early up

i woke up with a coughing fit at 5.30am, i can't believe this shit is STILL going on. i occupied myself for an hour and half (mostly watching james acaster) until i was ready to try to rest again, at which point my son yelled "DADDY!", and when i went to his room i found him pointing at the window. "it's morning, right?"

shit.

so up we got, beginning the day with peter gabriel's sledgehammer video (how have i never seen that before?!), followed by transformers so that i could rest my eyes a bit. kind of. for the next couple of hours, not quality sleep.

i then coffee'd up to take mr smear outside, we walked through the company gardens and ran into our friends walking the other way, so they joined us on a mission for vegan belgian waffles which was really nice. we then went to my mom's coffee shop, and my mom dropped me and mr smear off at home after a quick stop at the jewish museum. i put on labyrinth and passed out for a bit while gd took over, woke up with coffee and an interesting chat with nystire about encryption, spent the evening keeping mr smear occupied before dinner, shower and bedtime, then decided to do my exercises and go to bed.

well, it's now two and a half hours later, i'm not quite finished my exercises yet and it's after midnight. i'm going to bed wishing myself luck for the morning, but i do feel really, really good about how my weekend went.
