We made it safely through the storm.
My computer retired. I am using my sister's crappy computer that she never uses. It's making me want to flush my head down the toilet. To use the only browser that works, one must reinstall it every time they want to use it. I hate outdated PCs owned by people who don't know what they're doing and don't care.

Sorry about my unexplained absences. It's hard to get used to the new proboards.
My husband and I will be gone for the weekend. We're going to be a campsite refuge for wilderness adventuring racers.

Oh, goodness, that weekend trip was incredibly, incredibly boring. It was early AM (long before the sun) to late PM (long after the sun) sitting in the same spot, mostly watching our fire and talking about how bored we were. My husband fell asleep in a camping chair a lot. I couldn't sleep because someone had to watch the fire. The racers came to us several hours apart from each other, usually. We were in the location furthest out, the one most people dropped out of the race before getting to. We were a manned checkpoint, not the finish line. The start and finish were at the same place. This race was a matter of getting to checkpoints by canoeing, mountain biking, and running, in whatever order people wanted to do it.
One of the most boring times of my recent history, for sure, although the scenery was very lovely. It would have been enjoyable had it not been so long and so cold.
@ Bab:
My pregnancy is going well. I am 17 weeks and 4 days with no serious problems. I look like my belly got fat, not like I'm pregnant, and I get backaches for it, but those things are normal enough.
@ Belchic:
I had someone fix this computer up. It had hidden viruses on it. It actually works fine now, although it still doesn't Skype, but it handles all the other messengers.

Ooh, A canoe race is this? I mean, Camping can be fun, could have had a barbecue or something, but I guess camping games could have helped matters too. ^^;
Maybe if the weather was better, you'd have liked it more too, right?
Nearly 18 Weeks, eh? Near the Half way point for the pregnancy, are we? =3

It was like a triathlon through mountains, with canoeing in place of swimming.
I would have definitely preferred volunteering in better weather. For our work, my husband and I received large discounts off the entry fee for the next race. We'd give the discounts to other people, but we can't because our names and volunteer information are on said discounts. I don't think either of us will ever be in shape for this type of race. Maybe in our younger years, had we practiced.
I'm 18 weeks and 1 day now. Yep, around the halfway point. I'm always early, so it's likely I'm about at the halfway point.

Aaaaand now, in the 19th week, I'm in a whole lot of pain and it's just unbearable. I think something tore in my back. I spent all of today crying in pain and unable to get out of bed, which is awful because the only way for this to heal is through exercise and I'm so clumsy because I'm tall and thin and pregnant and old and off-balance so I fall all the time -- which is also why it feels like my back is torn -- and I feel like I'm dyyyyyyiiiiing.

No, thank goodness. That happened last time and I don't want to be put on bedrest with so many things going on in my life.
YESTERDAY WAS THE WORST THING.
I slipped out of consciousness and dissociated and had seizures and panic attacks and breakdowns in front of a lot of people, I don't even know how many people saw me, and it was awful. The whole day was "How did I get here?", "Where am I?", "When did I say THAT?", "Why are they here?", "What is going on?", "I'M FREEZING!", "I FEEL DISGUSTING!", "Please stop looking at me like that, I know I'm crazy, I'm in too much pain to tell you I know", "Oh, it's all over, it's all over, they're going to put me away because I can't stop", "I'm never getting invited to anything again, am I?", "Whose clothes am I wearing???", and mostly unconscious and semi conscious pain.
Terrible. Terrible, terrible, terrible. And I know I heard my niece sing a song called Seizure Time, what a sweetheart. I hope someone caught her.
My only consolation is I can still feel Lilith Grace, the baby, moving as much as earlier; I hope and pray the stress didn't give her stress, but I know she had to have sensed my stress to some extent. She moves a lot, like me before I was born. My mother dreamed she gave birth to a child with multiple live limbs. My mother couldn't stand it. I love it. It's assuring to know my daughter is okay.

I haven't been working since I had a heart attack in Summer 2011. Crazy thing is, I'm supposed to start a new job on the Monday after next, and I'm in no condition to do so, at this rate. Unfortunately, my country does not have paid maternity leaves.
Yes, my immediate family is very loving and supportive.
