What a busy season in all aspects of my life!

Today I resolved to complete the tasks set out in the last 2 months:

1. Write dedication and bio for Dark Dreams.
2. Write poem for Jabberwocky.
3. Design Christmas wrapper for Cat Welfare.
4. Update blog (ahem).

3 out of 4 is not bad, really. I promise to do the remaining one by tomorrow.

Nice belated birthday gifts from hubby: a spanking new Panasonic FZ5 to record Baby's first everything (and secret agenda to take better pics of the cats - it has a 1/1000 shutter speed and records in TIFF yay!) and a Canon photo printer for instant gratification.

Spent all of last night snapping the cats indiscriminately. Tested the printer. Nice shots. The multi-pic on one sheet thing doesn't quite work. When I tried to print again on the same sheet, it went all wonky. Essentially the printer is built for one print per ink thing.

Yesterday we did the baby scan. It kicked! :) No Kodak moment for that though but the ultrasonographer was kind to pick a nice pose and print me a picture. It is growing well for a 3 month old baby, making me nauseous all day - a nice incentive to keep eating.

I clarified with Dr Yong about the cats, toxo, listeria, salmonella, and the dismal state of my diet. She said not to worry about the cats (as if!) - toxo is incredibly rare; it is a risk I have to decide on myself on the listeria and salmonella thing; and that all is well and she'd see me in a month.

My nose is still stuffed although quite controlled with daily Loratadine. The dead-of-night jaunts to the loo have somewhat lessened. Sleepy. Been way more tired lately. Goig to lie dowd with book dow.
