one foot in front of the other

i cannot believe it's wednesday night, i'm completely buggered and i'm finding it very hard to be effective and productive.

the big changes this week are about mr smear and independence; setting things up so he can do as much as possible on his own seems to be making a bit of a (positive) difference in his behaviour. it's not all roses, but another side-effect is that we're somehow managing to bring his bedtimes under control and this is the third night in a row that we've gotten him in bed at a more reasonable hour.

other good news: gd's police clearance is ready! we're waiting for the courier to pick it up and then we're one step closer to getting all her documents apostilled...

i found this ted talk on posture and movement fascinating, and it seems to be helping a bit.

i'm a bit sad that the past couple of months have been devoid of new tattoos, but i'm excited to have completed another one yesterday and i'm looking forward to my friday and saturday sessions!
