h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well it's been a fair amount of time since I last wrote anything in my journal space. I've often wondered exactly what to put down...how serious or trivial to make it...but I think I'm going for something which will veer between the extremes. As I don't write very often I end up with very long entries, but there you go.

My main piece of news is the fact that, all going well, I'm going to become a dad at the end of February. I say all going well, as once the initial elation dies down you get given all kinds of information, some of which covers those things that can go wrong. They have to give you that sort of stuff, but it can get the mind racing ahead a bit. So, at the moment I'm alternating between incredibly happy and expectant, to worried about health and responisibilities....help - it's a bit of a rollercoaster!

I'm made slightly more nervous by the helpful fact my current job contract runs out in April and there is no certainty I'll have a job to go to after that, so I've got to work hard to make sure there's an income - I really can't afford to be unemployed...
