I dried laundry outdoors today for the first time this year. I love that smell.

Small things.

I'm jealous, it freaking snowed here today.


On the bright side, I get to see all the "global warming, huh" posts.

Well I'm jealous that it snowed. Last 2 nights were so nice though! 44F is blissful as I sit out burning my stumps looking at Jupiter, Saturn and Mars without taking a bath in mosquito repellent.

It's 38C down here and I am melting!

It's more a making me laugh than happy.... some background first!

I work in an office full of middle-aged women. Pretty much their entire conversational repertoire is Slimming World. That's it.

Work friend and I joked once that Slimming World must be The Borg, and everyone is assimilated and RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.

Nearly fell over laughing this morning because I came down to my door to find a Slimming World leaflet having been pushed through it.

THE BORG HAVE FOUND ME!

And now there is nothing for it except to consult that age old wisdom..... What would Captain Picard do?

My local Slimming World rep puts a flyer through my door every year on 1st January. I hate her. They really are The Borg, they got my neighbours!

We've passed the miscarriage danger zone so I can now say:

My wife is pregnant with our second child. And it's a boy!

[Slow Ben]

Awesome news! Congrats Mr. and Mrs. QT!

Gratz to you and your growing family, QT!

[QuickTidal]

Thanks all! Super exciting for us. Due October.

A little sad too as we are both the youngest siblings of our respective families and this is our last kid, so both families will have no further grandkids after this.

There's always a chance for that "whoops".

Not when things get "fixed" after the birth so there is no future oops.

This is from my area of the world (though not my neighborhood, obv.) and it's delightful:

Off to Japan tomorrow!

First real vacation in probably six years! Nothing but long weekends since the PhD began over 5 years ago! First overseas vacation in 10 years!

It will be glorious!!!

Someone has been telling a lot of bad jokes.

Congrats QT, your wife is a hero and a lunatic in my eyes.

Thanks!

I told her I would be happy with one if she wanted to stop there. She wanted another, and I'm fine with that too.

In fact, she wanted three, but I convinced her long ago to give up that dream as it's simply too expensive...and when there is three they outnumber you!
