1. Medela Pump In Style, borrowed from a friend, works fine. But the sucker is huge and heavy - the pump is built into the carrying bag - and as you may recall I pick up two children, one of whom I carry, and take them home on a bus. So I've put a bid in on ebay for a new Ameda Purely Yours. Word to those in the market - lots of good prices on breast pumps on ebay, and the Ameda can be completely sterilized so it's perfectly safe to share. I should be able to get one for $50 including shipping, I think.
2. I fell to Librarything this morning. I am there under the same name as here. Shaky fist to the timesuck!
3. Poor Dillo was very goopy-eyed this morning. Will the fellow ever be well? The last two nights he has slept worse than ever in his life, basically because he is sick.
4. I slept like crap last night, aside from the Dillo wakeups. I am only barely sick, but when I lie down quietly and try to sleep, breathing makes my throat tickle. I was awake until at least 11 and up for the day by 5.
5. We are having another round of Dissertation Angst (front burner version - it's always there, of course). I am trying to help. The big looming issues are a) money (student loan, parent loan, liquidate some assets?) and b) transition. If he isn't finished by midsummer and confirmed in a job, what to do? I hate to place Casper in school in August and then take her out to move to Ohio in October. But it may happen. Goddamnit.
6. Should go eat something. Have managed to depress myself.
7. Oh! Baby of yesterday named Harrison HerLastName HisLastName. Not sure if he's to be a Harry or what.
