go go giggidy gonads

Ahh...

Today is much better. Last night Tomek was home surprisingly early--I thought he'd be working until at least 9 p.m., but he got home 10 minutes after me! It was the first evening this week we had together. Bliss.

Most of the evening went by with us alternating sitting at the computer and snoozing on the futon. Our periods of wake and rest seem to always be the opposite. I snoozed, then he came and joined me, but I felt awake, so I got up, he snoozed... but it was nice to just have him there. Not that I never see him or anything, but, well, I am his prszlepka (is that even close?) after all.

He started feeling cruddy around 9 p.m. because we hadn't really gotten anything done. We showered together, and then while I was waiting for him to get ready for bed, I pulled up a real estate search and started scanning through listings. The thing that sucks about these is that the listing doesn't get taken down as soon as the place sells. Grr. Tomek came and sat down with me and we decided to just fire off emails to the realtor covering each place we were interested in. We sent about 5 emails, and then around 11 p.m. went to bed. Oh, while we were looking through listings, LB thoroughly woke up and was bouncing around inside me. While Tomek's hand was resting on the top of my belly (yes it now has a top and a bottom), there was this long drawn out stretchy kick, the biggest I've ever felt, and he totally got to feel it because it happened right under his hand. Then he got the giggles. We poked and massaged my belly, feeling this bony bit that was suddenly booting all over. I pushed on it gently, and could actually feel it moving and stuff shifting on the other side of my belly!

So we were both in better moods because we'd gotten some real estate hunting done, AND had a nice session of feeling the baby kicking and moving around. And we got to talking about gonads as we shifted around in bed. I don't remember where it came from, but there we were, lying in bed, taking turns making up variations of "go go giggidy gonads!"... we both totally got the giggles and I laughed till my tummy muscles cramped up. Hee hee... that's the best way to end the day.

AND I slept well last night, on the other side of the bed, and WITH a pillow, imagine that. (For the past couple of weeks I've been sleeping without any pillows near me, and in the fetal position.) So today I don't feel too badly, and I got a reply from one realtor saying one of the listings is still available and would we like to make an appointment to see it. Sweet! I hope we can see it before it sells. It doesn't have in-suite laundry, and we need that, but maybe we can install it.

Finally, the controller stopped me in the hall today and said they are working as fast as they can on getting me a replacement. Coolness. So I could be out of here around the 20th. (And I have the 15th and 16th off because my brothers are coming to visit me. Yay!) I may not have to work another full work week!!
