How do you do this?

....waiting! My only clutch of the season is on day 21. How do you wait for them to hatch. I've been good and haven't checked on them in 3 days due to starting a new job, but its killing me to wait for them to hatch. Any ideas on how to pass the time?

I go to work.... A lot! I finally had to remove the blue plastic cover and use press and seal on the top. I could not stand not being able to see them. Now I check once or twice per day, and it satisfies my cravings to see something happening. I am on day 47, and the eggs are starting to shrivel.. Getting closer, we are. Now I get to worry about the last one that is not acting like the others. I guess I will just have to learn to deal with the wait, and hope the other catches up.. I really hate to have to cut, but if the others are ready, that one should be too..

Yea, I've been working a lot lately. One of the eggs is slowly "deflating" and is covered in mold. I can't seem to get it all off and when I candle it, it is dark but I can still see a few veins. I think its going south for good though. That leaves 3 good eggs. Those are doing great! I've seen movement and everything.
