The Waiting…
Currently, the update is…there is no update. At the doctor’s office Friday, the doctor said it could be any time, but that time has yet to arrive. A mostly-relaxing weekend has passed, and nothing has changed; if nothing happens between now and 4 am Tuesday, we’ll be heading to the hospital in the wee-wee hours on Tuesday so induction (inducement? … the giving of the magic drugs) can occur.
In other notes, Ian and I planted tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, herbs, and flowers yesterday in our backyard planters and little garden area. I’m giving one more try at a garden in our backyard, and if the results are abysmal again this year, I’m calling it quits. (Note that I said nothing about the front yard – though odds are we’ll be looking at selling the place by gardening time next year.) I’ve moved the garden spot to yet a 3rd location, that gets … different sunlight. Our back yard has limited sun, and is partially overhung by a black walnut tree, neither of which is conducive to gardening. If I didn’t think it’d make the neighbors hate me, I’d just plant sweet corn in the front yard, which would be perfect for it. Ah, well.
