weekend survival mode

friday 17th:

another sleepless night. getting it together to take the cleaning lady to the hospital to help get gd home, a long story with a very helpful uber driver and we were finally back at my mom's.

a delicious friday night dinner by gd's friend

saturday 18th:

gd and i both waking up around 4am with aches and pains and insomnias

starting the day with the lego movie - videogame, not sure whether mr smear was enjoying the experience as much as i did.

gd's friends taking mr smear to the park across the road and having a great time

a day of actual productivity (gd claiming it was hers for inducing me after her hypnotherapy class), working on my encryption solution and getting through a good chunk of research for the next podcast episode.

watching flushed away with mr smear - what a fantastic film!

sunday 19th:

finishing another episode of game of thrones before 1am, gd and i waking up around 4am again

a tougher day as neither gd nor i were ready to deal with mr smear's level of energy. starting the day with more research and experimenting with war thunder (amazing) and dota 2 (cool, not doing that to myself).

our cousin dropping off her son and picking up mr smear to take him to see his first movie at the cinema, and me giving her son some tips and tricks for examination-conditions programming and running him through a practice exam. my sister rocking up for a quick visit, and then my son being returned with a fantastic report about him being perfectly behaved and loving the movie - although, like everything i'm interested in hearing about - refusing to tell me anything about the experience. "no, only mommy and granny!".

an interesting rehash of a decade-old conversation with my mum, a fiery indian curry dinner (gd needed to have hers replaced, i just ate in tears), completing the podcast episode research and posting this and getting ready to get ready to return to work tomorrow.
