Oatmeal, oatmeal, blah blah blah.
I mean in general, how is it going?
In general, it's going really well. One semester down, three to go, and I'm really looking forward to the coming semester -- I'm only taking three classes, and will have significantly more money in my pocket. And I'm looking forward to the three classes, so that's good.
I feel better. The woman in our team that's pregnant was keeping it a secret (well, one of her co-workers busted her to the boss accidentally). But I feel like less of a flake for thinking she was just getting fat. Of course, she's about six or seven months in, so it's pretty fat.
Damn, that seems like a long time to (try to) keep it secret, for so many reasons.
Funny part is, her boss was startled, and she was kinda pissed at the co-worker for saying anything.
Even with my lack of attention (she's not on my team, but the team adjacent), I'd picked up on it about a month or so ago.
it's been meaning "watery porridge" to me all this time
I guess the quality of being thin and watery is often used to characterize the difference between the two? I'm just going on current dictionary definitions, but I am very much wishing I could get my hands on an OED. Ah well. Better I should get back to work.
OK, now I have a problem. I just ate a sandwich that incorporated part of an avocado (but, alas, no bacon, as I had put it in the freezer). With the rest of the avocado, I made guacanole. Delicious, delicious guacamole. Is there any good reason I shouldn't just go buy some chips and eat it all right now? Other than, you know, saving it for later?
It's not as appetizing when it turns brown.
I know that some women just really don't want to tell folks they are pregnant. And I've seen some who even at 6 months just look a bit thicker. Not me? I already look like I have a bowling ball tucked under my shirt.

Ah, but I have found the solution to that problem: Coating the top with sour cream. I don't think there is an occasion where I would eat guac where sour cream would not be a welcome addition.

You have a defined pregnancy. Hers is less so, but she still looks like she's gained a bunch of weight, most of it in a potbelly. Given she's not wearing baggy clothes, it was a secret whose time was nigh.
