I had the day off and had the opportunity to do a few things. I spent the morning chillin' with my boys (all three of them!), then around lunch time took off with the boys and left Trav at home for some quiet time. We went to Goodwill to get some "new" shorts and t-shirts for Deklan, as he seems to be having a growth spurt and is outgrowing his clothes incredibly fast. After that, we went to Trader Joe's, where we picked up some awesome blueberries at a great price, and super-cheap basil plant, and typical grocery odds and ends. Then we went to Joann's, to get a new clasp for my favorite necklace.
I also got some really awesome beads that I want to make into either a necklace or bracelet. Then we went to Wal-Mart to get more odds and ends. And then finally to SaveMart to wrap up the grocery shopping. When I got home I cleaned out the fridge, then prepped some fruit. I washed and picked the blueberries and laid them on wax paper on a cookie sheet. On top of that I put another sheet of wax paper and topped it with washed and sliced strawberries. Then I added a layer of over-ripe bananas, then a layer of washed, halved, and pitted cherries. All of those went into the freezer and then into freezer bags for smoothies later. I used a handful of blueberries, a handful of cherries, and a couple of apples to make a crisp, which turned out absolutely delicious. I cooked and boned some chicken, which will turn into chicken salad tomorrow or the next day. Then I prepped and cooked some shrimp (which was supposed to become a shrimp salad, but it didn't make it. We ate it for dinner.) and started a garbanzo bean salad. That will have to wait as well, since the day is done and I am tired. Between all of this activity I called my old school and requested transcripts for Frontier (since I'm no longer pregnant, I'm going ahead with my plan to start school in December), washed, dried, folded, and hung four loads of laundry, put the kids down for naps and then bed, and cleaned the kitchen (with the exception of loading the dishwasher...Trav pitched in). It's been a busy day off! Now I get to sit with a cup of tea and work on a baby blanket that I'm crocheting as a gift for a baby due in a couple of weeks.
I'm doing well. I'm totally done with everything miscarriage-related, and I would say that I'm back to normal as far as all of that goes. Trav and I are back to our old shenanigans, which is nice! We're still planning on waiting until at least one cycle passes us by, but we're being a lot more lax than we normally would be in the avoidance department. Maybe I should start back on my prenatals, just in case.
