I Took Some Pictures Today...

I haven’t picked up my camera at all since Christmas, but then I stumbled upon this scene when I woke up: Gold at the end of a rainbow.

Also photo worthy was the start of the Yukon Quest dog sled race, a 1o00 mile race between Whitehorse and Fairbanks, Alaska. Jasper and I left James and J.D. at home to wallow in part II of whatever virus waylaid us a couple of weeks ago, and we watched a few teams depart.  Then Jasper said to me, “Please go home now? I can’t stand on mine legs.”

I am 33 weeks pregnant now. I haven’t felt the need to comment too much on my progress because it’s all been very boring.  A little pelvic pain, I’ve started to waddle, I turn into an emotional dragon after 9 p.m. Blah blah blah.  But this week, oh this week, how the tables have turned.  Cholestasis of Pregnancy has found me once again (I wrote about it here) except that last time, I only had to die an itchy death for three days.  Now I’ve got at least four weeks before The Cure – delivery.
