Shadow Pictures

I am now 3 days past my due date. And my doctor is out of town. I had an appointment today and met with the nurse practitioner and the doctor on call. They were both very nice. But with this baby making no moves to leave and my doctor in Peru I came home feeling overwhelmed and out of sorts. I went in to work after the appointment where I was greeted by bad news about pretty much every patient I am following right now. I am trying to do my job but my mind is elsewhere and I felt a compound of overwhelmedness by my personal life and my work life. I sat in the car for a few minutes when I got home trying to decompress so I could have a good evening and not be so weighed down by everything. And then, on my way in the building I ran into my across the hall neighbor and learned that her husband was killed in a boating accident a couple of weeks ago. Jarek was on the phone when I came home and so I went straight to my bed and laid down in a further attempt to decompress. Then, when his call was over I suggested we go out into the beautiful day and take shadow pictures. I went out a few days ago by myself to take shadow pictures of my pregnant sillouette but it was more fun to have Jarek with me.
