The nature of hormonal mood swings, I guess.
But any of these things might have made the difference:
- I got enough sleep last night. Leo only fussed three times.
- I got up at 7 AM today, which is much more like my normal routine, and consequently Leo and I had an hour to ourselves this morning.
- We went to the gym today and I walked around the track. "It's a new PR!" said Mark when I reported my 16:39 mile. ("A four-kids PR," he explained when I objected.)
- I crammed myself into a pair of intermediately-sized jeans today. Well, actually I crammed a set of Spanx into the jeans, but not before I crammed myself into the Spanx.
– I think maybe I have defeated the bladder infection with lots of water and cranberry juice. At least, I don't notice any pain.
- I am currently having a coffee and sitting in a Borders with free wi-fi. That's always a plus.
- The postpartum-randomly-ravenously-hungry seems to have dissipated, which means I can now return to having balanced, healthful, regular, reasonably-sized meals instead of randomly raiding the kitchen all day for whatever looks like it couls raise my blood sugar. I think this will help me feel better, mentally at least.
- I am now the proud owner of a box of absorbent pads for tucking into my bra. Don't underestimate the importance of this one.
- Dinner is in the crock-pot.
- I just bought some new cookbooks. (See above re: Borders)
Maybe I'll be weeping again tomorrow. Stay tuned.
