Out of The PIT

So I got my first haircut at a soon a few weeks ago. It was nice to be able to lose all that extra pandemic hair. MJNL gave me a couple of haircuts before then but it was not the same and much more messy. We are at the zoo today. The zoo is not normally my cup of tea, but the places in would normally take EYS are closed so... At least it is nice to get out and about.

We sent EYS away for a few days so that MJNL and I could regain our sanity for a little while and try to catch up on cleaning up the house. EYS will be back later today and we are nowhere near clean but I guess it will have to do..

So I ended up staying up most of the night because MJNL had to rest. Unfortunately I didn't prepare and now I am quite exhausted. I got a couple hours of sleep here and there but this will catch up to me soon. I'm going to nap.

After the whirlwind events of the weekend, we've finally settled down to a semi-stable schedule here at the hospital. We will be here for at least another night if not two. This has put a crimp on our plans for receiving a shipment of a large piece of furniture today. The stipulation was that the movers would only leave the box on the threshold and we would need to move it in ourselves. Alas, we were all sequestered away and I told my dad to ask if they would move the box inside if we gave them a little bit of cash. Unfortunately the response was always no, and we were left with the conundrum of what to do. MJNL told me to contact AL and HKL to see if they could help. HKL was not working so it was easy for him to accept, and I posted on the family chat to see if anyone else would help but there were no quick takers. Well, it was quite serendipitous that I had just announced Serena's arrival over e-mail and got a response from GF that he was more than willing to help with any er...

They just went upstairs to the OR. I am not allowed to go into the OR so I am staying in the room. I wonder if this baby will be born today or tomorrow?

MJNL started feeling not so well today so we went to the hospital to check in. Now I'm stuck here until baby is born.

I got woken up by MJNL telling me that my phone had been ringing repeatedly all morning so I checked it out. Apparently it was from one of our clients who was having problems with an upgrade. He didn't know that we were off today otherwise he would not have attempted to install the update. I spent all morning working then most of the afternoon taking care of EYS. This included a call with Laz and MJH. It wasn't a very relaxing or productive day and I feel exhausted.
