Thursday, January 15th - 3 Good Things: My Pat fix, a completed novel, and a happy baby

I was tired as all get out today. This was my fault as much as Grayson's because I stayed up until 1:30 reading Gone Girl. I couldn't put it down! Because I'm tired, this post is going to be a quickie, so I hope you like those. Here's why today was a gooder:

1. Pat came over for a long overdue coffee. She brought Starbucks. Pat + Starbucks = one of my favourite ways to spend any evening. I love this woman.

2. I finished Gone Girl. I loved it. I'm sad it's over, but glad it's over because reading it was taking over my life (which came at the expense of my sleep). I can't wait to see the movie now! I am also happy that I've finished the book because one of my goals for 2015 was to read a book a month and we're only half-way through January and I've already completed the first of the 12. I'm debating with myself on what to read next: another novel by the author of Gone Girl?

3. My little Grayson was such a happy boy today. He tolerated (and fell asleep for) a good hour or hour and a half in his swing today while I got Carter his breakfast and got all of us ready to leave the house for yet another doctor's appointment for me. Then this evening, he was just a happy little guy - smiling and chatting at me from his bouncer in the kitchen as I tidied up after supper. He even finished the night off by going to bed really well. It sure would be nice if he is as kind to me throughout the night, but I'm not holding my breath :)

Tomorrow is Friday, people. FRIDAY. Just sit on that for a second.

(By the way, the doctor said that my clogged duct issue should get better, but sometimes these things take time. She said I'm doing everything I should be doing and to just keep on doing those things. If in a week, I'm still having pain, come back. If at any point the fever comes back, or I start to find myself getting nauseous, to come back. But, I have to say that even now, nearly 12 hours after seeing her, I think the pain is lessening. Let's hope I'm right and not just on some kind of high from my visit with Pat and the delicious white chocolate mocha that she brought for me!)
