Downs

• I’m still feeling poorly from yesterday. I feel like I’m starving but the thought of food is repulsive. I also felt pretty achy so I took some Advil and managed to perk up after a bit.
• Not only did Calvin have a bad night but I woke up separately starving (or sick, it’s hard to tell the difference). By 5am I gave in and fed Calvin and then held him while we both dozed till 7. I was exhausted and was grateful when he took his morning nap so I could follow.

Ups

• Daycare. I’m not sure I’ve mentioned this before but daycare is a life saver. After I took Calvin to daycare I worked for a couple of hours to catch up on email and then took the rest of the day off to relax.

Cute Calvin Moment

• During Calvin’s bath tonight, I started singing “If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands.” To my surprise, Calvin started clapping his hands when I was singing (before I clapped). I tried it several times during the bath and each time he clapped his hands so it wan’t a fluke.

Simplification

• I managed to give away my dehydrator today to one of the Second Start Community Gardeners. It’s a nice dehydrator that I got for $5 at the thrift store. I could have donated it back to the thrift store but I thought a gardener might have more use for it. You never know if someone is going to find it at the thrift store.

Food Diary

• Breakfast – Oatmeal with Raisins and Soymilk
• Lunch – Miso Soup and Peach Yogurt
• Supper – Cheese & Spinach Ravioli. I know I need to eat something else but inspiration hasn’t struck me yet.
