What is your most favorite recipe for something savory?
Something I make an awful lot is just a quesadilla made with cheese, thinly sliced onion, sliced kalamata olives, and corn tortillas. I use my cast iron griddle pan. It's simple, but makes me happy.

I'll have to think about this some more, though, because most of my favorite recipes use carrots and tomatoes, which are now off limits.

Compared to this time last year, how happy are you?
I'm pretty even keeled. I'm quite happy most of the time, content the rest. So long as I don't think about politics, I'm generally smiling.

Any plans on going back to being a vegetarian or have you accepted meat into your life?
I've accepted it, but am still kinda grossed out by it. I often feel like I've still lost my identity. I may return to vegetarianism someday, but not right now.

How are you doing coming up to Ronans' first birthday?
Great! I wish my house was picked up. I wish it was neat. I wish it had three more rooms and an attic/basement. Otherwise, great! (I'm not too weepy about Ronan getting older. I haven't succumbed to the WANT MORE BABIES urge.)

What is your most favorite recipe for something sweet?
Probably tapioca pudding. I don't make a lot of sweets. My most common sweet snack is just a smoothie (yogurt, protein powder, frozen mangos or blueberries).

Compared to this time last year, how tired are you?
Oh, much more tired. I slept great during pregnancy--I did, after all, sleep through a tree falling on our house a few days before Ronan was born. In fact, sleeping well was my first pregnancy symptom. After a decade of fibro-related insomnia, I suddenly started sleeping!

I sleep decently now, but Ronan gets up before I'm ready. And he does nurse off and on through the night--I sometimes sleep through that, sometimes not. And he insists on daily walks, whether I'm awake or not. So I slog through the streets most days, wearing him or pushing the stroller (harder, because I toss extra things into it).

Will you write my research paper for me, it's due tomorrow?
You know, mommy brain isn't some misogynistic joke. It's real.

The mommy-brain has been a really hard one for me to adjust to. My memory used to be excellent. Now, it is like a sieve. I am sure sleep-dep has a lot to do with it too.

I'll be happy to come in and help with the house. We will be there a few days before the big event and would love to help. Or I can help with grandson-extraordinaire while you fuss with the house. Either one! I've been there. :-)

Love, Mom

Oh, the house is hopeless.

I'm just endlessly sorting and getting rid of stuff, packing other things away in ways that I can still access/use them.

Loveyou!
