i really truly do have work to do, too. i have to read a lot of cases and law review articles about abortion clinics and the buffer zones that some states have put around them, to try and get an understanding of the benefits and drawbacks of using an injunction rather than a generally-applicable statute.

but in the meantime .... i just went running, and i feel really good, like in my muscles and stuff. it was 23 degrees outside, so i wore lots of layers, and wanted to take some off along the way. i would like to do this on a daily basis. today was easy, with the whole "working at home" thing - it didn't require me getting up at 5 a.m. I dropped Thing Two off at school at 8, and ran off. Tomorrow, if I repeat this activity, I will be up at 5 a.m.

Not only b/c it will get in the way of my new exercise routine - but i am 1/2 wishing we were NOT going to California. I am going to have approximately 3 weeks off before school starts back up, and I am slightly yearning to spend them at home. Some time to myself, some time to get the house in order, some time to just chill. I will get that when we get home, for about a week, so that's good. but this co-op was pretty draining, and i wouldn't mind a chance to truly rest before hopping on an airplane.

I guess deep down inside, I am a home-body. Either that, or I'm craving some alone time, and I'm most definitely not going to get that in California. I guess the best thing I can do for myself is bring my sneakers. Just inform my friend and my sister that I would like to go for a run every day. Then I feel like I'm dumping my kids on them, though. Although usually, the kids take care of each other - especially when they haven't seen each other in a long time. And I think that my sister and my friend will understand. If my friend is not healed (b/c she is not resting), then I will most certainly NOT leave her alone with any kids, I will instead carry her baby and any other items which need to be carried, around the house while she RESTS!!
