Hi, folks,

Thanks for checking in on me Des, Koshka, Andy, and Ellie.

Ellie, thank goodness it's cooled off here. I was miserable in my un-AC'd top-floor home office, even with a desktop fan 8 inches away from me.

Things are rough, then good, then rough... the pregnancy is going very well and the discomfort is minimal. I'm still feeling good - well, when I'm not sitting at my desk 12 hours a day, which I have been diong for the last 3 weeks 7 days a week. My deadlines are piled on top of each other, and work has really been insane.

Work continues on the house, slowly but surely. Tension is high with S., because of his stress and continued blame (on me) for the "unreasonable deadline" I "bullied" him into. And no matter what, I "just don't understand." So I've stayed away for the most part. We pass each other once or twice a day, and he comes home after I've gone to bed. Not much room for screwing up or making good, but somehow we've managed to do both.

I'll spare you the gory details, but we're both in high stress mode and it's taking its toll on the R. Moving day is next week, and the house is far from finished, my deadlines are far from over, and I haven't packed the first thing.

So I'll get off the boards now and get back to work...

I hope to start posting again more regularly soon.

Jennifer
