this morning i heard a noise in the toilet and went to investigate - i found mr smear wiping the potty clean after peeing and emptying it into the toilet. i don't even know where to put all this weird pride. when i brought him home from school in the afternoon, he wanted to jump off a four foot high wall but didn't want to let go off my hands - until i explained to him that being brave means being strong even when you're scared, and he freaking DID IT.
on the other hand, he did suddenly throw an inexplicable tantrum when we got into the elevator. he's only three.
speaking of which! i republished my first recording - the background to reading the sonnets - as a podcast today and i'm REALLY excited by how it came out. please give it a listen!

it's been a rough week and i've had a really tough time getting any work done; both with the amount of functional hours i've had and with wrapping my head around what it is i'm supposed to be doing. i've had some breakthroughs today and that's a great way to hit the weekend :)
sailor came over last night, we had to sit in the garden for a while because we wouldn't let him bring dairy product into the apartment, and then we discovered that the security camera we've taken months to sit down and work with didn't come with a power supply or network cable in the packaging. wtf.

gd and i had a couple of trying incidents over the last couple of day and we were in the thick of it yesterday when i had a revelation: not giving a f*** is possible in a positive way. i've been saying for a while that people need to welcome diversity, but celebrate unity, and that's as true between a husband and wife as it is on a national level. the moment we had that idea in words, we simply stopped letting about our fundamental disagreement rule our relationship. long may this last.

my tattoo is officially past the three week mark, which is a huge relief even though it's another week to go before i can swim. and another three weeks to go before i do this again - what have i gotten myself into?! (O_o)
