our contractor came over last night with an electrician to get started on the reno's. they spent about 6 hours putting in new pot lights, a new fan and a light above the vanity. the new fan was a problem which is why they stayed so long. during that time the contractor suddenly realised that he had been in our apartment before. it turns out that he did part of the $200k reno on the $1.2 million dollar apartment that the women who sold us our apartment moved into. it wasn't long before we started swapping stories about how "unique" the previous owner was. we only met her twice but we know that she stored groceries in the dishwasher, showered in the gym every morning rather than at home (one of our neighbours told us that) and offered alcohol to a young guy in the elevator in return for them doing chores for her (she did this the first time we were viewing the apartment and it was creepy), not to mention the fact that she was a total cow when we were trying to view the apartment (so much so that i refused to return if she was home...of course she promised to be out but there she was baking tray after tray of cookies while the inspector was trying to do his inspection!). our contractor told us that she propositioned one of his workers in front of them all, complained that she had to have sex in her car because they were working too late, and despite being from serious money (her father is a millionaire) she totally nickle and dimed the poor contractor guy, who is really a very fair guy. he said he would never work with her again. we agreed.

once you hit 35 you have a 1 in 400 chance of having a baby with down syndrome (compared to 1 in 1250 at 25, and 1 in 1000 at 30). i can't get this figure out of my head. what if my child is that 1 and it's my fault for waiting so long to have a baby. i'm taking pre-natal supplements every day and eating as many folic acid-rich foods as i can but the 1 in 400 stat is always with me.
