The post in which Nance babbles

Here I am, 9:46 am, in my Jammies. I decided to work from home today because we should have a glass shower door installed. Note the should. The woman from the shower door place is supposed to call me back. The factory took almost 1 month to build a door that should have taken 1 week. Sigh.
Once the shower door is installed, I need to caulk around the wood baseboards and we are DONE in that bathroom minus the venting fan. Only took 21 months…. Sheesh.

Last night, we were watching a baseball game and Dr. Jay commented on the drug scandal in baseball. "I finally understand Jason Giambi’s intestinal issue" He believes it was steroid withdrawal. It makes sense given the pain that Dr. Jay is in and how Giambi’s pain was described. It was also reported that Giambi had a pituitary tumor. Steroids affect a feedback system that involves the pituitary. It is called the "something that I can’t remember" axis. I call it the "axis of evil". It is amazing to watch these players detox from steroids. What idiot would go on these things voluntarily?? Really? These things suck.

At 2:30am, I was awoken to the sounds of Luna climbing out of bed. Dr. Jay had gotten her at 1:30, so I offered to help her. She proceeded to throw a full blown tantrum because I wasn’t Daddy. I hate the tantrum phase. It lasted 15 minutes. I sat in the comfy chair, doing some calming yoga breathing while she lost it. Finally, she let me pick her up. She was asleep in 5 minutes, but I held her for 5 more just to snuggle. There have been some posts on sleep lately. I am working on it. Dr. Jay told me about an article on how Ferber is harmful to kids and how it should make me feel better that I can’t do the cry it out. I told him that I respect those who choose it. I just can’t do it. I guess I am odd that way. I don’t mind if you do things in raising your kid (except spanking and humiliation, I will speak against those), but I generally don’t push my POV.

Overheard in the spacehouse, "Luna, No more broccoli until you eat some pasta"
The things we say!

Time to shower and get myself going. I have two car dealerships to visit today and some coding to get done plus some testing. Oh, and I want to clean Soleil’s room. Ha!
