It seems simultaneously odd and yet logical to make a post basically saying nothing has happened yet. Because, well, at this point it could be Any Time Now in which that changes. But no, nothing has happened yet.

(Colin's facebook comment on this was that he now feels the need to preface every phone call to or from his parents with "You're not a grandfather/mother yet" This trend I think started with my own dad's last phone call. Dad doesn't call, or get called, often -- once or twice a year unless something big happens, and about that many e-mails -- but this news, he's waiting for.)

The crib is assembled, the furniture placed in the nursery, and some of the bedroom was cleaned up and out with the thought that if we want the bassinet in here, it would be nice to be able to fit it around the detritus we allow to accumulate. Also, I killed many's the dust bunny. Colin's been doing a number of smallish useful jobs around the house; nothing that makes as much visible progress on the reno as might be, but he's been far from inactive.

Writing is going argh-wise. I chose to make another potential change which required another quick wave of revision (2-3 days total). I need to remember to save a version without this particular change, because I really am undecided if it was a good idea or a disaster.

Although I think I went back through and did it as much so I had a chance to think about the ending stuff I'm feeling slightly uneasy about. And now I'm saying, Enough thinking. Go forth and do.

Or at least, at this hour, go forth and do tomorrow. :P
