a welcome weekend

 i'm off to bed, just quick notes:

1. my work week was all over the place, but ended on such a great note i'm still excited by it.

2. i've been to the gym three times in the past week, and already gained a couple of kilos.

3. i drove out to a scrap metal place to sell our broken tap, i was pleasantly surprised to receive R120 for its 2kgs.

4. mr smear's dairy allergy appears to be lessening. he's still got to have an epipen, but it is slightly less stressful for us. gd, on the other hand, has turned out to be massively allergic to marijuana - so much so that someone smoking around her could put her in the hospital :(

5. i don't know if i resent the jewish agency or the canadian embassy more. the jewish agency for demanding an apostille / signature on every document, the canadians for making it so hard (and ridiculously expensive, $80 per document!)

so now i have to get a courier to pick it up documents from the apostille in johannesburg and deliver them to the canadian embassy, *if* i can convince the embassy to accept my payment form via email.

$#%!.

6. i really, really hope the weather improves over the weekend because gd and i are finally both able to get in the pool!

7. mr smear's been doing cool things in minecraft so we bought it. guitar hero live has just arrived today! it seems like my birthday celebrations are starting early this year >D
