I heard the computer turn on (it turns on automatically at 7 AM) and then the alarm went off. Eriko had decided to grab an extra 15 minutes of sleep. So she had to hustle to get breakfast ready. She wasn’t feeling well (her stomach was bothering her) so she decided not to walk to work with me. I finished up the dishes and left about 5 minutes later than usual (7:40) since I move faster when I walk alone.

I didn’t sleep so well last night. To be more accurate, I slept solidly until early morning and then tossed and turned for a few hours. Eriko and I were both a little slow out of bed but as usual, she was quicker than I and had breakfast cooking before my feet hit the floor. She didn’t sleep so well either and her stomach has been bothering her. After breakfast, we discussed the possibility that she might be pregnant.

The alarm went off at 6:45 and I wasn’t too happy about that. I had slept pretty well, actually, except for some strange dreams. There were several of them, but the only one I could remember was that I had dreamed that Eriko was pregnant and the countdown was on (until even less free time than I have now). Eriko jumped right out of bed, but I laid around for another 10 minutes or so before I went through my usual bathroom, weight, changing ritual.

Eriko and I slept in. I had a great plan of chores lined up. I began working on the Adjustment of Status (AOS) paperwork with the intention of visiting work and making copies. Then I received a surprise phone call from Alex. “Did I want to work on the Linux PVR (personal video recorder)?” Sure. About an hour later, he showed up with a basket of computer parts and the project began.

I actually slept pretty good. I was hot at first because I hadn’t showered (too tired) but once I fell asleep it was pretty steady. Eriko got up and made breakfast, which was delicious. After an hour and a half of resting, she decided to work out in the exercise room and I followed. I started out on the bike machine, with my iPod and book. I was only able to read for a little while before I turned up the juice and the vibration (and effort) was too much too focus.
