Fri 9 Feb 2007
I didn’t go to work yesterday. I thought if I slept in (which I did), and relaxed all day (which I did), my body would somehow heal itself (which it didn’t). I didn’t even blog yesterday, and the only blogger I was in contact with was Jordan, who’d called and left a voice mail message of a baby showing off its very healthy lungs. That’s the entire voice mail. I listened to it while sitting on the toilet after getting out of bed, and wondered whether Jordan was trying to entice me with babies, or annoy me with babies, or simply tell me she was at work playing with babies. All it really did was make me feel sorry for myself as my lungs were nowhere near the capacity the baby’s lungs were belting out. Jordan did call back that evening, and her nursy powers diagnosed me as having bronchitis now. Great.
I didn’t blog yesterday so as to give the spotlight to a very special birthday girl. And she didn’t blog, either! In fact, she hadn’t blogged since February 2, 2007. Can you guess who it is? Here are some more clues. She’s smart yet doofus-y, blonde yet witty, secure/stable yet entertaining/dramatic, young yet mom, petite yet bigger-than-life, cute yet don’t-piss-her-off-or-she’ll-yell-at-you-and-throw-your-tickets-right-out-the-window-of-a-moving-vehicle. Happy birthday, big sister! We love you!
P.S. I lied earlier. I didn’t blog cuz I was lazy.
Is it Jordan? HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
My $$ is on Jordan too. And since I cheated by going to her blog.
I hope you’re feeling better. Don’t wait too long and let it form into pneumonia. Be careful out there.
It IS Jordan…but she didn’t show up to admit it! Joooordan! Jooooordan (dan dan dan)
I have been working CRAZY hours all week. Yesterday, (on my day off), I was called in to be the discharge nurse (no wise cracks).. and ended up being there for over 10 hours. I dishcharged 25+ babies and moms. I would have liked to have said “you can go home now.. bye.. see ya… follow up with your ob in 6 weeks and take the baby to a pediatrician in a few days” but they won’t let me…
THANK YOU for the birthday shout out…. I’m ignoring this birthday, sort of. I can’t believe I’ve entered another decade… wahhhhh… but the upside of the whole thing is NO ONE believed I was the age I am … 🙂
I’ve come to realize the numbers of years mean nothing, as long as you don’t look the part, and are doing well otherwise. For example, if I turned 35 last year and look 26, and I’m healthy, fit, financially secure, got my house, my car, taking my vacations to great places, got my boyfriend linked tightly to my arm, then who cares if technically I was born 35 years ago? I’m doing better than other 35 yr olds. (Of course when I ACTUALLY turn 35 I may be singing a different tune.)
My last b-day people thought I just turn 18. I was so happy! 🙂 I don’t see it…but who cares people think I am alsmost 10 years younger…SWEET!
