one week later

freaky. it's been a busy week. just invested in a black-friday-deal sewing machine, watched most of hochelaga, terre des âmes (some of the reviews are just silly, it's got some minor issues but overall it's excellent), we had a really nice dinner at plant (mr smear devoured their seitan shwarma).

it's been a disappointing week at work, i really feel like it's not the place for me. some of my teammates and i are just not going to be on the same page, and some of the work is engaging but mostly it's dull as hell. i'd probably perform a lot better if i cared.

mr smear came running after me this morning after we said goodbye, in tears and unable to communicate through his sobbing. eventually i managed to work out that he was upset because he'd given me a kiss goodbye, but forgotten to blow a kiss as well...

... oh, and a little drama happened today when gd discovered that she's been worrying about bullying going on based on the reports of a four year old, and our son's versions of events don't seem to line up with reality so well. but he's very good at telling his teachers "my mommy says _____ is a bully".

after struggling a bit to format my book for publishing, i've been trying to organize an ISBN number. getting to the right people is a slow process.

it's been two weeks now, i'm finally feeling good about my podcast again!

over the weekend i borrowed my mom's car and took mr smear to a bicycle birthday party, remembering that i was on-call and getting a team-mate to cover for me. later on i drove to dystopia's birthday party, and had been there for a couple of hours having a grand old time when i suddenly realized that nobody was covering for me and i'd left my laptop at home. *that* was a rush :/

two weeks no coffee on weekdays, so far so good. seems like a legit plan. i think my physio and i aren't friends anymore since i missed the last appointment, but i also think i'll be fine and i need to get back into the gym (although i did swim a little yesterday evening, the weather's warming up fast).

i think i missed some things. whatever.

* oh! space invaders - infinity gene is AWESOME.
