Day 231: Relaxed

Good news is Eis did better last night.  She only woke up twice to eat and three times to change... not all separate.. I'd say four wake-ups overall.  Yes, that is still a lot, I know.

She woke up at 0645, which sucked, since I had to wake up 45 minutes later for Zumba.  However, I nursed her for 15 minutes, then she went back to sleep and I took a short nap.  I was hurting when I woke up.  I got ready to go, then forgot where I had put my purse and keys.  Eventually, I remembered they were in the bathroom and I was able to leave.

I forgot my ankle weights in the car and didn't realise it until I was in the middle of the first song and I didn't want to leave to go get them, so I did without.  However, I am not sure if I do better with them.  Maybe I'll just use them one specific day a week or something.  It's definitely harder to move with them and not only do I not have time to eat before, but I can't because I have just taken my pill and I can't eat until an hour after my pill.

After Zumba, I came home and Eis was up and chatting with my dad in the kitchen.  I showered, then searched all over for my clothes.  My room is all "clean and organised," which means I don't know where anything is.  I had to wear my pinkish Zumba pants, with a blue, Pony shirt, and my hot pink sneakers. It was a bit clashy, but I couldn't find anything else!  By the time I was ready to nurse Eis, she was already taking another nap.  I knew I couldn't wake her and I would be gone when she woke and she'd be starving, so I prepared a bottle for my dad to give her when she woke up.

I had a little time, so I called Chase, since they believed our homeowners insurance policy was expired, and they wouldn't talk to me cause my name wasn't on the stuff and they didn't have a POA.  So, instead of telling them our policy info on the phone, I had to do it online.  I'm learning how idiotic all the POA stuff is.  I can apparently do anything I want, provided I have Ty's info, online.  It seems like the system really only serves to complicate the matters of those who are trying to be honest.  If I wanted to screw someone over and I didn't have a POA, I'd just do it all online and not have to speak to anyone.  Not only would it be safer for me, as the criminal, but it would be quicker.

I left for rehab when I finished.  It was pretty good.  I am feeling a bit sore now, but I'm hoping that I'll feel better tomorrow. My mom said she bought me a massage, so I'm excited to use that sometime soon.  Ty said he wanted to get me a massage for Valentine's Day, but there's no point.  I'd rather him not spend his money on something my parents buy for me.  It's strange to think that our first Valentine's Day together will be as parents (and I mean, next year).

I got to catch up on a few shows and brush Puck today.  Plus, I was doing tummy time/rollover time with Eis and my dad came and took her.  He was still on the floor, holding her, and Puck came to play with me and Eisley was squealing and giggling every time Puck would run in or out of the room.  She thought it was the greatest thing.

At one point, I was in the nursery and my dad brought Eis in and sat her in the boppy to play.  He left and Puck jumped up and laid down next to her.  I watched her sucking on her rubadub, but on every part of him, but the pacifier.  Eventually, she got frustrated and started to cry and Puck jumped up and looked at her, then gave me this look like, "Don't touch her unless you're going to fix it!" Then, when I put the pacifier in her mouth, Puck decided it was ok and he laid back down.  He gets a bit more protective every day.  He also gets a little closer every day.  He let her pet him a few times recently, though when I'm sitting on the floor with her in my lap and I'm petting him, too.  I just have to watch and make sure she doesn't pull his ears or rip out his fur -- I keep trying to show her "gentle" and "nice" ways to pet Puck.

I had to use the flash to compensate for the extreme backlighting, but it kept giving an odd glare on the right side of the pic... oh well.

Tonight, we went to Rocco's for dinner.  I had a glass of La Crema Chardonnay and it was quite delicious.  It was a $10, but was supposed to be $8 for happy hour, however, the guy charged me for the Alamos Chardonnay which was $6, but $4 happy hour price!  Essentially, I got a $10 glass of wine for $4.  I also changed things up a bit and got the lobster ravioli (special), but gave some to my mom and she got the bella ravioli and gave me some.  The lobster ravioli was yummy, but not worth almost twice as much as the bella.  The bella is just as good, if not better, since the flavours are a bit more subtle.

It was a good dinner and Eis got to see ducks for the first time, though she didn't really care... I think she's still too young or they were too far -- I don't know. We came home and my folks went to see a movie.  I fed and bathed Eis, then put her down.  I will go to sleep while I can, since I have Zumba at 0800.
