I have been reading a lot of novels lately. Here’s a quick recap of what I’ve read since Sun was born: 1. I finished reading “I am a Cat” by Natsume. This was not my favorite Japanese author to read. But it had its moments. It was interesting reading about life in Japan from a [...]
After waiting 8 hours on standby after having missed his flight yesterday, Captain Sarcastic was told there was no room on the plane for him to come home. After much scrambling, it was concluded that he’d have to fly out this morning. So I had one extra day alone with Sun. And that was fine. [...]
Day 5 has been mostly uneventful, other than CS missed his flight, waited around all day on standby, has had the standby flight delayed, and is still is not sure if he’ll make it in tonight–at the moment it is not looking good. Ugh. The trepidation I felt going into this first stint of being [...]
So, with Day 4 at hand and no poopy diaper in 24 hours and the last two being exploding, I have been on the lookout–lurking around Sun waiting for the moment. For the past five hours, I’ve kept a lap pad, or as I call it–a drop cloth, under her tushie just in case (thanks [...]
Sun and I dropped CS off at the airport and came home. I put Sun down for a nap, continued reading Harry Potter, then gave Sun a bottle. As she was sucking away, I could hear and feel her stomach churning. Finally, I thought, she’ll get some relief. Introducing formula into her system has had [...]
I’d like to say I am not concerned at all–that I am looking forward to it. But that is just not the case. The hubs is leaving town today returning Sunday. Leaving me alone with Sun for four days. In a row. One of his best friends is getting married in L.A. When Captain Sarcastic [...]
I had dinner out last night followed by a movie. And Sun was left home. It was almost a date except I was with a friend and not the hubs. I ordered a margarita while we waited for our table. Then I ordered a second one with my meal. Two sips into the second one [...]
A friend died this week. He had been struggling with cancer for four years, and it finally got the better of him. Being on the receiving end of new life these days, it is really a shock to now deal with a death. My friend had a good life, an amazing wife. I will miss [...]
Because Sun was breech, there was a concern she may have some hip issues. So while in the hospital, they did an ultrasound and all looked well. But to be sure, they ordered a second ultrasound at the one-month mark. That ultrasound was today. Here’s how it went: The hubs could not join us as [...]
You know what makes me forget about all of my pumping woes? A day like yesterday. Here’s what we did: 1. Brunch with my friend Wendy and her family. 2. A trip to two bookstores (with a purchase of two new novels). 3. A long hot bath wherein one of my new novels started to [...]
