A short list

Things making me happy these days:

• My husband, who is a newscaster on a certain Canadian public broadcasting radio station, recently managed to hide a Doctor Who reference in a story about wolves stealing calves from farms. "Farmers in the Abitibi have a Bad Wolf problem..." He waited until he was sure I would hear it. He's the best.
• I bought this Muppet Show lunch box in Old Quebec. It's pretty much the awesomest thing ever. And yes, I take my lunch to work in it. All the other kids my co-workers are so jealous.
• The weather here has been pretty fantastic, which has meant a lot of sitting around drinking sangria on the patio.
• I go on two weeks' vacation as of Sunday. Even more sangria/patio action.
• Strawberries. Mmmm.

Things making me not so happy these days:

• I made the mistake of wearing a top with an empire waist to work today, and a customer said, "Oh, you have a bun in the oven!" My oven is currently bun-free. But thanks for making me feel bad about my weight, lady. I'm never wearing that shirt to work again.
• I had a follow-up doctor's appointment for my ongoing sinus problem. I am having surgery on Sept 25th to correct my slightly deviated septum.
• My mother wants to come up and visit this September for our birthday (She and I have birthdays two days apart). She plans to bring my dad with her. That'll be fun.

The good things outweigh the bad things, so I'm calling it a win.

What is it with your customers thinking it's okay to ask about your nonexistent children?

(Also, unrelated: by any chance, are you thinking of going to Worldcon in Montreal next year? Because I am trying to convince columbina we should go.)

Seriously, right? What makes people think it's OK to talk to strangers about this?

(And yes, I am thinking of going to Worldcon. I haven't been to a Con in ages, and Montreal is the centre of my geekiness!)
