oh. that's why I'm tired.

1. Of course, sleeplessness. Not horrible, but persistent.
2. Breastfeeding burns like 500 calories a day. Just looked it up: that's like being in a spinning class for forty minutes, or running an hour on a treadmill.
3. Then I looked at my phone, which has been in my pocket the whole day. It has a little step counter. How many steps have I taken today? 8659. That's four miles. I have no idea how I walked 4 miles, on top of the spinning class I just took, but apparently driving to the grocery store, walking to the park on the next block, and rocking the baby to sleep=4 miles.

The idea of intentionally exercising right now is laughable, but I guess I don't have to be intentional. I just have to have two children.

I think it's time for a hot bath.
