Quidam

Well I finally had some time off, no work this weekend although there was the opportunity. 

Daughter had science week this week. She got to grow salt crystals on string between two cups. They did a volcano also, I would have to ask her what else. She got a teddy bear and a small keychain leopard for Valentines day, along with the requisite flowers. She also went and picked out her very own fancy journal, recommended by her teacher so that she might work on her writing. We had a meeting with her teacher, she has come along so well, she was a bit behind the other kids but has caught up on handwriting (hers is better than mine) maths and everything else. Now she just needs to work on writing more.

Partner worked most of the week, along with doing a vast amount of the house work. Got her some flowers and took her to lunch for valentines, not the best I have ever done but money is still tight and I did not have money when I could have planned better. Next year she will get what she deserves. 

As for myself, I worked another big week and like last week am quite tired. It was not quite as many hours but was double shifts and so I burned at both ends. This upcoming week I have Tuesday off followed by 10 days straight. It is tough but I am greatly looking forward to the paychecks. Daughter got me a puppy for valentines, I think it helped me get a good nights sleep once I got home Friday night/Saturday morning. We all stayed in Saturday, we needed the rest for Sunday. 

Sunday we.... well we went to see Cirque du Soleil's Quidam, which was an amazing show. Me and daughter had never been to Cirque du Soleil before so it was quite a treat. The trip there however was... a chore to say the least. We got to the train station around nine something, only to find out they were doing some track work and were diverting passengers to hired coaches (buses), sadly it was train expensive and bus difficult, except if we had taken one of our local bus routes it would not only have been cheaper but easier. We had to be to the show at 1pm, we only had a half hour to spare... the trip which should have been an hour to an hour and a half max took over four!!! The trip back was easier but longer than necessary. We also had supper at a place called Girraffe, which had a menu of foods from around the world (music too) and decent prices. It was a great meal, we were all quite satisfied. So really it was a good day, just taxing lol!


Peace... One Love

Glad you enjoyed the performance. :)
And cool on Bodhi's science stuff. That's awesome. :)

I was thinking yesterday. How is your vegetarian diet coming? You mentioned you were tired, you might need more protein for the work you're doing. Lack of protein can make you tired, especially when you're working hard. Maybe an extra peanut butter sandwich or two a day would help you with some extra energy. :)

Take care. <3
