Over Labor Day Weekend, Kevin traveled to New Orleans for the Bachelor Party of our future brother-in-law. So I got the house all to myself for three days. It was nice to have a chance to relax with no demands before the baby came. Especially since it's the last time I'll get a whole weekend to myself like that for years probably.
I stopped by the mall on my way home on Friday to pick up some bubble bath and lounge pants. I also got a couple of new books and went to an Indian restaurant for dinner, as I always try to do when Kevin isn't around. I was expecting Hurricane Hermine to hit, and I was ready for a cozy, rainy weekend.
Of course, Hermine ended up skipping past DC, leaving us with muggy weather and no rain. But I suppose I shouldn't really complain. Even though it never ended up cooling off enough for me to really enjoy a bath.
The lack of rain did mean that I was able to drive out to the used bookstore and get a stack of new-to-me books. I've found that used bookstores can be really hit or miss. The last two times I went out, I was only able to find one book I wanted to buy. But this time I found a whole bunch. So I now have enough books to get me through the rest of my pregnancy, and probably the rest of the year.
I also had grand plans to clean the house over the weekend. I ended up cleaning two toilets and the shower. But at least I did that much, along with a whole bunch of laundry. I just get tired and achy too easily to really stay on top of the housework lately. We should probably hire someone to come in before the baby comes. And maybe once after the baby comes while I'm still healing.
Other than that, I mostly spent the weekend reading and watching TV. I managed to get all of Kina's walks in. But I was definitely at the limit of being able to take care of myself and two animals. If Kevin needs to leave again before the baby comes, I'll have to get someone to come stay with me. Still, it was nice to have a few days on my own as a sort of last hurrah before life gets really crazy and demanding.
