Sleepy. Need a bubble bath.

Today when I went to open the back hatch of my car the hatch didn’t go all the way up and I hit my head very hard on the latch. I had my dad pick me up from TVLand and bring me back home because walking, reading, talking, and driving are making me nauseous right now.
So… Good night for now, or until the queasies subside.

**Happy Anniversary, Mr. & Mrs. Taters!**
Hugs to all who need cheering up or aren’t feeling well. i blame winter for the blues right now. If it would get a bit sunny around here it would help. It’s amazing what a difference the sun makes.
Funny joke, **Rebo**. 😃
It’s amazing how big projects like that work, **FCM**. Seems like a lot of execs want estimates but won’t understand that it takes a lot of work to be able to give anything you can actually stand behind.
Went and saw _Sherlock Holmes_ after work today. Liked it a lot. (If you’re a Holmes purist, you might not; but I thought it was a really creative interpretation. The cinematography and music is inspired.)
Back to knitting…

Don’t you think you should get your head checked out? Queasieness, head injury… is sleeping such a good idea?
I worry about you!

Seconding the ‘Go to the doctor, **Pie!** ’
Seriously, how do you convince a toddler to stay in a bed? I figure locking him in and letting him decide the bed’s more comfy than the floor is the best bet. He won’t stay if he can get the door open.
Mr. Lissar is sick (second time in two weeks), and I’m waiting patiently for my midwife’s appointment on Thursday to find out if I should quite doing housework for a couple of months. Bending over and carrying things brings on contractions. I suspect I’m not catapulting myself into early labour, but I don’t know if it would be better if I just sat down a lot. Frustrating.
Yawn. Nine-thirty. Time for bed. Recreational sleeping is one of my favourite activities.

I took a nap earlier and woke up as my same charming self. Unfortunately it takes very little to make me nauseous. So I think I’ll be ok. Thanks for your concern. 🙂

This is indeed a question for the ages. You start by getting a bed rail that runs the full length of the bed, then you teach him that if he stays in bed, you will leave the door open, but if he gets out of bed, you close the door (for 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc …). Or … you use my tired, ineffective technique of sitting on the end of the bed, ignoring the toddler until she falls asleep, then quietly creeping out of the room!

The rule at home was “no noise before 9am” for us elders and “no noise after 9pm” for the youngest. Nobody expected us to stay in bed if we were awake.
Help! I’m having visions of **Taters** and **Tatershubby** in a McD-like french-fries container! And that’s while being conscious…
Got back two of the partial grades from last semester. One was fine (as expected), the other was lousy but the parts the teacher didn’t like aren’t the parts I saw as more “irregular” (although I definitely should behave and wear my Wooly Sheep Suit for the second semester). Grades in this second one were generally horrible. Another strange thing is that I got the exact same grade as another student whose style is as close to being the exact opposite of mine as you can be and still use the same language.
I’ll be done with everything on the week after Easter, except for two exams which at least happen to take place in the same week. Hopefully I’ll be able to get a consulting project. And if it isn’t asking too much, could it be a decent one? I’m not asking for short hours in a sunny location, but sane coworkers and specially a sane boss would be great! There’s no need for the clients to be sane, so long as the boss is.

Morning everybody!
It is **coooooold** here! Brrrrrrr…
Whaddyamean 45F overnight and 50F getting out of the house in the morning isn’t cold…?! 😛
Well, it’s cold for **me**!!
**Happy belated Taterversary**!!
\*\*Nava \*\*-- \*\*\*all \*\*\*you want is a sane boss and sane co-workers? Aiming low, are we…? 😛
(:rolleyes: – at life, not at you of course)
\*\*Pie \*\*-- hope you’re a lot better this morning. If the nausea persists, then you **should** get medical help! Concussions are **not** to be taken lightly!
{{{ **Pugs** }}} Fingers crossed for a quick re-employment, hopefully with a better job than the last!

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_
**CutiePie** I’m jumpin’ on the go to the doctor bandwagon. We worry.
Everytime I read posts re the woes of gettin’ kidlets to sleep, etc. I am so much more happier that I never had the urge to populate the planet. 😃
**Special1** anything below 60 Amurrkin qualifies as cold IMO.
Ok, time to forage, caffienate some more and purtify for work. ICK!
Happy Wednesday Y’all!

Half way to the weekend, mumpers! And that means tonight I’ll be going out for beerverages so that is something to look forward to after another day of inputting exam scores.
It’s cold over here too, **mmmmmmms** , if you have snow then please keep it to yourself because I don’t want any more of it. It interrupts my plans, y’know.
Happy Taterversary!

I’m cured!
I’ve been sitting here at the computer for about 1/2 hour now reading and it hasn’t made me sick.

Good morning! I’m glad you’re better, **Pie**. Watch for signs, though!
