Life

Ηη got two cardigans to wear to school. I don’t think he’s been as pleased with anything ever before. He likes them so much he takes them to bed with him. It’s very cute. It’s more than a little bit strange. He reminds me of my old man more than ever.

He made a Mother’s Day card which he himself mistook for a picture of ‘baby Jesus on the cross’.

Αα got a chest infection. I got a chest infection. Amoxicillin crew. It seems to be clearing her cough right up and she’s spent a couple of nights in her own cot for the first time in weeks. She managed to stay upbeat about life in spite of the fact she had an alarmingly low blood oxygen saturation whereas Ηη managed to be grumpy and upset about almost everything even though he’s the picture of health.

I had a couple of days off work and slept more and better than I have in years. It’s a weird sensation feeling far more alert than I have since before the pandemic but also feeling particularly unwell. I also can’t smell or taste anything, and not just in the got-a-bit-of-a-cold way. So maybe I had COVID at some point. Mostly I wish I could stop coughing because it’s really making my ribs hurt.

Hung out with Hugo, Gabi, Rawi, and Heather mostly happily for swathes of the weekend in the ever improving weather.

Work

I largely missed firebreak week with illness although I managed to finish off the css grid thing I’d started. I also missed a digital team away day which I was not that upset about.
