winding down

just watched the icj ruling. the live chat on the icj ruling: i'm absolutely fascinated by how many south africans and pro-palestinians have completely misunderstood what the judges are saying. aside from instructing us to take harsher measures against any idiots who make genocidal statements, they're telling us to continue operating as we have been, and have even called out hamas both for not following international law (not that they'll care) and for continuing to hold civilian hostages.

i'm relieved that some semblance of sanity still reigns.

what the fuck is up with the watermelon?!!?

tuesday:

i don't remember much about the day itself, but i remember coming home exhausted, straight into a bullshit fight with mr smear. he was rude to both gd and myself, and ultimately ended up eating alone and putting himself to bed early in spite of our attempts to fix things.

wednesday:

the day started sensitively, but i managed to have a productive conversation and get us off to a good start.

work was all about implementing PR feedback. some of it was actually fun. the evening went much better than the day before.

yesterday:

a really nice start to the morning, even if gd hurt herself again (not as bad as the last time, hopefully she'll recover quickly). 

i had one job to do on wednesday (upgrade a react admin project), and i managed to get it right just i needed to leave. i ate too much delicious curry for lunch.

after accompanying mr smear to his mma class, i had a half-hour chat with a journalist who might be interested in an aspect of our immigration story.

over dinner we finished watching the new wonka movie, it's pretty cool and a great excuse to go back to the original charlie and the chocolate factory.

falling asleep at mr smear's bedtime and on the couch, though getting through another episode of freaks and geeks with gd. a part of me is in a hurry because i've convinced her to give futurama a try afterwards, but mostly of me is happy to drag out the rewatch because it's so freaking enjoyable.

bloons adventure time to bed.

today so far:

as i started writing this, my son was next to me dancing madly to spiderheck music (that's two weeks of not picking at his lips or his fingers, this has been great value for money so far), and i've just finished another once-over of mold spray, leaving the windows open for a little and hoping it doesn't resume raining just yet.

aside from taking mr smear to school and picking him up afterwards, i've had no energy for anything other than freaks and geeks and bloons adventure time. we're two thirds of the way through the former, and omg the writing is amazing and gd and i spent a lot of time hiding our faces in cringe.

as i finish writing this, i've just closed the windows and i feel (i hope) i did a good enough job to keep us for the weekend.
