Strange Days, Indeed...

sakon76The thing about not going in to an office, 9-5, 5 days a week, is that it becomes all too easy to lose track of the days. What day of the week is it? What day of the month is it? Without that delineation between workday and weekend, it all begins to blur.
Squiddle's sleep patterns are, sadly, not improving. As in, I think I caught a couple brief naps last night when I dropped off on the glider, him held safe on my lap, between feedings. Every time I thought he was sound asleep and I tried to put him down in the bassinet, he was back awake and wanting attention within twenty minutes. Wonderful Husband has started back at work this week and has a commute to deal with, so the bulk of nighttime care now falls to me. Yesterday, four different people told him "it gets better," so we're clinging to that.
Squiddle and I have finished reading Pride and Prejudice and have moved on to Blood of Tyrants, the new Naomi Novik book, which my inlaws gave me as a birthday present. No sooner did I realize where Laurence was in chapter one than my "oh, sh*t!" meter went off. I'll be interested to see where this goes, and who (if in fact he is anyone significant) his host is....
My inlaws also gave me volume 5 of A Bride's Story, which gave me my usual reaction of "Where is the next volume? What do you mean it's not out yet even in Japanese? Waah! ;_; " It's the only manga series I'm following right now, and it says something about it that I read it twice, handed it off to Wonderful Husband, and he read it within one evening. Good stuff.

tainry, have you picked up this volume yet?)
I'm also starting to slowly clear off the recorded TV shows we haven't touched in nearly a year. This due probably to Marvel's Agents of SHIELD starting and giving us something to draw us to the television. Haven't watched this week's episode yet (perhaps tonight), but last night we started in on our 42-episode backlog of Grimm.

Date: 2013-10-03 05:35 am (UTC)SIL and Brotherman still co-sleep with Little Nephew (I think that's the term? He's supposedly got a bassinet and now a crib, but he ends up with them, or beside SIL with one side of the crib down?) and SIL hasn't had regular sleep in a year and a half. Hopefully for your sake this has more to do with Little Nephew being an individual than babies in general?
In theory I tend to have a romanticized view of co-sleeping and the Kenny Loggins version family bed idea; it sounds really comforting and lovely as an idea. But I am a bit crabby about sharing a bed - not that I can't, certainly (cons, vacations, even camping in tents, etc., no problem I'm game I'm up for it I'll give im a taste of Dwarvish steel right up his jacksie), but I'm not used to it. XD
(OMG have you seen/heard the new Desolation of Smaug trailer???????????????????)
Oooh oooh no I didn't know it was out! ::runs in circles:: ::slides on over to amablob::
