Misc.

Thought bullets, in no particular order...

• 25 years ago today I was home sick from school watching the Challenger shuttle launch from my mom's sofa. That was the last sick day from school I took until after I graduated high school.
• Advantages of nursing:  I can't exercise yet because of the c-section.  I can't take walks outside because of the snow.  Yet I am still dropping weight like whoa.  I had slimmed out quite bit during pregnancy (excluding the belly of course).  I'm currently down maybe 40 lbs from my high weight of around this time last year.     
• I assumed that I would receive an occasional email from co-workers checking in during my maternity leave. I have assumed incorrectly (so far).
• Clownfish's school has been closed at least one day a week for snow for the last month.  He had an early dismissal and two snow days this week alone.  He's getting a little stir crazy and I am not cleared to drive anywhere yet.
• Angelfish had her two week check up last night.  She's gone from 6 lb 11 oz to 7 lb 15 oz.  Twenty ounces.  Yeah... she's a good eater. 
• Around Christmas I tweeted this:  My face is alternately flaky and dry and pimply. All red. Pregnancy hormones = great beauty. Slathered face in cream. Let's see what it does.
• Skin update today:  face is totally clear.  Hormones finally normalizing for the win!
