Just so you all realize it is not just Rainbows & Unicorns here in the Dam, I'll let you know that today has sorta got "monday" written all over it, even though it is all dressed up as "wednesday"...
I woke up at 0:35 which is 12:35 am and not sure if I ever really got back to sleep. No idea why... and then I'm wondering if this bed it too soft? And could I be getting permanent spinal problems?? And should I remove the
extra mattress padding? And are my eyes starting to go? How old when your eyes start to go? What are all the steps & papers we still need to take care of with the government & the bank!? Must remember to have that certificate FedExed
to me! And all the dumb things that just keep running thru your brain when you can't sleep.
Then Kai tries to get up at 5...I'm sure his brain is running a Minecraft program but I tell him to at least
stay in bed until 6. So I am tired. Meh. 🤨
The
morning routine is going well until we try to get the PE uniform (aka: PE "kit") ready... no bag, no adidas, no shorts although I do find one of the many PE shirts. But where is the rest of the kit? Not in this tiny apartment - it is impossible
to hide anything here. So he has left it at school or on the back of his bike (which has already happened). Let's all hope he finds it at school. Otherwise I'm sure I'll find the bag, his shoes, shorts & shirt at next week's flea market
so it's all good...!
Riding to school is just a bit drizzly but that's ok. On my way home I find the cobbles a bit more cobbley than I remember & look down at the flat in front. Double Meh.🤨🤨 I walk the bike to the shop where we bought
it & lock it out front...I'll go visit later when they open.
It's OK because each of these little challenges brings me closer to the goal of knowing my way around, knowing what to do, how to be
a city-dweller & how to take the little setbacks in stride.
bonus: This morning since I'm detoured home & not quite at the gym yet, I've made myself the perfect decaf latte right here in my kitchen &
it is delicous.
Have a good day everybody & don't let the turkeys get you down! (that's a special shout out to mama Kath & Team Tinou)
