not all palm trees and sunshine...

today was another stellar florida day. i was actually complaining that it is so damn sunny here all the time. in japan, i suffered from the lack of sun after living 24 years under constant assault from our solar companion. i am missing autumn though i suppose 85 degrees in october is a rare opportunity that others pine for as they examine their fall/winter waredrobes.


i am trying to knit a baby blanket for ingrid. i am not much of a knitter because it takes so long but i enjoy doing it because it is portable and because it takes so long. i figure i have at least 4 more weeks until ingrid should need a grey and purple oddly shaped blanket so i am trying to enjoy the process and not rush myself. i visited the midwife again today. jason agrees that the birthing rooms there are way more equipped to handle her birth than our apartment. they are super nice and there is a good jacuzzi tub with sturdy handles which may not impress those of you who aren't expected to push a baby into the world, but it impressed me.

oh yeah, a rat update. here is the "fixed" hole. a brick and a piece of wood. i mentioned the rat poison but i didn't mention the guilt i feel in contributing to their death. so tonight when you kneel down, please remember to say a few words for all those innocent rats who were just looking for a better life but instead kicked the bucket under my apartment. amen.
