Back2Work

I am back to work. 

I tend to leave house before DH and F. DH drops her to daycare daily and I pick her up in the evening. 

DH continues to breeze in late evening (8:45 pm - ish). He is divine when he is home. Figlia immediately slips off and hounds him. I can get a chance to go pee and not be followed by her. 

Figzy has finally started watching TV, and is interested in directing what is played on it at what time. 

I have this stupid rash someplace on my torso, and had crazy itching all over my back two nights back. I was okay the whole day, and the itching recurred last evening. Just like the night before, I took an antihistamine to kill the itching. 

It is now that I realize that I am drowsy, yawning and feeling dull, and it could be the drug. I had a wave of sleep roll over me yesterday noon at work. And today, the waves are just crashing into me. 

But I am not thrilled to be back here. I am just going through the motion of coming to my job, and don't feel ready to do anything. It would be fine if they just pay me, and not make me work, but that won't happen, would it?

My workplace is competitive. I will not take it to cut-throat but seriously, if chopping someone's credibility, pitting one against the other, or manipulation works, we do have some masters on that art present here. And I have no fire in my belly, just lot of gas.

M has begun grinding his gums, a sure sign of teething. But he is more than a fortnight shy of 5 months, and so this appears early to me.

  1. Don't worry about the competition at work - for now, just go and do your thing and use it as a way to take a break from the demands of family. You can ease back into the competition slowly - it's always going to be there.

    If you do, however, find that job that will pay you and not require you to do any actual work, please let me know. I've been searching for it forever.

    I bet Figlia is thrilled to have Daddy at her beck and call again...

I Should Have Known

...On the night of 19th when my breasts became hard and sore to touch, the nurses brought me hot water bottles rather than my baby. I should have known. ...Birdman was apparently away to Very Big City with our baby. Every SMS update sent to me about her after 16th Jan was fake. I was a donkey eating at his trough. I should have known. ...Visitors who came to see me in the hospital did not look me straight in the eye. I should have known. ...My mother sounded reluctant every time I asked her on a timeline on when my stitches would be cut and I could travel to Very Big City. I should have known. ...I grieved at how many pricks and tubes were affixed to my little baby while she lay cold and unfeeling at the bottom of an earth pit fatigued from all the effort she put into staying alive. I should have known. ...Family dropped clues on how oxygen deprivation could affect the brain. I spelt it out for them. I told them that Lola was my daughter even if she came out r-e-t-a-r-d-e-d from the o...

Season...

With very limited time and access to the netz, I just want to declare that Lady Season is here. She arrived last Wednesday, and I will someday in future speak of how due to SuperPed's preparedness a crisis was averted. I tend to have firework endings. Her with me, and my first chance of mothering is like a spray of cold water on my face. I am very sleep deprived. Apparently, wise birds said to me that I should sleep when the girl sleeps, but so far my body schedule and kid's schedule are haywire. I hope to be better adapted to this soon. It is tough for me to find net time as of now, and there are a couple of things I want to post online, since CBub's dates also passed by recently, but so far it does not seem to be happening. And I just want to say thanks. Even though I am craptastic at responding, I am reading off and on as I can manage.
