Spoke to my parents last night. Nicholas' blood tests came back okay, so my sister got to bring her baby home from the hospital yesterday afternoon.

Lucky thing I've only got half of one sleeve and part of the button strip to finish on the aran onesie I was working on for the little peanut, eh?

Got to watch another Due South episode last night. I got past the "AAAAAH I'M DOOMED" part fairly early on and spent most of the episode going 'squee!', with the occasional bout of 'that animal is about as much of a wolf as I am'. Also wrinkling my nose a lot at the female lead's excessive hair and makeup.

On a semi-related note, my calendar this year appears to have pretty much every Canadian holiday in addition to the American ones. Also quite a lot of Mexican holidays. This was not done on purpose; I bought it because it was on sale for $4, and it was all German shepherds, and one does not get fussy about which breed of dog is on one's calendar when one is shopping for calendars at the $4 price point. It did, however, pay off in one regard. Lacking any particular reason to choose any other day, I picked 25 February 1873 as Sergeant Preston's birthday. According to my calendar, 25 February is Yukon Heritage Day.

It seemed appropriate.

Okay, feeling a bit better; I named all fifty states from memory in a little less than three and a half minutes. Granted, not really something most other Americans can do, but I doubt there's many Canadians can do it, either.
