Aug. 13th, 2007 11:49 pmAstrid fell down today and bloodied her mouth. It was horrible. A bag of frozen milk made it all better, though. Well, mostly better. She's waking and crying more than usual, so I suspect it still hurts.
I think I'm going to try to keep frozen bananas stocked in the freezer for that purpose. That's easier and more multipurpose than pumping.
I also think I need to institute a self-rule that if I don't finish a (typical length) book within a week, I have to start a different one. I can read much faster than one book a week, but tend to get hung up on a slow book for months on end if I let myself. I'm a little annoyed with myself because I have to take a book that I really wanted to read back to the library before getting a chance to read it because I got hung up on another book that I'm enjoying, but it just isn't going very fast. It also isn't in as high-demand as the other, so it isn't on hold and I can renew it. Premeditatedly stopping in the middle just rubs me the wrong way, though.
My grandmother sent me copies of letters sent to her family by her brother during WWII, complete with censored portions (starting with "This must have been censored out of the last letter, but"...) and a code he used to tell where he was stationed. Very interesting. Unlike this post :)
