I thought I was totally done with errands but I ended up going on more today. It’s nice to be able to get so much done during the day now that I’m not working, but yesterday I tried to stay home and work on art. I had the same plans for today but my body is showing more signs that I’m getting close to going into labor, so I panicked and had to run out for more stuff.
It’s been really nice working on the hexagon quilt for Juniper so I wanted to get the rest of the material I needed to finish it. I decided to make it crib sized so she can use it until she gets her big girl bed (our crib converts to a toddler bed). Since my sewing machine is back from the shop and working well, I feel more inspired to do more sewing and I wanted to have everything I needed here. So that meant a trek out to Fabric Depot. I stopped at Columbia Art on the way to replace a pen, but they didn’t have the kind I needed. After Fabric Depot I ran by Portland Nursery to get a branch cutter so we can whack down some of the bamboo threatening to take over the yard. Then I stopped at New Seasons for milk, snacks, and vitamins. I am completely bored with my food options and am dreaming of slices of pizza.
Tonight Tom is taking me to Noble Rot for dinner. Might be our last adult only meal out for a long while. My latest prediction is that I’ll be in labor by the weekend. We’ll see if I’m right. If I’m wrong, it means we get to enjoy the Killingsworth street festival in our neighborhood. If I’m right, it means the midwives will have nowhere to park, and forget laboring on the porch, our street will be heavy with foot traffic.
Well, it looks like it’s nap time.
