Well, I’m thinking about knitting. That’s good, right?
Things are a little better. Thank you all so much for the help and advice. Nate has been making a lot of wonderful juice, and I think it’s helped. This morning I had one with watermelon, pineapple, and ginger. The watermelon juice he made yesterday was nothing short of divine, and I don’t remember what all was in it. Today, I’m looking forward to making a juice with tomatoes, carrots, celery, and lime. It’ll probably be a freshy V-8 type juice, which sounds wonderful. I love celery and carrot juice.
A lot of the recipes in our book have parsley or mint in them, so I’m already planning to add to my little herb garden (which right now consists of a pot of basil) next spring.
The bracelets really seem to help, so thank you all for that suggestion. I’d never heard of them before your comments.
Today my top priority is to clean up the house a bit and to clean my fish tanks. It’s been two weeks since I cleaned them last, which isn’t that bad, but my fish are all looking a bit drowsy, and they’re not quite as happy as usual. It’s so strange how much personality goldfish have. Before I made the switch from tropicals, I thought of goldfish as being food for bigger fish. Like the Oscars I had for awhile. They just seemed, well, disposable. But now I have a tank of huge and gorgeous Sarasas, (and a cast off lionhead that won’t leave the females in my second tank alone. We named him Klingon), and a second tank in my room with a pretty little Lionhead and a chocolate crowned Pearlscale. They’re all healthy, docile, and so personable. It’s fun.

Yours is the first blog I have ever responded to! I have been reading several favorites (Poor Miss & Blue Blog) for a year.
I finally signed up for a sock class and I am ready to start the heal on my first sock. I hope they are as much fun as everyone says.
Anyway, I think your children are adorable and when I read that you are pregnant I just wanted to extend my congratulations! I have two granddaughters that live in Australia and I live in Utah which is half way around the world. Good Luck in the coming months.

Glad to here that you are feeling better and starting to think about knitting! That’s a leap in the right direction! Hope you feel 100% better soon

Actually, if you’re thinking about herbs, I say start now! When I moved to Seattle last August, it took me a little while to get my act together plant-wise, and so it was well into September when I finally bought herbs (little pots of growing ones, not seeds). They took off, and grew through December. A brief winter slumber and then they were back in fine form by March. Worse case, you’ll probably spend less on seedlings than you would on a pack of cut herbs at the grocery store. And I’m sure you know this, but you may want to keep the mint in a pot (and check frequently to make sure it isn’t growing through) — the stuff is tenacious. I ended up ripping all of mine out because it was taking over.

CONGRATULATIONS!! I’m so happy for you!! I have no idea that being pregnant would be so uncomfortable, wish you’ll get better soon 😉
And juices are delicious, but according to chinese beliefs, watermelon isn’t good for pregnant woman.
