other is about ISO training. again, i know something about it. i know enough about these things to know that folks who are doing internet searches would be cruely disappointed by linking to my blog. maybe they're not the only ones ...
another update: the faucet installation success story ended this past weekend. we bought new faucets with supplies on 4-inch centers, and el Jefe's sink is sporting 4 1/4-inch centered holes. he subsequently purchased two new drill bits (appurtenances!) to try to remedy the holes. unfortunately there is talk of purchasing another tool for said drill bits. so far, only two trips to Home Depot. i think the underlying problem was lack of beer.
i went to the ob/gyn yesterday. if you're tracking my progress (i am, and this effort is to keep me honest?) my weight is at 159. blood pressure is an acceptable 114/70. i am not so proud of the 159 part. i weighed 161 just before Punkin was born, and i gained a total of 31 pounds. now i've technically got 19 more weeks to go, but technically, i've only gained 12 pounds. i know i need to show some restraint. and i need to get in the pool more than once or twice a week. that's going to be harder when i become a part-time single mother.
the move: i'm trying not to make it worse on el Jefe'. he's going to be alone several days a week, too. he has credit card debt that he's working on, that won't go away, that i won't pay off on principal (he needs to learn to control it himself), and there is no doubt that this move is costly (in more than dollars) and the interim, while temporary, is like running two households. we make do fine with one, nothing extravagant, but two is a little daunting for both of us.
i just hope he's not spending as much energy worrying about it as i do.
