Today was a pretty good day. I walked Neil to daycare. It was cold. -2 degrees (Celsius!), but we bundled up and enjoyed our walk. Then I did a workout when I got home, went into town, did some shopping. It was nice. This afternoon D called and suggested we pick up Neil early and go for a drive. It turned out to be a gorgeous day (+14degrees), so we had a nice drive through the countryside. Then we helped D finish up work in the barn and went to pick up carrots for our friend Frank who hunts deer on our land. All in all it was a normal, good day.
Yesterday I was in town shopping and there was a woman with her newborn baby in front of me in line for the cash at sears. The cashier asked her how old her baby was and she answered "just 2 weeks", wish that sweet, loving smile all new mothers have. It was heartbreaking. I had to physically turn the other way and focus on not crying. I was really surprised. I didn't think seeing a newborn after 6 weeks would affect me like that. But obviously it did.
6 weeks today. Yup, still thinking in terms of weeks. That'll end soon, right??
