Sausage Feet

Last night ended my five day residency for my second semester of my Writing Popular Fiction Master's. It was amazing and informative and fun... and every night I came home with swollen sausage feet. By the last day I had sausage fingers too and I've been so sore that it's not that fun to try to get around today. I've been doing everything right though! I cut down my salt and sodium intake, I put my feet up at night and try to stay off of them. STILL I have sausage fingers and feet!

Dutch was the big celebrity of the residency. Everyone asked me when I was due and what his name was and no one touched my tummy without asking permission first! I thought that was very thoughtful of them. Also, all of my fellow writers LOVED his name! I guess it speaks to us trying to find unique character names.

The down side to this whole thing was that I spent most of my time with a really sore back and was way more irritable because of that. Luckily I didn't make anyone cry, so that was good!

Now that the residency is over this baby can come anytime - the sooner the better as far as I'm concerned!
