Aliash, I just got my 'Becoming Vegan' book in the mail. Excited to read it! Also, I just got offered fulltime permanent work in my field. Excited about that although will make it harder to finish phd; I guess, it will just take longer.

The important part of course is that I can relax a bit about income and know that *when* DH and I are successful on the TTC front, perhaps in 6-12 months, I'll be eligible for maternity leave. And we have some chance of moving into a new home too with more income. Phew

PS. Aduki press are great. I know the woman who started it up (Emily). I've never explored Sydney so I'll have to remember that recommendation when we go!
