So. Sore. And. Tired. Cant. Move...Sailing really takes a lot out of you, especially when its cold and its an all day thing. Its a ton of fun, but when you finally get home and sit down its like someone just took the batteries out of your back. Energizer no more. We had a good time. Went out on a last minute race, which was postponed, which was then cancelled. So all 60-some odd boats went back to thier slips, however we stayed out. Had the race waited another 30 minutes, we would have been fine because the wind picked up. We were out for 6 hours doing 9 knots. Thats pretty dang good. Im just ready for bed.
My "round ligaments" as they call them, are hurting like mad now though. Its not excruciating or anything like period cramps, its just sharp little stabbing pains that feel like they are 3-5 inches long and throbbing really really slowly. More irritating than anything else, but necessary for uterine and baby growth so I try to enjoy them. (although im not sure enjoy is the right word for that.)
I still feel like Im on the boat. Sitting down, I feel like I am rocking back and forth. Which means getting to sleep tonight is going to take for bloody ever. Still have to work on my talk for church that is coming up in a few weeks. Right now Ive got a jumbled mess of notes. Im sure I will pull through, I am just hoping I can articulate and speak slow enough to take up a half hour or more since hubs only wants to do 15 min of his half hour. Im sure I can come up with something good.
Went shopping today. Actually, I should say I was forced to go shopping today. Baby Morris is now forcing me out of my normal clothes and into bigger sizes. Im not maternity just yet, but was able to find a pair of jeans that look alright I guess and a dress that I think is actually rather flattering on my new-larger body. (Id say figure, but im not sure I have one anymore.) I am also pleased to know that the maxi dress is coming back into style. I tried one on and ooooohhhh the comfort!! It was such a soft jersey knit... I have to wait to get it just cuz its $25, but I can wait. Perhaps since they are coming into style this season I can find a little more modest one that I dont have to wear a jacket over or a shirt under. We'll see. So far the most comfy thing ever is sweats and a sweatshirt. However, I am refusing to turn into a shlumpadinka as Oprah so fittingly calls it.
Still weighing the going blonde option... cant decide. I was a very nice shade of blonde for many years, then went back to my natural brown and some variations of it. The only thing that I didnt like about being blonde was the constant root upkeep (my hair grows freakin fast even not being prego) and no one takes you seriously. Ever. Oh and the blonde jokes? Dont start me on that one. Although when I had black hair, I couldnt get away from the Elvira jokes. I cant win.
Holy crap Im so ready to hit the hay. Or rather, my cozy bed in front of the fireplace in my Chateau in the Swiss Alps during a storm. Thats my "meditation" I do to be able to relax and make my bed as comfortable as possible. Pretending I am in the most comfortable bed ever is very relaxing. And it definetly helps that Ive got a nuclear reactor for a husband right next to me to perhaps simulate how warm it would be if I did indeed have a fireplace.
Had a taco bell fit tonight... tried a new thing from them that ive never had... the super crunch something or other.... very good. not big enough, but very good. I think I am over my taco bell craving stage though... just not feeling it anymore. I wish I could crave broccoli or something.
Ow. Ligaments. Ow. Alright, Im closing up shop for the night. Hope you all had a wonderful day.
