Jog up to retrieve lunch.

Not a good night. Bed at 9:30pm, up + snacks at 12am, 1:30am, 3 am, 4:30am, 5:30am. Rough. Not sure why yesterday and today were so different... wish something appeared to be causal.

Hah! Had a good night, only woke up once. Two bowls of cereal before bed at 9:30pm, woke up at 1:30pm for two more bowls of cereal and slept until 5:30am. So refreshing!

So snuck in a little morning run after Tom and S left for daycare drop-off.

I just want to feel better and I don't think there's anything I can do but wait. It's frustrating. Woke up 3 times last night, even though I ate right before going to bed. Maybe another week?

Did a CMTR challenge run! Looked for anything I could do that had a minimum of 30 min - Cheerleader Run it was!

Definitely was much more social than a typical run. Even had two 'chat's with dog walkers. But I was less social towards the end when I was going up hill in the sun... The air quality was super hazy. Came back and checked - PM2.5 is in the 'Moderate' instead of 'Good' range. Don't know why - just pollution? Don't know of any relevant forest fires at the moment...



Last nights wake-ups:
Bed at 8:30pm, up at 11pm, 12:30am, 4:30am, 5:45 am for good. Really hope to go from 3 times waking up per night to two...

C • Cheering wooo! 1

Ug. Forgot to take anti-nausea Unisom before bed and had a rough night. Missed two previous days of training just because I forgot my shoes at home... hopefully tomorrow nausea will be better, at least my running shoes are at work now!

Event: RESCHEDULED North American Orienteering Championship
 

Event: Rescheduled - BAOC: California Orienteering Festival
 

Ug. Another wake-up-three-times night. (Cereal-bagel-cereal.) A hypothesis: my metabolism is raised by the recent spate of actually getting to work out and is making me need to wake up more during the night. Going to see if taking a day off allows for some better sleep... At least I seem to tolerate eating a slightly wider variety of food during the day. Does help!

Not as great a night last night, woke up at 10pm, 12:30pm, 4am needing to quell nausea, bah.

Got out for a run in the morning though, feeling much better! Gotta start tackling the challenge runs again soon here. Goal is to do at least one over the weekend!

Goal was to run 3 mi today, did it! Also returned my physical library books while on the run - had them checked out when pandemic started, still not due until Aug. 11th, technically.

Another little to get lunch to-go run. This time grilled cheese from the bakery. Did a little tour of Reed's southern campus, which was nice. Easy to stay in shade and away from people!

Managed to sleep from 9:30pm until 3am without waking up nauseous last night! Longest interval of sleep in maybe 2 weeks? Exciting.

Last day of student researchers working with me today. The meet every morning at 9am on Zoom approach has worked well, as did having 2 of them working on a very similar project. We kept in touch during the days on Slack. It was an experiment this summer, we only did 5 weeks as I was nervous it wouldn't work well, but I'd say it worked better than I expected! (Unfortunately we have a negative result. To make it an *interesting* negative result, we need to do some theory work, but were hampered by a server being down from a simulation we wanted to use...) Ah well, tis research.

Haha! Got out running! I have been absolutely miserable recently because of morning sickness. It is hard to explain how awful it is. (And it's super different for different people.) For me, I'm nauseous almost all the time. The only thing that makes it feel better is eating something, but *all* food seems utterly gross and almost gag-inducing. So it's a battle. I'm taking the things recommended to try to help constant nausea, Unisom and vitamin B6 and they do take the edge off at least.

Yesterday and today things have started to seem *slightly* better, so I really, really hope I'm coming out of the worst of it. But I did still wake up 3 times last night needing to eat to quell the nausea - to bed at 8:30pm, up at 10:30pm (Cherrios), 2:30am (bagel and cream cheese), 5am (yogurt), woke up for good at 6:30am. Oh yeah, there's a lot of exhaustion too, so sleeping for 10h a night has to happen...

But yes, that means the good news is that there's a so-far* healthy 9wk pregnancy in my belly, causing all this trouble! Due date: Valentine's Day, 2021.

* - still have some nerves surrounding miscarriage, especially because I had a miscarriage immediately before this pregnancy. But if it's going to happen, it'll happen whether I log about this or not.
