million dollar idea

how about this: a 24-hour bakery/cafe geared to preggos. lots of lemony stuff, ice cream, cake, pickles, and a few spicy dishes for the 41-weekers desperately trying the get labour started. in the right neighbourhood (forest hill? the beach?) it would be a licence to print money.

i came up with this idea last night at the 24-hour grocery, where we seem to be spending a lot of time lately. the shopping list: milk, cat food, bread, crackers, cheese, cheese, crackers, cereal, cake, ice cream, and five kinds of soup. so well-rounded!

in other news, we had dinner with friends last night (before our graocery run), and i, in my current unstoppable forgetfulness, left behind my umbrella and handbag. did not realise until we got to the grocery store. glad i was with my husband, who of course had keys and money! not smart. worse luck, i started feeling queasy (forgot my afternoon dose of diclectin), and then remembered that the diclectin was of course in my handbag, meaning that i was extra queasy this morning. i tried the other thing my midwife suggested - keep almonds by your bedside, and have a few before going to bed, and a few when you (inevitably) wake up in the night, to keep your blood sugar levels from dropping. i felt not bad in the morning, although i then foolishly lay in bed with the paper for an hour without eating, and started getting the queasies again. almonds to the rescue! just a couple and i started to feel a bit better.
