General update

[theatokos]

*We got a new bed. WE GOT A NEW BED!! I am so excited about this, can you tell? It's a queen sized faux temperpedic with a real wooden bed frame. I pray that this improves my sleeping.

*Adam is awesome.

*I think I look a little bit like an alien when I see myself in mirrors.

*This next week is freakishly busy. Loads of work stuff. Mostly prepping for another conference next Sunday in Palo Alto. But it's also time to deal with a coworker that's sucking the joy out of working at my nonprofit. It's time for her 6 month review and I have proposed we fire her. I will spend tomorrow trying to cover our asses if that's the case, since this person is also a lawyer. And I am not.

*This is also the week that I am (finally) going into my friend's theology classroom in an all boys Catholic high school and talking about social justice issues around abortion. I'll let you all know how it goes!

*hraffntina is coming to the area oh-so-briefly, but I am so happy at the prospect of seeing her for however short a time.

*I've been struggling with a lot of anxiety and worry this week, and feelings of failure.

*Tonight, Adam and I are going to discuss throwing ourselves a baby shower.

*I ordered the first few things for cloth diapering yesterday. How is it possible to be so excited about purchasing diapers?

Thanks for the heads up about the magazine! I'll check it out.

I've really bitten off a bit more than I can chew. I put a lot of great things into motion - and then found out I was pregnant. I do know that eventually I'll find balance, but for the time being the adjustment in my physical and mental abilities is very difficult to make. There are loads of women who do grad school either pregnant or as a mom. I think certain departments and fields make it more difficult than it needs to be, but it IS doable.

I'll definitely post about how Wed goes!
