- 18:36 Went swimming today b/c it was 107. Took swim test to be allowed in deep end, but River didn't like me being away from him. Water was warm. #
- 08:07 What's disgusting is that many of the job ads on Craigslist seem to be outright scams. WTF, people? We jobless don't have any money to scam! #
- 13:25 Off to buy suit/ business clothes for interviews. Yes, it's been so long since I've had an interview that I don't own anything appropriate. #
- 09:20 @BillyBuddy I've sort of wondered that as well, about those green icons. #
- 16:00 I think I'm getting sick. Yeah, that's what I needed. #
- 16:01 @timpratt So THAT'S what happened to the cute dino shirt! I wondered! #
- 18:34 "Thriller" was the first album I ever bought. We did the dance to it as a finale @ dance recital one year. Mourned him long ago, but still. #
- 15:00 Am alternating between "Am freeeee!!!" and "Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck" today. Thank gods for the YMCA's financial aid; working out hard helps. #
- 16:31 @susanmarie I probably should, even with financial aid, but it gives me someplace to go every morning, & is good for my stress levels. #
- 10:00 My friends are firing me up in all sorts of ways to look for work in all sorts of places. The support & sympathy has been awesome thank you! #
- 10:01 @SydBlakovich Dude, it's cause they've all been laid off, too! Seriously, sorry to hear you were cut, too. It was great working with you! #
- 17:25 Laid off 90 minutes ago. Was 1 of 3 let go. Am still in shock. Trying to rally & develop a taste for ramen and dumpster diving. Yep, shock. #
- 13:17 I realized, in the daze of very bad insomnia last night, that I can't think of one area of my life that isn't stressing me out in some way. #
- 22:47 Just put up three new sets of photos, including our recent camping trip, (mostly of River) over at www.flickr.com/photos/heathershaw/ #
- 23:21 Just got itinerary change for my BH tix in Sept. Instead of getting in on Sun @10am, they rebooked me to come in @4pm. Unacceptable rubbish! #
We went to Butano State Park (near Pescadero, south of Half Moon Bay off Hwy 1) the last weekend in May with our friends Scott and Lynne and their 6-month-old son, Graham. It was a bit chilly, but the campsite was gorgeous under the redwoods. Tim and I got food poisoning on Friday before we went, so we came down Saturday morning and only stayed until Sunday, but we still had a good time. River LOVED it. He would run to the edge of someone's campsite, say hi, and if they said hi back would walk right in and socialize! Very cute!

- 13:43 Had to pull car over bc R couldn't breathe in carseat. Scary! @ Dr now. #
- 19:09 Cold complicated by his asthma, which is worse than we'd thought. Spent 4 hrs in tiny Dr. rm. Many treatments, xray, shot. Seems ok now. #
- 19:10 @erinkelley Thanks! Things are much better now! #
- 19:11 @paolobacigalupi Aw, I appreciate it! Things are mostly sorted, though there's still more medical stuff ahead of us to deal with. #
- 19:12 @nalohopkinson I know! I've never been so worried. #
- 12:14 I took a little Twittercation there. What'd I miss? My news: R has learned to hug/ emotionally manipulate us. SOOOoooo cute and effective! #
- 22:29 @secretseasons Oh, I have such thunderstorm envy! Definitely the 2nd-most thing I miss about the seasons in the midwest (1st = fall leaves). #
- 22:30 Tonight when we were putting him to bed, River hugged me, then stroked my hair gently. I almost cried from the sweetness. (We are DOOMED!) #
- 09:58 River is sick AGAIN, though not quite as bad as last week & Tylenol is kicking in. No gym for me :-( but I do get lots of baby snuggles :-)! #
- 14:30 This baby is just not napping. Not a good day for no baby downtime form his nap... I'm sort of emotionally on edge as it is. #
- 13:41 Long walk to breakfast, then farmer's market, then library & back has left me exhausted. Really should work on novel, but nap sounds so zzzz #
- 17:54 Forced out 1k words, then took 3 hour nap. Woke feeling ill. Ate a juicy pluot while standing over the sink. #whatididafterthefarmersmarket #
- 13:00 What pregnancy giveth the belly, abs lab taketh away... slowly. #
- 09:48 River is repeatedly stripping off his clothes, then complaining that he's too cold. Am idly wondering if duct tape will defeat him... #
- 12:01 In the middle of doing inventory, felt increasingly awful, & realized I'm coming down w/ what River has. Fuck. Hoping ibuprofen will kick in #
- 12:34 It's so sad to see this kid sprawled out, face-down, on the floor, clutching his bottle that he's too sick to drink. I wish I could DO more! #
- 14:31 @SPrineas Yay!!!! #
- 14:43 @stephburgis @erinkelley @jennreese @SPrineas @gregvaneekhout Thanks! I moved him to the crib, and he's snoozin' away. Poor li'l dude! #
- 14:45 I think I'll nap, too. I'm telling myself it's good protection against (the inevitable) getting what the baby's got. #
- 08:33 yeah, yeah, I'm awake. #
- 12:01 In the middle of doing inventory, felt increasingly awful, & realized I'm coming down w/ what River has. Fuck. Hoping ibuprofen will kick in #
- 13:18 @shunn Congrats! I know what you mean; my latest push is 10. Anyway, I find it encouraging/inspiring to read about you going to the gym, etc #
- 15:12 @shunn I hear you! I was @ 12 after 1hr 15min cardio class on Friday, but a lavish Sunday brunch party took care of THAT! #
- 20:19 @paolobacigalupi Naughty! #
- 07:49 Poor little River is sick, coughing and laying around (very unlike him). No gym for me; we're gonna stay home & not get other kids sick. #
- 08:12 @NathanFillion The legalized pot. #
- 10:42 God, my baby is going "Mama, Mama!" while I hold him, clearly feeling sick, and I have nothing to give him but baby tylenol and snuggles. #
- 13:03 @secretseasons I used to wonder that, too! I think it's to allow ladies 2 wear their long skirts while they rode about on their velocipedes. #
- 13:26 @susanmarie Jesus! That's insane! #
- 13:29 @timpratt Dithering? I haven't heard him say "dithering"! #
- 22:42 @secretseasons Hey, how did Graham like his first avocado? #
- 22:43 Gah, where'd I leave the book I was reading? #
- 11:10 That Star Trek porn? Clearly made w/love by a fanboy & good enough 2 carry @ work. Is retelling of "Space Seed" ep but w/sex. Spock v funny. #
- 11:13 @shunn I like the way you celebrate! Just curious, how much have you lost so far? #
