lessons learned

i'm beginning to remember some of the things i liked so well about my pre-motherhood life... like NyQuil... which i wasn't allowed to take for some 27 months, and by then i had forgotten how well it works (though i must admit, i'm fairly certain - - now - - that it works better on those who don't have a diet with a 10 - 15% alcohol content).

i slept SO well last night that i almost felt human this morning when i woke. of course, then i had to go and ruin it all by actually moving. that's when i realised that the inner workings of my right ear had joined the enemy forces. now, not only can i not hear so well, but i'm significantly off.

i know this is my karmic return for having messed with the cray fish in high school biology.

anywho, just so you don't think that i'm entirely anti-motherhood, one of the best things i learned from being pregnant and nursing is to never underestimate the power of pre-natal vitamins. i chalk this current misery up to the fact that in my sieve-headedness last week, i forgot to take my vitamins on a daily basis.
