Random thoughts that have no cohesive thread…
I have been sick for four days now. I’ve slept more in the last few days than I have in the last month and yet, I’m still tired. Not just kinda tired but some coffee will perk me up tired either. Bone-achingly tired. I made myself get up and go to work today and I’m already regretting that decision. Or maybe I’m just regretting reading the newspaper over breakfast, as it was full of nothing but bad news, the kind that makes me want to hide my head under the covers and hibernate until summer. Wow, I am seven kinds of sunshine today
Because I have felt like doing nothing but sleep for the last four days, I have completely ignored the computer for the most part and now there are so many items in my Google Reader that it has stopped counting and simply tells me there are 1000+ items in my unread folder. I may have to resort to ‘mark all as read’. Let me know if you’ve written something fantabulous in the last few days in case I miss it…
I maybe love the TV show ‘the office’ too much. Over the last week a sign has appeared on our office microwave requesting that people please clean up their microwave messes. I have, so far, successfully resisted the temptation of adding “Sincerely, Disappointed” to the bottom of the sign. But now people are starting to wonder why I snicker everytime I walk past the microwave…
My soon-to-be-born niece or nephew has continued my family baby tradition of paying absolutely no attention to things like its due date (which was yesterday) and is still happily hidden in my sister-in-law’s womb. We still don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl and we’re getting kind of anxious to find out. Her doctor has said that if the baby doesn’t come by Thursday he’ll induce, so to keep me entertained until then, I’m proposing we play a little game: Is it a boy or a girl? Whaddya think internet? Am I going to have a niece or a nephew by weeks end? Vote now in the comments!

At the beginning of the pregnancy I was sure it was a boy, but lately I’ve been leaning towards girl…Even so, however, I’m going with my first gut reaction and saying that I think I’ve got a nephew on the way…

Niece! I love how you described it as “still happily hidden.”
I hope things start to look up for you soon. It’s rough to be dealing with the bus strike and everything, but also be sick and just feel blah.

I vote for niece (but boy or girl, I hope mum and baby are healthy!).
Feel better soon

I vote for a girl only because no one I know ever seems to have a girl. But I also vote for a boy, because I haven’t seen your sister-in-law’s belly. Not that I am knowledgeable in the ways of pregnancy. . .
