The Sacrificial Lamb

If you call me around noon today you will hear me singing songs and praises of the "booby juice" to my two week old son. Why? Because he is impatient and will scream and cry as soon as he feels a bit of hunger. The dancing around his nursery and singing, "Booby juice party" seems to stop him from crying and wonder, "What is wrong with this person?"
   So, here I am apart from the social world catering to my boy. I am so tired in the evening. The baby seems to want to constantly cry. He has the perfect latch then pulls away causing my poor nipples a bit of pain. My husband next to me sleeps while I have to get up to breastfeed because I don't want the nipple confusion. This is all part of the sacrifice.
 The Sacrificial Lamb-Josefa de Ayala (1670-1684)
While in the hospital, my son's doctor said it- "Yup, you ready to be the sacrificial lamb?" I understood what he meant but I didn't want to. But yes that picture without the halo says it all. I am a cow to my son and I don't get to leave the house or get away from him for too long without him crying. So, my fate is inside my apartment sleeping when he sleeps with a few hours where he is sleep and I am awake (see, I am blogging and eating breakfast.) breastfeeding and changing his diaper. I have been pee'd on about three times as Vince has been pee'd on about seven times. Jonathan has peed on himself about three times and he does not get happy about that either.



UH oh! Gotta go. The beautiful baby boy calls out. (plus, I don't want my milk to get on my clothes- that happens a lot too.)

The Great Conjunction- Function: What does it all mean?

Image
 If you are living under a rock or not into Google, you most likely did not see this picture:  So, if you did see this and think: how cute! Let me click on this. You already know. So, today is December 21st which is the winter solstice. If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, it marks the astrological first day of winter is the longest night of the year. What you may not know is that two planets are aligned so it appears as if they are giving each other a "high-five". They call this a conjunction when planets are aligned. How cute, right? They have not been this close since 1663, so this is an epic event. So, you will be seeing something that Galileo saw when he devised telescopes. This event happens every 20 years but every 321 years or so where you can see it in great detail. Both of these planets are beautiful, not like Earth but beautiful. Now, if you are like me and live in an area of light pollution, most likely you will see a star and a planet. Here, in Chicago proper, ...

Where does the Time go?

Image
 I know where my time goes- into treating patients. I am loving this life of treating numerous and multiple patients. Maybe from the suppression of seeing accident and worker's comp patients.  That is really me treating- no Photostock/AI pictures! Side Note: This was created in February 2025. It was stopped and completed in April 2025.  With changes in the schedule, it has been difficult to maintain this blog. I am keeping current and will begin to have a schedule where I post once a month. Wish me luck!

Food, Air and Water Show and NAILS

Image
Today has looks very similar to yesterday- work out, eat when you can, read, clean, computer searches for jobs along with ideas and concepts. This morning I went for a run and it looked like rain so I shortened the run and went a little faster just because I did not want to be like the old guy in the tale "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and get struck by lightning. Hubby somewhat shocked me today because he asked about the Air and Water Show. I asked why and he thought it would be good for both of us to go either this year or next year. I have always hated the Air and Water Show because when I lived two blocks from the lakefront I could never nap or focus because of the noise of the planes. One thing about living in the city I do not like and that is all the noise pollution. I have pretty sensitive hearing so at times my hearing goes out for a day once it went out for three days and when I say goes out I mean it feels and sounds like someone put cotton in both my ears...
