Flashing Lights

They say that when you're having a bad day, all you have to do is serve someone else and feel better. While I usually don't remember this advice until my woe-is-me has passed, today I feel inspired by it.

My pregnant belly has decided that all food is yucky today and that any nourishment ingested will be immediately EXgested. It has also decreed that the baby is super hungry and therefore I am wanting to eat. And I've just come home from a lovely trip to see my Megan get married to her Josh, which means my real life has been waiting and waiting for me to come back.

But one more day off, my belly says, won't hurt because it's my time to be put first.

Bad day. A la the miracle of life.

Sooooo, I've decided that I'm going to try to do very small good deeds for the people I love in my life. I'll list them here, just in case they're too miniscule for those people to notice.

For Whitney, since I understand that she's not very happy with me right now, I've decoded the mysterious Google Reader and added her wonderful photography blog to it. Google Reader may be awesome or it may just be, but I wanted to show her that it does matter to me what she says. Also, I've downloaded the podcast she suggested for me, though it's still un-listened to.

For Shell and Julie, I've brought some fabulous Disney treats that were still in my backpack. I have now moved them into the fridge, however, because they'll be much tastier that way.

For Megan, I'm not calling her on her honeymoon, though I am just bursting with curiosity about how being a married girl is for her. I know a few people made some phone calls to us on our honeymoon and now I'm trying to learn from their mistakes.

For old and new friends, I'm going to write letters tonight. Be they short or long, these letters will probably contain many of the wonderful things I think about them all the time.

And for my sweet husband Caleb, who had to suffer while I was gone, I've written on my blog. I know that he likes to see something new to read, especially if it comes from his wife's brain. I was blessed with good health long enough to enjoy his company last night and help him get a good night's sleep. So, being sick today is well worth it
