My dishwasher has been out of commission for weeks and I hate that handwashing dishes can't be done at the same time as other tasks like loading the dishwasher can

I actually opened the Scrivener doc for a novel draft I haven't touched since before Gavin was born. I even made changes!

The thing about naming your cats after scientists is you do end up uttering the words "Meitner wants a Nobel prize, not your toast"

Having a baby reminds you of things you'd forgotten. Like Cheerios being freaking delicious.

One thing to be said for the baby not being on anything even vaguely resembling a schedule yet: Don't have to worry about the time change screwing anything up!

My baby peed in his own ear, how's your evening going?

Inevitably when I brought up how small my baby was measuring on the ultrasound people would tell me stories of babies being born two pounds heavier than estimated. So I feel the need to note that he was born weighing EXACTLY what they'd predicted the day before.

The problem with working in process improvement is that when I call OTHER call centres my brain is still trying to improve their processes. I have some ideas for Service Canada...

I took Meitner to the vet on Monday (she's fine, it was largely for my own blood pressure) and five different strangers stopped to tell me how pretty she is. She knows she's gorgeous, but appreciates being told it.

Sometimes you take a cat you're 99% sure is fine to the vet for the sake of your OWN blood pressure. Fluids seem to have perked her up and she's eating normally again.

The great thing about the Ember age group is that sometimes one of them will comment on your earrings and you end up doing a little impromptu lesson on how DNA works. The nice thing is these are big enough that I could show them how the replication works!

The number of stories I tell about my school days that end in "That's... that's not very neurotypical sounding, is it?" is something I should probably look into...

New staff at my vet's office are never quite prepared for the answer to be "Meitner and Benkei" when they ask for my cats' names. I will get to tell a new person about how Lise Meitner should have won the Nobel Prize!

I really want to know why the thrift store puts the smallest baby clothes in the lowest bins. Very difficult to reach while pregnant.
