I have placenta previa. [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001902/](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001902/) Not entirely serious but is something they need to keep an eye on. The placenta typically moves away from the cervix as the uterus and baby grow, but if it stays on my cervix it could cause premature labor and contractions. So not out of the woods yet, but I at least have an explanation as to why I was spotting so early. Thanks all for the well wishes and calming advice. ---

NO WAY **TAO**!!! We had them double, triple, and quadruple check it was just one! LOL We got to see the baby move and hear the heartbeat again today. The US tech remarked that this baby was a wiggle worm, so I am almost certain it is a girl. Haha ---

Howdy Y’all from da cave! Actually I’ve been home for a while. I went down south, took care of that, came back to irk, made my report and decided that was enough. I have boiled some chikin breasts/made some broth and both are now coolin’. The boobs will be cubed up to go in a pasta sallit I’m makin’ for Sunday brunch over to the church house. I’m also gonna make a cabbage casserole and a gallon each of sweet and unsweet tea just cause I’m nice dammit! **Apes** at least you know what it is. Let us know if and when we need to cross appropriate/inappropriate appendages, ok? **MOOOOOOM** why are you picturin’ me in my Wally\*World outfit? 😛 Beast stew, cornbread and apple crisp for dindin. YUM! ---

**swampy** , ol’ buddy, ol’ pal, have you/would you share your apple crisp recipe? We were less than impressed with the one I made last week and since I can’t find the recipe I used to use, I would love to find another! Bert’s for supper tonight, just because. And since tomorrow is my sweetie’s b-day, we’re taking him out to dinner. He wants to go to the Texas Roadhouse, so he gets his wish. That’s all I’ve got. TGIF!!! ---

{{ **Apes** }} Thinkin’ sticky, placenta shifting thoughts! Every time I go outside today, it starts raining… then suddenly stops and is glorious sun. I had\* to walk into town earlier, and it’s impossible to dress properly. Plus I have a blister on my heel due to wearing sandals that got soaked with salt water last week, so all the fabric’s gone stiff. I got off lightly though, my housemate wound up losing a shoe in the mud, washed it off in the sea, and now it looks like one of [these](http://www.tobar.co.uk/20670-04606/magic-tree) but without the colour 😃 \*‘had’ meaning I wanted to go pick up a horrible ‘newspaper’ 'cos it has lego as a free gift. I feel a little dirty buying _the Sun_, but… tomorrow they have Lego Uruk-Hai! You can only get one per shop, so I’m recruiting friends, and going round everywhere in the city that will have them. Yes, I know I’m clearly a child. ---

**MOOOOOOM** the recipe I used is the one in the [Mumper Recipe Blog](http://mumpersrecipes.blogspot.com/). If’n you want, you can leave off the pee-kahns. Matter of fact I did just that. Speakin’ of which, dindin and the apple crisp were tres nummy. ---

Tonight dinner shall be Famous Daves, due to MrTao’s having a co-worker gettin-married dinner there. I’m not a fan of the place, but their wild rice soup is good! I just remember being SO disappointed when I got to Virginia, roommates dragged me there, and it was just…awful. Expensive, dry as hell, and really not what I consider BBQ. Just…blech. I thought the brisket was SO bad that for a long time I refused to ever try brisket anywhere again; I thought I hated brisket! As it turns out, I just hate really dry, flavourless brisket. After dinner, hopefully we’ll see Man With the Iron Fists, yay! Been a while since we’ve gone out, movies will be fun 🙂 ---

Tuesday was my Friday. Wednesday, I got up and packed up all my stuff and did all my laundry and loaded it all into my car. Handed my landlord a rent check for October which i told him would be almost certain not to bounce once I got paid on Friday; he seemed okay with that. Headed on out and spent two days depending on the kindness of friends for a place to stay. Today, I got paid again (yay!) and apparently for all the back pay they hadn’t yet paid me for October, so I quick jumped into Craigslist and found another room to rent for a reasonable amount, got the room and moved my stuff into it, the headed on to irk (I irk 1 pm to 9:30 pm). So, tonight I get to set up my computer and see if the purported internet access is actual internet access. ---
