Bored and Cold

Ok, today was miserable.

The flat we live in has sold to a new landlord and it closes on Friday. Our present landlords are trying to get some last minute work done on the house before it closes, so I spent the entire day without power huddled under a pile of blankets since it is freezing up here. I'm finding the more I try to "relax" the more surprises come my way. It's all good though.

I have a nurse that is visiting me at home daily to check my blood pressure and listen to the baby. She mentioned today that I'm doing well, even when I showed her my ankles that can no longer be distinguish from my legs. She suggested I was doing much better than some of her other patients. I guess it's all relative. Anyways, I may go to seeing her only every other day, which is promising since I don't seem to be getting worse. She brought me three videos ("14 steps" - sounds like a self-help program, and TWO dvds entitled "understanding birth, a comprehensive guide". I don't think I want to know 2 dvds worth about birth yet) to watch which I'm sort of frightened by - my blood pressure may increase upon viewing, so I may wait for Chris to come home to put these in.
