Run, Lucy, Run

If my heart gives out before the end of this post, please call for help

Oh, the running, she is so, so difficult.  I have discovered that when I’m really pushing (which doesn’t take much these days), my heart rate sometimes goes up to 200.  This seems wrong, very wrong.  I think I need to slow things down a bit.  Which translates to - I haven’t ran in 5 days and am currently seated on the couch eating two, count them, two! different flavors of ice cream.

My mom is in town this week which, although it can be stressful because we tend to irritate each other, has been a help since she luurrrrves Ashok and will hold him all day long if asked.  That means I get my hands back and get to practice, wash dishes, etc. etc.  It’s strange how all the tasks I tried to put off pre-baby now seem like some sort of luxury.  ooooh!  I get to sweep dog hair up off the floor!  Such fun!

It has been hot as Hades here lately.  I do love Southern California but when it is 90 degrees three days before Thanksgiving, something is just wrong.  This has been  weird even for here-I keep dressing the baby up in cute cuddly outifts only to take him outside and realize that he is going to bake unless I strip him down right away.  Poor child, running around L.A. in just a diaper.  How will he live that down?

Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving…..I for one am looking forward to my Chocolate Pecan Pie.  : )
