It is really coming down outside. For the Bay Area, we are in the midst of a massive storm. Thankfully my place isn't getting the 60-70mph winds. Basically, it feels like a bad mid-October day in Juneau. Strong winds, blankets of rain. Only it's not cold. It's awfully fantastic to be home, wrapped in my turquoise bath robe reading and drinking tea, listening to the delightful sound of rain against my windows.
Other unrelated thoughts:
I am so pleased to see John Edwards do so well in the Iowa caucuses. It was exciting to hear how many people turned out. Clearly the field of Democrats is inspiring people. Sadly, turn out for the Republicans was uninspiring, except for Huckabee. All I can do is shake my head on that one.
And, I am officially in my second trimester. I am feeling so very much better. Normal even. There are obvious signs that I am still pregnant, but I no longer feel like I've regressed to adolescence - the first trimester is seriously like going through puberty again. Massive hormone changes, the moodiness/withdrawal/horniness that goes with it, rapid and sudden swelling and growing, break outs (those haven't gone away, sadly), body aches as things grow and shift suddenly, bursts of tears, etc. It's humbling to feel 14 again. But thank god that's over.
