And a slacker, but there's a very good reason.

I'm growing another person.

Which means, for me, long days of laying in bed writhing in nausea waiting while the world continues to progress and age and actually accomplish things. I'm not necessarily complaining because women have it so much worse than I do, and some women aren't ever blessed with pregnancy.

It's just hard.

It's hard being away from my mom. Like - I know I can live without her close by now, but why would I ever want to, are my sentiments.

I'm finally coming out of my fox hole, though, and last week I even cleaned my bathrooms for the first time in two months. Things are on the up and up.

What follows is a whole host of random home and hearth pictures (I don't even know what hearth REALLY means, you know?) I downloaded from my camera a few days ago.
