the twist

 so... it's always tough getting mr smear out of bed. this morning, after trying the usual tactics, i grabbed him and pulled him towards the edge of the bed... and threw my own back out.

jesus, fuck.

i managed to get it to calm down a little, but it's been threatening all day.

it was a rainy day today, with - as usual - the heavens opening up just as mr smear and i arrived at the school. fortunately, i was armed with an umbrella and was wearing my new galoshes. i think it's the first rain day i've gone in to the office.

on the way to the office, i went to the hospital with gd to book appointments. it took a while, but it was relatively smooth.

it was a nice work day. very social. i learned a new trick and i think i'm mostly done implementing it.

i left work feeling very much done for the day. after getting home and relaxing a bit, i helped mr smear with his homework assignments (still going strong) and we watched a hunter x hunter episode and a little bit more of harry potter and the chamber of secrets.

now i'm trying to decide what i'm doing with the rest of my evening. my brain's all over the place, but not in a useful way...
