But every gulp of the (fresh, cold, bottled) water that I take just tastes like the nasty bile I just puked up. Gag me.<\/p>\n<p>Yep, 2am pukings. No particular cause, other than &#8220;pregnancy.&#8221; Just woke up feeling bloated and nauseated. I did eat a handful of those sour gummy candies before bed&#8230; maybe they didn&#8217;t agree with me. (Although they tasted good. And I do NOT like sour candy. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve eaten anything like that since at least high school!) So I&#8217;m sitting here eating baby cookies and sipping on water and coke.<\/p>\n<p>::<\/p>\n<p>We got a new dishwasher months and months ago. Typically I am the one who loads, runs, and unloads the dishwasher. And I&#8217;ve been&#8230; slack. I do it when the sink full of dirty dishes starts to smell (although with my nose that&#8217;s been pretty quickly!)&#8230; I&#8217;ve been pretty bad&#8230; I just leave the clean dishes in the dishwasher, grabbing them from there until it&#8217;s nearly empty. So the other night when I got home from grocery shopping I brought in the first load of groceries and was just setting them down in front of the dishwasher when WHIRRR WHOOOSSSHHHH the dishwasher springs to life. I nearly yelped. For a half-second I thought the thing was possessed and had just gone off half-cocked. And then I glanced in the sink and realized&#8230; holy crap, it&#8217;s empty! Den unloaded the dishwasher&#8230; and loaded the dirty ones&#8230; and RAN THE DISHWASHER. I was shocked. I thanked Den!<\/p>\n<p>Then yesterday I get home from shopping at Walmart about a half-hour after Den got home. He was, of course, on his computer. I was hungry so I went to grab a clean dish from the dishwasher&#8230;. and the freakin&#8217; thing was empty! I swear to god, for a second there I really didn&#8217;t know where all the clean dishes had gone, I was thinking, &#8220;Holy shit, we couldn&#8217;t have dirtied all of them already&#8230;&#8221; I looked in the sink, it was empty. Then I cautiously opened up a cupboard and THERE THEY WERE!!! Clean dishes! In the cupboard! I think my jaw was on the floor at that point.<\/p>\n<p>I told Den later that we obviously totally under-paid on our dishwasher, since it&#8217;s magical and runs and unloads itself!! Den&#8217;s totally getting brownie points for THAT one! I am just so very thankful that I had one less thing to do.<\/p>\n<p>The other day, he scrubbed out the bathtub\/shower. And ran a couple loads of laundry. And <i>folded<\/i> laundry.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday at Walmart I bought a couple of small things to help organize my purse. That was what I did during the evening &#8211; got rid of all the papers and sorted them into a little receipt filer. That&#8217;s about the extent of my energy level lately. I&#8217;m sorry to say the house is looking pretty bad.<\/p>\n<p>::<\/p>\n<p>I got my new car! Isn&#8217;t she beautiful??<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.photobucket.com\/albums\/v240\/lunarmagic\/Other\/da98aa21.jpg\" alt=\"Car\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.photobucket.com\/albums\/v240\/lunarmagic\/Other\/2100512b.jpg\" alt=\"Car\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It certainly doesn&#8217;t look like a car that we had a tight budget on. It has a ton of miles on it, the upholstery could be in better shape&#8230; but it&#8217;s a 2001, it has power doors and windows, remote keyless entry&#8230; basically everything I was hoping to get, but wasn&#8217;t sure I could afford. It&#8217;s technically a mid-size sedan, it has a ton of room in the back for people (or babies!) and yet it feels like a smallish car to drive. It just FEELS good to drive. I&#8217;m just so thrilled!! After 2 and a half years it feels so good to have my own vehicle again! I&#8217;m just so excited about my car. :D<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Right now I really really want to drink water.
