Afternoon Miscellany

The Maternity Leave countdown clock is gone. Good-bye, widget. You were so good at making me feel panicky and sad.

It's official. I'm going back to work starting May 2nd. That doesn't feel like a good thing, but I'll always be a housewife at heart. I'll just look like a banker, and think about money even more than I do now.

And I finally updated my About page. Again. So I'm changeable. Big deal.
