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

I know I've been lurking a bit lately, even though it appears I haven't gotten much accomplished. The fact is I haven't got quite as much free time as I've had in the past, and I'm a bit overextended at the moment.

I figured I'd post this here once instead of trying to offer up excuses on all the projects I'm currently involved in.

For the record, they are:
Compiling the collaborative on Breastfeeding
Organising 'Done Too Soon'
Multi-part entry on Route 66
Gem Polishing for the Underguide
Helping edit The Post during Greeb's absence
Aceing and Scouting
And I have a couple of independent entries in PR

What the Heck is Going On?

Well, for those that don't know, I do about 98% of my hootooing from work. We've had a re-shuffle recently which has resulted in my being moved to a different office (back to my old office, really), where my workload has increased more than I expected it would. Once I get settled in and establish somewhat of a routine I should have a bit more time, but I have a few projects to finish up before I go on leave which will also take time away from my farting around on here.

The pregnancy is going well, I have about six weeks left to go. I guess it's just about time to open up the wagering . We still have a lot of work to do around the house, but I've insisted we can't move the computer out of the baby's room until we get the cable installed in the other room so we're not offline. We've decided to skip the paint (for budgeting considerations) but we still have a lot of furniture to assemble!

I do plan to log on from home while I'm off work (which I rarely do now), but it's occurred to me that between 2-hour naps, feedings, diaperings and housework I'll probably still not have the online time I'm used to getting.

What Does It All Mean?

All of this is really just an extremely long-winded way of saying 'bear with me'. I intend to see all my projects through, they're just going to take a little longer than expected.

We will "bear with you" - figuratively, however, not literally!

When the betting starts, I'll put my on a girl.

I'm hoping for a kitten

... or a bigger bun?
