A stressful week

Longest blogging lapse in two years, I think. I desperately need to turn in three chapters that I promised my adviser a week ago.

This has been a miserable time.

Not that it’s compounding my misery, but Brianna is being thrown out of her mother’s house, effective tomorrow. (Brianna has turned eighteen, and her mother is within her legal rights.)

No, Brianna isn’t going to live with us. She’s taking a spare room in a friend’s friend’s house.

There is some good news. On Tuesday, Karin & I found out that we’re going to have a baby boy. The child seems healthy. The due date is in mid-October.
