It’s chilly here
I love fall. I love fall weather and I love fall wardrobes. I also think it’s easier to cook in the fall because there’s still enough produce but it’s also cool enough to bake and do casseroles or heavy bean soups.
Last night I got such a wave of baby hunger that I thought that I might actually be able to force a baby to appear from somewhere. This was hot on the heels of another bout of ambivalence and wondering if another baby was a good idea seeing as how we’re so happy. The answer? Yes! It’s a marvelous idea! Because if we don’t do this, I’ll forever regret it.
Work is feeling more comfortable now that I’m in a routine and have a group of dependable, talented writers regularly turning stuff in. I have everything edited and arranged into folders for easy upload to the tech people when it comes time to do an update. I think about the early weeks when I was getting tons of submissions and not really knowing what was going on and am relieved to find that all that craziness has distilled into a manageable bunch of busywork. I also think the front page of the site looks really nice and am impressed with how hard the tech person works. No matter how petty a request, she’s always cheerful and willing to do what she can to get things in order.
All in all, I think that a baby will fit into our life without me having to lose my job or even take a leave. This has much to do with the quality of the people willing to write for us; I know that what they turn in is going to be good and won’t require major editing. Very nice.
I’m with you on all counts regarding fall.
I’m glad too that things are feeling so positive with work and the coming baby.
