Me at the office today
THE TUMMY

The State of the Jen
All I’m doing these days is sleeping, eating, and going to work.Â? Oh yeah… and dealing with swollen hands and feet from pregnancy.Â? OK… not so much hands as the thumb and pointer finger on my right hand.Â? Did I mention that I’m right-handed and kind of need those two fingers for work?
It was warm enough several times this past week for me to go out in flip-flops.Â? My feet rejoiced.Â? This is short-lived though as we’re supposed to get snow this week.Â? So much for spring!
My 7th wedding anniversary is tomorrow.Â? We tried going to a restaurant in town for dinner but it’s apparently not open on Sundays.Â? So… we did Pizza Hut and that was fine.Â? I still can’t believe I’ve been married that long!
Some Un-Passworded Posting
It’s finally a beautiful day here.Â? It’s above freezing (it was near 0 F on Thursday), I got to sleep in, and Finian is bringing his catnip mouse collection up to me.Â? He is such a good prey-catching cat.
Daniel (the creature inside of me) has starting kicking HARD.Â? I wake up in the middle of the night and it feels like parts of my stomach are numb.Â? I’m not entirely used to it so it makes me jump when he goes into soccer-mode.Â? The funniest part was one of my guys at work talking to my tummy in Spanish and telling Daniel to stop kicking.

Lent
As I was watching the snow fall like powdered sugar this morning, I had just one thought in mind:
WHEN IS THIS FREAKING WINTER GOING TO END?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I’m becoming like Edda the Puss when it comes to snow.Â? I don’t like it!!!!Â? Make it go away!!!!
So today is Ash Wednesday which is the first day of Lent.Â? (Easter is around Tax Day again.Â? Yes, I’m positively happy that Jesus paid my Death Tax for me.)Â? It’s a meatless day for me which is a royal pain because I’m hellishly depressed and not feeling like eating… and the only things I have the house that fit this have meat in them.Â? Crap!Â? I’m also giving up swearing which means 4-lettered words mostly.Â? (I’m keeping the precursors though.)
I should theoretically go to church tonight.Â? Then again, I should do a lot of things.Â? For example, I should have gone to work today; but called in sick after crying for a good two hours at the thought of having to go deal with people.Â? The thought of going to church tonight is making me similarly upset.Â? Not that I hate everyone — I’m just having “one of those days weeks”.Â? I’m grateful to have a boss who understands but I still feel guilty.
