I've spent the first hour of my day picking up the slack for people who don't want to work. Not the people in my office but people on a community coalition organizing (or disorganizing) the zoo event. It is very appropriate for us to have this event at the zoo; that's what this committee feels like -- a zoo.

If I send you something in Excel, don't copy it to the body of an email and send it back. duh.

I met with my doula last night. It made me feel much better. I need her support so that I can know what my choices are for birth. I am keeping my Monday appointment with my current OB/GYN, and she is coming with me. I have a LOOONG list of questions for him that she and I discussed last night. I feel more in control of things and she gave me some good ideas. One of them was to be more positive in the things I write in this blog. I'll put something positive in here everyday (or at least try). Being a social worker and knowing just a little about human psychology, I KNOW that being positive helps your attitude and your mental health. Getting there is a little more difficult. For me, what makes being positive difficult is when I have physical pain.

I talked to my boss yesterday again about a decision on working from home. He has not discussed it with the board yet and said that he would have to do that. I don't want to pressure him for a decision, but I need to know something soon. I have a feeling this will be a play it by ear thing. That's how everything is for him.

I tried to call my mom at work but I can't get ahold of her. I wanted to talk to her about meeting with the doula.

More later....
