I’m sitting with my feet up and being served a Play-Doh meal.

How do I deal with stress? I submit this blog post as my answer.

by Leslie

it’s hard to feel tense
around a napping kitty
(unless you hate cats)

most human beings
require medication
to be so mellow

And then Picasso was like, “Oh, are you photographing me? Allow me to pose.”

“Here’s my best side. Oh, the tail. Are you getting the tail? Like, the whole tail? I cleaned it for about fifteen minutes before I fell asleep.”

And then Holy Guacamole! was like, “Um, don’t forget about me over here! Hey! Hey look!”

“Cute Show starting in 3…2…1…”

“BAM!”

Holy Guacamole says, "You know you wanna pet this."

“Okay, you realize now is when you’re supposed to pet me.”

And I did.

I’m just over here NOT Googling SEVERE POLYHYDRAMNIOS 35 cm

by Leslie

someone should create
a web filter to protect
us worried Googlers

Dave had temporarily disabled the internet and confiscated my phone. But then he had to go to work for the entire weekend.

Hmmm…maybe if I get even more specific in my wording, Google will reveal the truth! *typing 28 WEEKS PREGNANT SEVERE POLYHYDRAMNIOS 35 cm* (Just kidding.)(No I’m not.)

My appointment with the high risk obstetrician (who is from Akron Children’s Hospital) was moved up, again, which is probably more about scheduling than about me, but the anxiety center in my brain is running around in circles and shouting, “DANGER! DANGER! DANGER! They’re seeing you sooner because the situation is SERIOUS! PANIC! PANIC!!!”

There’s been no word on my glucose test. The doctor had said I’d hear from her by the end of the day yesterday if the news was bad, which I think I was just assuming I’d get because, hello, that’s an answer to the problem! And now that it’s looking like I’m in the clear, gestational diabetes isn’t looking so bad compared to the other stuff I Googled.

Anyway. Let’s talk about something else.

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve Googled? Do you search odd word combinations in hopes of getting exactly what you’re looking for? If someone were to create a web filter just for you, what kind of stuff would it need to protect you from?
