Week 9

I ended up at 165 lbs on Monday morning. This week proved the argument made by Elle Woods in Legally Blonde:


Exercise gives you endorphins. 
Endorphins make you happy. 
Happy people just don't kill their husbands.


Joe had his first set of law school finals this week. Which meant a lot of studying at home and at school. Joe was really awesome about helping out with Lily in the evenings and Lily, thankfully, had a great week of sleep. It's like she knew it was going to be a stressful week and saved up all her fussiness for the days that Joe actually had finals. Thursday was a complete disaster, and the first of Joe's tests. So Friday morning Joe was an angel and let me do some yoga all by myself. Then later that afternoon it was really nice out so Lily and I went for a leisurely winter stroll while Joe did some work. After that I felt ready to be the main caretaker again through the weekend so Joe could prepare for his test on Monday. Monday she screamed all day and all evening. She didn't have a fever, she might have had some gas, but whatever it was it passed and she slept soundly that night. Then yesterday was the first day of winter break, and Lily was back to her cheerful self and Joe amused her while I got to clean the kitchen and cook good food. And we went for a walk in the sunshine. The take-home message of this week for me is to keep doing things and going outside because that is clearly what keeps me sane.
