Kadiera's Playground Cute but Evil - it averages out

I've been rather thinky again here of late. I've got most of a post written on the nature of gift giving, and the interesting things I noticed about the gifts we got for Alexander.

But tonight I'm being selfish. This post is mostly about me.

The question I get asked most often these days is, "how's the baby?" which is followed in frequency by "is the baby home yet?" And the reactions I get to my answers frequently suggest that the person asking didn't actually want to know the answer, they were just asking to be polite.

A few people have said, "if you need anything, let me know." But the truth, as I explained to one friend, is that I often don't know what we need - that's too complex a question.

Hahaha, the joke's on me. We're not done making changes yet, are we? Nope, and this one's gonna be a mess. Better in the end, but a mess to get there.

Ah well. Be careful what you wish for; the Gods have a really fucked up sense of humor, and a rather twisted sense of how to define most words in the English language.

You can tell that you really need a day off when, the morning of your day off, the motivation to start on the list of "shit I need to get done on my next day off" is non-existant.

However, other than the taxes and starting dinner (and starting the henna for my hair, which may wait until Sunday night, given the way this weekend's schedule is working out), I've gotten the whole list completed.

I'm fighting a migraine, which I'm sure is adding to the lack of motivation. But Ive gotten cat food, picked up my glasses, dealt with the car, started a load of laundry (with load two going in shortly) and had both breakfast and lunch.
