Real Quick *(q)

I’m still in shock over receiving a letter from my dad. He is one of the worst correspondents that I have ever met. And I’m not sure I spelled that right, but I’m not overly concerned with it right now, y’all know what I mean.

 

Jake starts the Academy tomorrow. We’ll find out more about the insurance stuff hopefully, though I already know for a fact that nothing in the policy will take effect until the end of February, so I won’t get to see a doctor until then, not even to have them confirm that I really am pregnant. You would think that four positive pregnancy tests and all of these symptoms would convince me, but I’m paranoid, and I’ll write more about that later tonight or tomorrow.

And right now, the Panthers can kiss my ass. They are playing horribly. But congrats to all you Steelers fans.

 

Gotta go. Dinner’s ready (I was letting it cool off a bit), so I’m gonna go stuff my face.

 

Oh, and ignore the ticker. I’m supposed to be exactly 6 weeks today.

Not in the mood to really write any more tonight, but I wanted to steal this survey thing from Cass before I forgot….
