what day is it?

 this past week was absolutely nuts, even if i could write down all the highlights i'm sure i'd be missing important stuff.

• i don't even want to go to ikea again. we went at the worst possible time, thursday evening in rishon le'tzion, and it was horrific.
  at least mr smear got to ride on a real train.
• we still don't have furniture. but i have managed to pay rent / the real estate agent / legal fees on time.
• work has been good, but it's been hard making up hours. my phone now makes me nervous.
• i've now got two job offers that i'm excited about, but the mongoose is telling me things that i'm not convinced are correct and trying to decide whether these offers are good or not is a confusing mess.
  i have had some very interesting conversations, some of them with the wrong people.
  i've officially given notice on the last day before i would have been contractually obligated to continue for an additional month.
• i've been declining interviews for companies and one of them has been desperately trying to guilt me into coming in anyway. they even tried to convince me to come in during their "happy hour" for whiskey.
• we still don't have furniture.
• mr smear enjoyed two playdates with kids his own age on saturday, and they were wildly successful!
• mr smear has lost his second tooth in two weeks, the tooth fairy had to go out after bedtime to make change...
• we're still struggling to get mr smear into a school, but it does kinda feel like we're making progress.
• while our washing machine was disconnected we used a laundry service called "kvisi", and they destroyed four of gd's garments. then they took them back to fix them and they returned them even worse. then they called this evening to explain to us how we should be satisfied that they've done the best they could, and that they're willing to offer us a discount for the next time we use them. 
• summer is coming.
