Went to the doc and I am officially dizzy. Medically dizzy. Not crazy. I repeat. Not crazy.
Elijah got his first cold. Then Marty and I got Elijah's first cold. We are collectively pathetic at the moment.
Elijah stopped being a good sleeper about two weeks ago. Wakes constantly during the night. Suckles/eats every hour or two. Every. Hour. Or. Two. Seriously. Seriously! About every other night he'll wake at 1 or 3 or so and think it is morning and cry and want to play. It is cute but also not very cute. I think I've slept about 4 or so hours a night (never more than an hour at once) every night for the past two weeks. Still, I am medically dizzy. Not crazy!
There are butterflies all over town. Big monarchy ones. Little pale lavender ones. White ones. Big black and blue ones. Even on Elijah's little swing.
I am still knitting a scarf for Marty (which he was supposed to have last winter), but I have my eye on two new projects.
A tree fell in our backyard two weeks ago. It is still there. Birds are building nests.

I'm getting close to finishing my third book. I think. Parts one and three seem good. Part two still wonky.
I started a press, with help from M. It is called Dorothy. I already got back contracts from my first writer, whose book will come out in Fall 2010. More on this to come . . .
Naropa starts next week. Holy shit! That means: Elijah, Dalkey, Dorothy, Naropa class, third book, knitting, dizzy, etc.
Elijah went swimming for the first time, with his pal Anton.

We were going to start Elijah on solid foods this past weekend, but with the cold we decided to wait. Maybe next weekend. In the meantime, he's been drinking water from his sippy cup. He LOVES it. He actually sort of freaks out when he sees the cup and he holds it with both hands super tight and does pretty well getting the water out. His eyes get all big. He is amazed by it.
Also, Elijah had his first real babysitter. Well, his first babysitter that wasn't a grandma maternal or paternal. This babysitter was my friend Sarah.
And whilst Elijah was in Sarah's capable hands, Marty and Danielle went to the cute, eclectic, slightly weird wedding of Cristy and William.

OOhhh! I love this post--so newsy and with pictures! But, now, what is this about "medically dizzy"--hmmm?!
doc says it is BPPV. i think that's right. benign positional phsnakljkljsma verlkalks. (I uh can't remember the last two words there.) nothing too fancy. basically there are little crystals in my inner ear that float around and when i turn my head too fast (i.e., when i turn my head) they fly around and bounce where they shouldn't bounce and my brain reads that as dizziness. my eyes jump around in their sockets. or so says the doc. i think i've had this for years but it has gotten a lot worse.
benign paroxysmal positional vertigo - officially listed as a rare disease by the nih. we are a rate tribe. wouldn't have it any other way.
you are really busy but it all sounds like things you love so its good. will see you soon to help out. can't wait.
Eeek! Is there any kind of treatment? Do you remove the crystals? But how? (I once had severe vertigo for about a week and I couldn't even get out of bed. I can't imagine having that happen all the time!)
Yes! In fact. The doc wants me to come in and he will flip me upside down on some rotating table and make me look at things to my left and hopefully make the crystals shuffle somewhere even more benign. Or something like that. And then I have to wear a neck brace for two days so I don't dislodge them. Sexy, eh?
CRAZY!! It seems so...medieval or something.
Elijah is looking great. I am inspired to try a sippy cup.
