Whirlwind

I hardly have time to think lately.

Cleaning. Midterms. Fall festivities. Decorating the new house. Cleaning. Aiden's 4 day (and counting!) diarrhea. Outfits for Boston. Cleaning. Laundry. Buy this. Return that. Freaking out about career directions. Groceries. Eyebrow wax. Cleaning.

That's my life. One thing to the next. No looking back, no looking too far ahead - it's just one moment at a time.

We leave for Boston in...oh...39-ish hours. Surreal? Yes. Luckily it's only an overnight stay that doesn't require an enormous amount of effort because we have zero ability to focus on something so minute right now. I was able to steal a half an hour at the mall last night to pick out an outfit, but I've already decided it's being returned for something a bit more...me. Trying to fit a second trip to Express in will be entertaining.

Aiden has blessed us with four smelly days of diarrhea and shows no signs of stopping. Take the smell of rotten hard-boiled eggs about 50 times and that's how bad his diapers smell from across the room. His poor little bottom is bright-red from it all. His pediatrician finally gave some ideas on how to put a kabosh to this whole ordeal so I'm hoping this is over by the time we leave. Apparently he has to stop producing tears before they really care about this diarrhea business. A bit extreme I think.

Most of the midterms for my classes have been posted. I'm ignoring them until I get back from our overnight rendezvous, which I will most likely regret. Why can't these professors just realize that there's no time for exams?! ::sigh::
