motherfucking leg cramps

They are hell. Somehow being pregnant makes them worse. I developed the ability about 10 years ago to just stretch the muscle out through the cramp even in my sleep. These ones are so intense that I can't do that. The muscle knots up so hard that stretching it out is impossible and I just have to lay there and groan until it's over (or roll around and repeat the word ouch and several expletives depending on how much it hurts). I don't know how to make them go away. Stretching doesn't help. I've tried drinking more water, increasing activity, decreasing activity, increasing my potassium intake... and nada. No relief.
Well, worse case scenario, it lasts for about 6 more weeks. Right?

I'm finishing up adding things to the baby registries.
Good LAWD infants require a lot of schtuff. O.O

Dear Requiem:
At 34 weeks (8 1/2 months) I am apparently still able to shave my legs *cough* amongotherthings. O.o
Though the backs of the knees are tricksy. I don't think I've cut myself that much since I was 13.
This could very well change soon. I just can't move around like I used to.

I guess I haven't written anything other than a few sentences in here lately. Life has thrown me a few curveballs, but we're surviving.
At work. I'm now back on graveyards. I was unwillingly railroaded into it. It's ok though. It opened my eyes to see just what kind of people my boss, and their boss really are. I don't have to like you to work with you, and I'm not the only one who can get shit on for not following the rules to a T as well. The joke is on them, I would likely have transferred back to graveyards after my leave anyway. It's more convenient for WC and I to work opposite schedules so we don't have to worry about daycare we can't afford.
I was really disappointed about the passing of my grandpa. I'd be lying if I said my immediate family's relationship with him is anything more than estranged. But I was hopeful that meeting his only living great grandbaby would make things different. Perhaps it was false hope. There's no guarantee that she wouldn't be shunned like the rest of us. It's a shame. My grandpa had a good amount of money, and there's no doubt in my mind that no one in my family will ever see a dime of it, his charming wife will see to that. Not that it matters. To help explain how lovely of a person my grandpa's wife is. In his obituary she listed her own children (grandpa's step children), and her grandson, then she listed my uncle and mother. There was no mention of my sister or I other than 'and family' regardless of the fact we're the only grandkids blood related to him. I hope my grandpa is at peace now, but I also hope karma finds it way to his widow. She deserves it.
WC and did much needed cleaning and rearranging to the livingroom this weekend. I overdid it a little, but everything is ok now. The crappy part is that I still have my bedroom and the baby's room to go through and clean out, and rearrange. As I was sitting in my bedroom looking at all of the stuff I need to go through. I realized that once upon a time I had actual friends, and hobbies. I used to like to go places, and do things. That has changed drastically since my relocation to the rockies. I'm sure part of it is how difficult things have been financially the last few years. Another part I think is my inability to get really close to anyone other than WC here. All of the people here I don't have a whole lot in common with. I'm not a pot smoker, or a drinker, or a avid sports fan. That rules me out for a lot of the social interaction around here. Of the few people I was able to really connect with at work two are in my mothers age category, and the other moved away. Wow, my brain wandered. Anyway, I was sitting in my bedroom trying to remember who I was and what I liked to do (as the remnants of that person is still in boxes all around my home), and deciding which of that person will be gotten rid of. I've already decided on a few aspects that I'll let go of. As far as the rest, we'll see what I have time (and space) for.

woohoo! I actually got 8 hours of solid sleep last night. We'll see if that changes this week because of work. It took the 4th day of a 4 day weekend to accomplish it.

My random craving today is for an egg salad sandwich. Funny thing is, I don't think I've ever made egg salad before. I'll have to call my mom for her recipe.
Every now and then the man says stuff that makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. I told him I've never had a guy buy me real nice jewelry before. He reminded me that I've also never had anyone else's baby before either. =)

This insomnia is pissing me off. I sleep for 3 hours then I'm WIDE awake. No matter how exhausted I feel prior to going to bed.
It's making me grouchy and slow.
I'm going to see if I can sneak another hour of sleep in before work so I don't feel completely worthless tonight.

Xmas came early for PD this year. I showed WC something that I wanted and he picked out something much nicer than what I was expecting. I have simple taste, so the small cheapy one I was looking at would have been fine with me. I have to admit though, it does feel good to have someone you love buy you something really nice.
It's white gold and the heart is all diamonds. I absolutely LOVE it.
Infatable. Love. Pig.

Those three words are reason enough to never invite WC into a white elephant.
O_o
I hope his boss ends up with it.

It's interesting how the small things in life (like eating, sleeping, or bending over) become uncomfortable when you're harboring a small person in your belly.

It doesn't help when people who are supposed to pick you up when you're down, just add to the misery instead.

nothing.
Apparently my desire for comfort ranks below even the trivial things in life.
At least it's good to know where I stand.
I have a feeling I'm going to experience rock bottom here soon

At this point, I'll admit that I now regret getting my thundercat neutered. He's my hypoallergenic pusspuss. =/
If I had known he would be the only cat in existence that I'm not allergic to, I would have bred him to see if I could make more like him. Most cats give me a rash, or instant welts. Not my thundercat. I can sleep with my face right on his body and be just fine. I think I was meant to find this one.
I had a dream last night that one of my kitties had three kittens, and thundercat was the daddy. No such luck. All of my fur demons are fixed. Sad day, but at least I did the responsible thing. There's already so many animals in the shelter that need love.

I get those.
Ever try massaging the area that hurts and what is above and below it?

Have you tried magnesium? Can also assist with insomnia.
