nothing's changed

unfortunately, the damage i did with yoga - compounded i'm sure by a ever-growing monkey - has left me in roughly the same, if not worse, shape than i was prior to starting physical therapy. it's very upsetting. also that i will have to stop going soon as my insurance only covers so many visits and i need to save some for after the birth and we've pretty much already wiped our out medical expenses account (as we didn't foresee this!). ah well. i'll have to make do with what i've got.

as for house progress, well, we made some. we got the floor ready, got the rosin paper down, got all the door jams trimmed, the first few rows cut... we were ready for the tool yesterday. we went and rented it, got home and it was not set to the right thickness, and i guess that home depot's tech was out so no one could fix it.

another day down.

*sigh*

in happy news we got our first gifts off the registry. from my boss no less, who will be attending my east-coast shower this weekend. it was very unexpected, especially since the gifts were multiple and more than i would have ever imagined.

only downside? the baby superstore shipped the wrong item. like in a bad way wrong. and of course our local one doesn't carry the line so we trekked all around to different ones (once we realized no progress could be made on the floor of course) to find it. i have a bad track record with picking things that are later discontinued or hard to find, once locked into them (like say, bridesmaid dresses, wedding favors, etc..) so once we had the wrong item, that was no longer available online, that two stores didn't have, alex was on a mission.

i'm happy to report the appropriate mobile is now safely in our living room.

other than that, i feel like i have so much to do before getting on that plane wednesday morning. did i mention i hate to fly? at least it's going to be mid-40s in ct... allegedly.

oh and i added a countdown clock. tried to make ut as unoffensive as possible, man i hate those things.
