pen_gruntFocusing on nice things to get myself out of this crappy mindset so I can sleep:
Today d and I had a pie bake off. It was lovely being in the kitchen together.
Both pies were excellent.
I watered and pruned and replanted some much neglected house plants. Plants are soothing.
I wrote out thank you cards for baby gifts we've gotten already.
One of these gifts was a car seat and extra base from my aunt and uncle in Tennessee. I don't see them often (or nearly enough), but they are truly lovely people and it makes me feel good to think about them. Also, man, they always go above and beyond. It makes me feel grateful and a little shy/embarrassed.
They are also coming to see the baby in the spring. I'm delighted by this.
I cut d's hair. This is always intimate and kind of non-sexually sexy.
Then we showered together.
We had a Thanksgiving with my parents and everything was wonderful and comfortable.
My sister and I were able to recall the exact way my grandma June's sisters called her "Junie".
D fixed the mashed potatoes and advised on the duck and attempted gravy and also made eggnog flavored whipped cream.
My nephew told the baby that he loved it and that when it got older they would have kicking contests and he would let the baby win.
D is fixing a friend's truck tomorrow. I'm very proud of how fixy D is. It makes it feel like things can't ever go too badly wrong.
And d never makes me feel silly when I'm being irrational. He doesn't always know what to do or say, but I always feel safe and loved.
