Life

Σσ has got far too much on but I don’t think there’s anything anyone can do about it. She was supposed to have the majority of half term off with the kids but couldn’t avoid getting dragged into countless work crises. I’m hoping it’ll calm down before Christmas before something snaps.

I felt very busy and productive at my work for a day or two of NodeJS upgrades, right up until the point we realised that it had all been in vain (the numbers I was changing weren’t relevant for the code that was in production because something-something-lambdas-something). Am I part of Macro Data Refinement.

Αα dropped her lunchtime nap for the first time on the train up to Beverley on Friday. Then she doubled down and did it again on Saturday. On neither occasion did it translate to a better night’s sleep so it was entirely the worst of both worlds.

Maybe there’s a good version of Halloween available somewhere (probably USA), but there’s nothing about the UK version of it that appeals to me. Dressing up, shit (E-number and gelatine filled) sweets, mountains of plastic waste, and (even more) hyperactive children. The little cousins enjoyed hanging out with each other though, sugar-related breakdowns notwithstanding. I just think they'd have enjoyed hanging out together just as much (maybe more) without the rigmarole. But I'm a miserable shit so perhaps I've got it all wrong.

Σσ’s sisters appear to be in the midst of a chronic communications breakdown so there was a faint air of awkwardness for the duration of our stay. We successfully stayed out of it.

Back in London, Ηη figured out how to do the monkey bars on Sunday evening, and was justifiably proud of himself. I was too. I tried (again) to get him to see that he got there through practice, but I got the impression that it fell on entirely deaf ears.
