Postpartum???

So, I've been feeling a little blue the past week. Perhaps a touch post-partum. Eric will be 8 weeks old on Saturday, and I feel like my hormones have tanked. Darrel and I were talking last night though and I think that there's other factors at play. Mostly I think that we're in this apartment, and it doesn't have a lot of light. The windows go down quite low to the ground, so I don't like leaving the blinds open because I feel exposed to the world, hence it's quite dark. I leave the living room ones open but there's a large overhang in the front and it's on the east side so in the afternoon there's just not that much sun. Plus, I feel like life is on hold. We are waiting to move into the house, and waiting to paint and figure out what has to be done. I don't feel like putting in the effort to get to know people here when I'm moving in a month...and I'll be an hour away. So I'm feeling a little isolated, and light deprived, compounded with the hormone dive I'd say it's explainable. But today was better, hooray. I am starting to learn the trick of how to get Jack to nap during the day. He's been napping a good 1.5 hours every afternoon this week, without me driving him around, so yay for me! And while getting things crossed off my chore list does make me feel good I'm not beating myself up over what doesn't get done. So hopefully we can all stay positive here. As a treat for myself I ordered the West Wing Season 5 DVDs, I'm quite excited!! Man I love that show. It really is ER for political junkies. Even after season 4 when the got different writers and it wasn't as snappy, I still love it. Sigh, and it's over. Oh well, all good tv series must come to an end right? We have decided not to get cable when we move. Having it these past three months has made us realize how little we need it. We hadn't had it since we bought the house in Winnipeg and we both prefer not having it. Don't get me wrong, I quite enjoy TLC and HGTV, but life won't end without them, I'll probably not waste so much time, and do more reading. However, we will be getting high speed internet. I honestly don't know how people live without the internet! I use it ALL THE TIME. So there you go, some people probably think that's crazy, calling internet a necessity, so to each their own.

My other focus lately has been on food storage. I've been trying to buy extra every time I grocery shop and figure out what we need for emergency supplies (medecine, bandages, water etc.) Our prophet has counseled us that we should have two years of food supply, and hopefully we will never need it, but if that day comes I will feel stupid if I don't have anything as we've been warned repeatedly. I haven't wanted to amass large amounts until after we move, why move it twice, but I've been price comparing and figuring out what we need. If any of you are interested you can find guidelines on amounts and how to store food at this website, Provident Living.
