dishing it out

 we're two days in and this isn't a bad week so far.

work-wise, iffy but trending positive. the week started sour with my team lead "taking me off the project", but this morning i got him on board with letting me close it out and so far mostly good. i also managed to deliver something everyone is excited about, in spite of losing most of yesterday to writing up last week's incidents...

mr smear was still at home today, although i suspect he should've been back at school already. he really likes chilling at home. i guess i should be grateful he's feeling safe and secure.

i managed to upgrade the mobile app on saturday night! expo's new system is a little weird, but good enough, and it felt good to do something with the project.

this evening i met up with scrapper for frisbee. we did play a little, but we also did a very basic old-people's workout at the park gym and we caught up on a ton of stuff. it was fun.

finally - doing the dishes has been a big deal for both of us. it's like a forced meditation for me, and a huge break for gd. i wish i'd thought of this before.

...

i had a revelation a couple of days ago, and it's that as high as the cost of living in tel aviv may be, it's not actually as expensive to live here as it was for us in cape town. of the three cities i've lived in in the past decade, cape town is by far the most expensive.

economics are weird.
