Retirement

Last week was my first official week of "retirement." Everything takes me a little longer than it used to (what with the forgetting and the having to stop and put my feet up every hour in order to prevent them from becoming swollen nubs), so I wanted time enough before our due date in which to throw Eric a birthday party and clean and plan for Thanksgiving. Last week was pretty busy - I waxed floors, dusted, vacuumed, GOT US THE INTERNET, and generally prepared for Eric's birthday party on Friday (which was awesome by the way). Since I don't have to cook for Thanksgiving this year after all (Eric's bros are going to Utah or some such thing), this week is going to be a lot more relaxed than I had planned. I'm thinking there will be a lot of tea-sipping and puzzle-making by the fire. We're also going to cut a Christmas tree this weekend. Perhaps traipsing around the forest will make this kid fall out of me faster? Fingers crossed...
