Congrats on the baby. Enjoy your tim off!

Thanks! I'm counting the days.

According to the women at work, whose shoes are now alll in my closet, your feet probably won't return to the pre-pregnancy size.

Meanwhile, I'm quite happy to look after any unwanted shoes that you might have . . . teehee.

As long as they return to a size that shoe manufacturers actually make, I'll be happy. Right now, they're so swollen that I would need something like an 11 or 12, which would be waaaay too long for me to actually walk in.

Awwww, that's amazing and awesome! Congrats on your upcoming new arrival!

I had a few crates of notebooks like that, and schoolwork essays too. I did keep some of the choice ones but had to throw away a number of things. I'm a bit of a pack rat but it's hard to let go.

What was funnier, though, was re-reading some of what I wrote. Half the time I thought 'yikes', the other half I thought 'I wrote that? I don't even understand what I wrote!' It's amazing how high-level your brain is during years of scholarly training. :)

I glanced at some notes from a class that I apparently understood at the time, and it was all gender-this and linguistics-that and I have no idea what it was about now. That's what happens your university education meets with the realities of teaching 12 year olds. They don't need to know about gender studies, they need to know about commas.

Oh, well, at least I was smart at one time.

I can well remember having to wear my brother's trainers, which were 6 sizes bigger than my feet, at the end of my pregnancy. You have my sympathy.
