sat/sun

saturday:

successfully getting our phones sorted out and watching the original dumbo

a fair amount of game-time

a frustrating afternoon walk to nowhere

yesterday:

"urgent" flailing about bureaucracy, a call from the school coordinator telling me to hurry to set up a training session that our health services claim to know nothing about (that cost 1.5 hours on the phone)

successfully fixing a critical project

money stress with the credit card date surprise - fortunately our rent was paid before anything else happened

successful context juggling

a long but useful misrad klitah meeting

a pistachio ice cream break after not picking mr smear up from school (we weren't sure if he had his animation and film class or not)

lining up ducks before meeting the boss

a great relief clearing the air and tying up a bunch of loose threads

mr smear's teacher called to check in on the morning's shenanigans, i made it clear that i have experience with israeli bureaucracy and we ultimately agreed on two issues that need to be addressed

a chat with vfmp in lieu of a game night, but with both of us making horrible noises because he has covid in addition to a sick cat

...

about halfway through the night my runny nose stopped running. i'm still uncomfortably dealing with the fallout of four days of post-nasal drip but i was able to get some real sleep afterwards even if it doesn't make up for the deficit...
