A much happier update

[theatokos]

Bennett slept like a rock last night. He's happy as can be. Thank god. He was even able to nurse. PHEW. It feels funny, though, when he does it. It's not quite the same as regular gums. It's all uneven and a little pokey. He's got the GROSSEST blood clot on the left side. But all is well. He is even giving honest to goodness hugs. This kid amazes me.

I am still unwinding from the whole ordeal. I did yoga this morning and I had that feeling in my stomach that if I let go anymore I'd throw up. My whole person was scrunched up tight. Unwinding is going to take some effort. Healthy food, sleep and a happy baby will help for sure. I'm still grieving the accident. I'm sad that Bennett is going to be funny looking for several years. It's a really minor thing, I know, and I'll get over it, but it's still hard.

More happy things to look forward to: the cats are now indoor/outdoor cats. Elliott is a happy camper. Four years ago I promised him this would happen and I'm finally following through with it. Nigel isn't so sure about the whole outdoors thing. Today Adam, B and I go to get our biometrics done for the visa application. I believe this is the last piece and we can mail all of our paperwork in tomorrow. Tomorrow night I'm going to preview night for ComiCon. Friday night Adam and I are going to go see live music! My god, I'm so excited. A guy called William Fitzsimmons (sort of reminds me of what John Mayer and Iron and Wine's baby would sound like) at a coffee house called Lestat.

Now to shower.

We just discovered him! It'll be fun to see him live and in such a small setting. This is my favorite way to see musicians. I'll be sure to report back!

Thank god indeed. Here's hoping tomorrow and the next day will be better and more better.

Comic con!...True Blood panel is 5:15 to 6:15 p.m. Saturday, Ballroom 20. I will live vicariously through you if you go! Squee!

I'm planning on avoiding the daytime con. I'm not sure I want to get caught up in the scrunch. BUT - A True Blood panel sounds groovy! What is it about that show? I want to watch it everyday!

I think I need a gothic or vampire icon.

I've been to Lestat's. Silly name, pretty good venue. SD is great for live music!
