out with the old

wishing everyone celebrating the jewish new year a happy new year!

for me, i'm hoping and praying for a new gig and less awful on-call duties.

thursday:

gd and i dropped mr smear off at school together, then took a bus to his therapist for counselling. in addition to some really good feedback, his therapist also made it abundantly clear that she doesn't agree with us switching to a public therapist and that she expects a regression. unfortunately, we can't afford to stay with her, as we haven't been able to afford the cost of private therapy since the very beginning...

i guess we'll see how things go. i feel like it's going to be okay, though.

once we got home i was absolutely exhausted, and spent the chunks of my day that i wasn't busy hating my job (and some of my coworkers) doing everything i could to keep my shit together. my work day was a horrible no-good lousy day.

after mr smear's jiujitsu class i took him to his therapist, then parked myself in a really nice hotel coffee shop on allenby for the hour. it's quite an upgrade from the shuk, even if the shuk vibe is more fun.

my stomache was very uncomfortable the whole afternoon, i don't know what that was about.

yesterday:

after a slow start to the day which included us enjoying gsp vs koscheck 2 as a family, we all went to the mall and got a couple of different things sorted out, including making sure we have puzzles for our new yom kippur family tradition.

the rest of yesterday is a blur, but it definitely involved resting and video games.

today so far:

i had a rough night last night with my lower back and legs, but i did sleep a little. and i'm perpetually on edge about being on-call.

mr smear and i started the day by finished the empire strikes back, and i was surprised by how much detail i'd forgotten.

we're on our way to have lunch at friends, which is a big deal for mr smear because he's taken issue with his friend of late and his friend is the reason we're all friends... hopefully he'll be cool.

i'm tired.
