It's been a good past couple of weeks. I've been busy revamping my gardens, planting herbs and my first veggies, and working on converting my previously full sun garden to a full shade garden. This wasn't my original plan, but trees have grown to a point to where it's made it a perfect shady corner garden. Except for the early morning hours, it is in full shade the entire day. Very relaxing indeed. My little bear went with my in laws yesterday evening, and is spending the weekend with them. It's nice. I refuse to feel guilty because he stays over with people on average once a month. I refuse to feel guilty for having weekly or every other week date nights sans the peej. If little PJ's parents have any hope of a long lasting and happy marraige, then he'll have to have some overnights and babysitter nights. Plus, his babysitter and her backup are both cousins. One I babysat myself when she was his age. Ahh the circles that are always turning in our lives. And he only stays over with my sister or one of his many sets of grandparents. It's all good. He loves it. I enjoy the break from 24/7 toddlerdom. When I go back outside, I'm going to take some pictures of my garden areas and post on here. So far, this blog has been very wordy and not very pic friendly.
I 'get' to go to the doctor on Monday. I'm not excited about it, but I am eagerly anticipating it. I've been experiencing fatigue a lot since having PJ. I understand some as a result of the different life, but on bad days, I wake exhausted, nap when he naps, still wake tired, and spend the entire day counting the minutes till bedtime. I'm tired of being tired. Hopefully he'll be able to figure out whats going on. I thought initially it was from breastfeeding him and waking at night with a baby. But then he started sleeping at night. And then he eventually weaned. So then I thought it was because I'd become too sedentary, so I became more active. But that doesn't help whatsoever. Perhaps anemic? Took iron pills, and they helped. But if I missed a day, the fatigue was right back where it started, not to mention I took them for the better part of 3 months with no real sign of them really helping a lot. I currently live on caffeine. My average day sees around 2 cups of coffee and 2 cokes. Bad days will see around 3-4 sodas and at least 3 cups of coffee. Obviously all the soda and coffee fills me up, so I really don't eat much. Sometimes I'll munch for lunch and I usually eat dinner of some sort. Today I had some leftover dessert from our date last night for brunch.
Enough for today. Perhaps a nap is in order. At the very least, Jane Austen is calling my name. It's the perfect weather for some old fashioned romance.
