bring on the weekend, please

i'm feeling better, but my post-nasal drip / resulting cough hasn't entirely gone away and that's been upsetting.

not as upsetting as mr smear throwing the weirdest tantrum this morning - he was so excited to get out of bed for the school's field trip to the science centre, and then somehow got it in his head that this field trip and becoming a scientist in israel are mutually exclusive. and then, after making us late, waze threw its own tantrum and tried to steer us in the completely wrong direction, so i got lost in obs for five minutes before coming right.

so *i* started the day needing a stiff drink.

the good news is that halfway there he decided he was going to try to enjoy the trip, and when we picked him up later he'd had a really good time.

i spent the majority of my day figuring out how to test my changes from yesterday. i didn't finish off the day with a good feeling - i'd picked up a code review that i really wasn't in the right headspace for - but i'm at least confident with my changes and desperately in need of shabbat.
