This morning Jack got up way before me to get ready to go to an early study group. Awhile after he got up, I woke up briefly. I laid on my back with my hands on my stomach and felt Clara kick and move occasionally, and I could hear Jack singing to himself in the shower, and I thought "I already love my little tiny family." :)
Yesterday wasn't a great day because I started my fire trials at the fire station for my research, and they were very frustrating. However, after the fire station I went back to lab and vented to our program's very maternal secretary, who was comforting and helped me come up with some options. I also went to buy charcoal at the local hardware store, and the clerk who helped me asked a lot of questions and showed a lot of interest. It was satisfying to tell him about my project; it made the project seem cool to me again, instead of hopeless. :-P The clerk also got a cart and put the charcoal in the cart for me, since I'm not supposed to lift more than 20lbs. So that was a nice gesture. AND the store was filled with pretty happy Christmas decor, and even though it's a bit early for me for Christmas, it was very cheerful.
I leave in about half an hour to try the fire trials again. We'll see how it goes.
