Seems like an Easy Day (Knock on Wood)

We finished Molly's school at around 10 this morning. I don't have anywhere to go (and couldn't anyway since Bob has the van because his truck died) until Liam's doctor's appointment at 3. All I really need to accomplish between now (10:47) and then is getting a shower. And, if that weren't good enough, I'm going out to dinner tonight with a friend without any children at all!! :) YAY! I won't even know what to do!
Now, if I were being responsible I'd use this day to get some things gone through for the yard sale (although, I got rid of a ton of stuff last night - thank you Greg and Jen!!) and do dishes and laundry (because at this point I only have one load to do) and general cleaning and straightening. I guess we'll see what the day procures, but it's not looking good for responsibility.
My new meds are working. I've had more energy(ish) in the past few days than I have in a long time. I'm tired, but I don't feel overwhelmingly so. And my pain level has been fairly minimal. It makes me a little spacey and dizzy, though. It also gives me really bad dry mouth. But it hasn't increased my appetite (so far), so that's good. That was the side affect I was worried about most. If anything, because of the dry mouth, I feel like I've been eating less lately (although I still eat way too much crap food). And since I've been feeling better, I've been a little more active, so maybe it will all add up and I'll start loosing baby weight (and other weight!). That would be really nice.
I'm feeling the need to clean up and weed our backyard. It's a pretty big disaster at this point. We haven't mulched in a long time and you can tell!! I would really like to plant some things next year - sunflowers, tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, pumpkins, cucumbers, green peppers, maybe even some green beans. I don't really want a garden, though. I'd rather have plants in pots. I don't want more than 2 of each (except the green beans). Just enough so that we can have things on hand for salads and veggie side dishes. And zucchini bread! I've been wanting to do that for years, but with either being pregnant or having a new baby for the past 6 years, it hasn't happened. So, maybe next year.
I'm still looking for houses on the Internet. I keep wishing we could buy and renovate the first house we looked at. It could be perfect!
Well, I suppose I should go do something productive. Or eat breakfast. All I've had so far today is 1/2 a pop tart.
ttfn!
