frenetic

i got up really early this morning, drank a cup of coffee, and prepared for the first technical interview at a really cool place. i think it went well, even though it began with my just wanting to close my eyes and take a little nap.

my stomache's better, but still a bit problematic, and i'm not sure if the fatigue and fogginess is a symptom of the original infection or a side effect of the antibiotics.

i returned home, most of the following hour or two were consumed by me trying to get the delivery that was promised on friday and yesterday sorted out. eventually we came right, but not without things becoming a bit tense for all parties.

i rested a little, then took mr smear for a swim. he seems to be improving, but it's hard to tell. at least he seems to be enjoying the experience, and i'm hoping he's developing some kind of intuition...

i proceeded to take mr smear to the company gardens, which was mostly great - he seems interested in learning chess, and we spent a while going through basic moves on the board with child-sized pieces. he seems to be getting it?

trying to teach mr smear about honesty and keeping promises is turning out to be quite a long story. also, he gets tearful about the weirdest things. *sigh*

this is me "resting" before bedtime,  i have a stack of assessment work to get through this evening and i'm nervous because my head's full of cloud...
