sunday

we had to have some more conversations this morning, but it does feel like there's some progress going on. really slow progress.

oh, and around 7.30 there was another rocket attack.

i spent my morning getting a bunch of random things done - including helping gd, whose back is giving her real trouble - and at 9.45am i suddenly realized that i had an important in-person meeting in the office at 10am.

good grief.

i was ten minutes late, but fortunately i wasn't the latest person to the party :P

our two hour meeting went on for three hours, at which point i needed to head home for lunch and to take mr smear to his therapist. then i returned to work, and once he was done he made it most of the way to the office before getting stuck :P

i think it was a partially successful afternoon, though the most effective work i did was after putting mr smear to bed. although, to be fair, i think i did a fair job of selling my boss and coworkers a hardened communication design that i picked up a few years ago while contracting.

mr smear did a fair amount of homework while we were there, and then continued after dinner. his bedtime ended up getting pushed a bit later, but he did the work without complaining and he did it well.

i've done a bunch of the dishes, i've watched a bunch of random youtube videos (playing a lot of minesweeper games while doing so), and it's not after midnight and i think - i think - i should probably head to bed.
