Checking in

First of all, I'm OK. Last week I wrote about feeling overwhelmed, and haven't written anything since. I really am OK; this past weekend was Thanksgiving in Canada and I had to do a lot of driving, other than spending time with my wife's family. But I have been up to some things, so here's a bit of a mishmash of what I've been doing. It's almost a thoughts post but not quite. Life While driving home Monday, I passed a couple of cars and "had" to get up to ~127 km/h to do so. Immediately after, an OPP patrol car came from the opposite direction and pulled me over (understandably and deservedly, the speed limit on that part of the highway is 90 km/h). I was super lucky, the officer only told me "try to slow down" and did not give me a ticket. Maybe my barking reactive dog in the back seat made him think it's not worth stressing her out more? Today my wife is 26 weeks pregnant. How did half a year go by already? I've done a lot of prep work in the house, getting things ready for the baby…
