Eating Breakfast, Thinking

It's Friday morning, and I have to be somewhere soon.  I've been reflecting on how busy it's been.  We graduated, packed, started working in Rolla, moved while working in Rolla (which means that we may never actually be done unpacking), went to Dallas for Orientation with PBT (which I want to write about, sometime -- maybe when I can be at home and not distracted by all the putting away that's left to do?), came back to Rolla on our anniversary, visited the midwife, celebrated my birthday (Tuesday night with the in-laws and Wednesday afternoon with my mom), hung out with family here for the wedding, today Zephan's sister's getting married, after which we're meeting more of Zephan's family in St. Louis for a surprise family reunion/birthday celebration for Grandma.  And of course, we'll probably get back from that in time to get not enough sleep before we start our next work week.  It promises to be less busy, which I'm really looking forward to.

And besides all of this, I'm all of a sudden feeling about 120% pregnant.

Spring Break I

It's spring break.  So far, it's included:

• Coffee Zone - working on a creative writing paper, half of which was lost somehow
• snow
• coffee with Martha
• delicious food with Jeanie in Ashland - all. day. long.
• bargain shopping at the mall with Mary while Zephan and Simon built a chicken coop
• many, many pancakes
• considering the future x100 - some decisions made
• grocery shopping and errands on Zephan's day off

The rest of the week must include:

• finishing the creative writing paper
• writing a 25-page rough draft of my research project (while finishing researching)

 . . . *sigh* . . .

At least it isn't going to be warm and make me want to do fun outdoor things.
