So, things have been moving along. The little man is beginning to raise his head a little more each time during "tummy time." He's still easy to please and only really gets cranky between 5pm and 8pm...not surprisingly, this is bed time for him.
So I got admitted to Missouri University of Science and Technology last week. This is my backup plan to med school, assuming I don't get an acceptance. The backup plan is to finish my Chemistry degree within a year and start looking for a related job during that last semester before graduation. There are still a lot of details to iron out, but the search for scholarships has already begun. Oy!
In other news, I now jog once a week. It's spaced that far apart because of how my schedule works out with the little guy. I'm in not as great a shape as I would prefer, but considering how little exercise I've gotten the past half year, I'm not complaining about my baseline. Once the babe gets a little older, I'll start jogging with him in the stroller. I have the option of doing this indoors already, but I'm a little timid about it.
With Christmas around the corner, I was able to finish J's present. It's a loom she saw on Pinterest. I was able to get half of the lumber for free. The other half with the hardware cost me just under $20. That also includes hardware for another project that got tabled for later. It's my first loom, but I was able to work on it during the little guy's naps. Honestly, it was nice to work on it consistently for several days, only an hour or so each day. I got to see it get slowly put together, and there's just something about seeing a physical project materialize from your own two hands. Next time, I'll take pictures and put together a little DIY instruction...should I have the time and the motivation. Boy, a drill press would have been nice for this, but I won't even think of getting one until I do another project like this.
This is likely my last post of the year. I hope all of you have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year!
