Yesterday was mostly taken up by my family having the October babies birthday party at Nuevo Rancho Lake while I was on the pump. Pretty much everybody was here. The birthday kids were lillypond (a/k/a my sister), Dad and the_child. Also in attendance were me, Mother of the Child, the Niece, tillyjane a/k/a my Mom, my (step)Mom, my brother via Skype, mlerules, Lisa Costello and Ace Jordyn. Team E— also put in an appearance.

Today, I get off the needle.
