''To dream the impossible dream, to fight the unbeatable foe, to bear with unbearable sorrow, to run where the brave dare not go, to right the unrightable wrong, to love, pure and chaste, from afar; to try when your arms are too weary; to reach the unreachable star. This is my Quest---to follow that star, no matter how hopeless, no matter how far, to fight for the right without question or pause'' (The Impossible Dream - lyrics by Joe Darion, music by Mitch Leigh)
I haven't really felt much like writing lately. Which is sad. But the morning sickness has subsided to a once or twice a week extravaganza, mostly when I forget the rules. I can't eat a lot or eat too fast or eat anything with a hint of garlic. I need to have my big meal at lunch because I can't eat late at night. Fun stuff like that.
The latest in the pregnancy pains is my back. I've lost 15 lbs since the start of my pregnancy so it's not the added weight. I think having the mattress and box spring on the floor started to bother it, then walking around Ikea for about an hour put the final nail in the coffin.
The bedroom looks awesome though. While Purge put together the new headboard and bed frame, I put all the summer clothes in the closet and tidied up the corners of the room.

http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S99839354 - the bed frame. Not too exciting, but the cats can fit under the bed again. Unfortunately, it's too narrow for any drawers or baskets, but I *think* a rhoomba can get under there.
And since Purge moved the furniture and put the computer armoire from the nursery to the bedroom, I also get to bring back my writing stuff to the bedroom. I'll probably do that while he's working on the walls in the spare room. The chair that goes with the armoire is an assbuster, so I'm going to knit a cover on an old pillow and use that for a pillow pad. I wonder what happened to my nasty, but comfy fabric chair that I used to use. It doubled as a cat bed and scratching post. I typed many a night away with a cat on the back of the head rest. posted by Tempest at 2:57 PM[edit]
