No Baby Yet. Just Tired.

Woke up around 6am as usual and spent the day pretty much doing nothing of note with Eli, who was home sick in that "I don't want to do anything but watch TV" kind of way. He didn't have any real symptoms to speak of, but he didn't have any energy either, and didn't want to eat or play much. Grammy came over anyway, around noon, and a lot of our day was spent just kind of hanging out in the living room and chatting while the kid watched TV or napped (broken by the occasional unsuccessful bout of trying to get him to eat something or do anything but watch the tube). It was relaxing but also kind of tiring, in that I didn't have real down time (or a nap) and I was still sort of half on-duty. Right now Josh is making dinner and wrangling the whiny kid's "I don't want to eat dinner, I'm too tired/sick" shenanigans while I take a break. I know it seems dumb that I even need a break, I didn't really *do* anything today, but I'm so tired and greyed out I'm feeling practically numb. I think I'm going to bed right after dinner myself.

The one thing I did do this morning while I had a smidge of energy left was to write a few more sentences and then clean up and post the last missing chunk of scene I wanted to post in order to plug the "hole" in the Augured chapter I hadn't quite finished. Now I've got a complete chunk of manuscript up (15 chapters!) and I feel like I can come back to it later at a good place. Cool.

So did I mention that there's still no baby yet? Trying to just be zen about this. I know he'll come when he's ready. I just really really want to meet him and get this life-changing experience show on the road (not to mention get this whole labor and birth thing over with). Paaaaaaatience, grasshopper.
