Night 2

Of my new plan to never require sleep again. Just think of all the things I'll be able to get done if I stop sleeping. Katie is very thoughtfully assisting me in accomplishing this goal.

Or, she's teething. Whatever.

You can see the giant bump where her teeth should be poking through when she smiles, but the teeth aren't poking through. Hence the not sleeping. And since not much disturbs her sleep (except a grumbly belly, of course), especially when she's had some teething tablets, I imagine she's in a fair bit of pain. But I'm not into overmedicating, and she's in a surprisingly good mood, all things considered. She's currently chatting with Andrew's picture in the little album she was given for Christmas. Very sweet.

Here is Katie with Zed the Zebra. I got Zed the last time I went to the zoo in Portland, and he's been sitting in my car all this time. I finally got him down for Katie a couple of weeks ago and it was love at first sight. She's infatuated. For those of you who don't know, zed is the Canadian word for Z. :)


On the seeding front, I didn't do anything today except put the tray in the front window. I think they're still alive, I guess we'll find out soon.

My avocado tree is still going strong. Last month marks 2 years past the day it started to grow again after I accidentally froze it to death. It now stands 28" above the soil, and already has some new growth. Living indoors will do that, I suppose. I gather that I'm supposed to pinch that new growth so that it will learn to grow in more directions than up, but I'm having a hard time with that, considering I already stunted it once. We shall see. So far, this is the only indoor plant that I haven't managed to kill.

I think we'll try bed again. At least we can have a good snuggle.
