G'day, folks.
I was so busy last week with my problems that I didn't get a chance to get out and do any shopping. So I went out today. mother in law came too - she had planned to go out by bus but it IS a long way and it's a rough road. I managed to buy a new down pillow (expensive, but worth it when I get pressure pain) and my old one is now in the washing machine. Hopefully a wash will rejuvenate it, but it will probably take days to dry, even in the almost-summer heat we have at the moment. And hopefully on the new pillow I'll manage to get some sleep at last.
We got all our grocery shopping done too. In the store where easy child 2/difficult child 2 used to work, a lot of the girls came up to ask how she's going and to see any wedding photos. It was fairly clear that she is well-liked by her former co-workers. The problem was the new (male) supervisor who was breaking a lot of rules; when she questioned his behaviour and asked head office for a ruling, that's when problems really started which led to her losing her job, we believe. We're still fighting that one.
She finished her prac placement today (studying to be a pre-school teacher) and has until Monday night to finish writing up her notes. Then she has to register for unemployment and has a lot of other administrative running around to do.
Tomorrow I have a writers meeting at the library, plus I need to meet up with easy child 2/difficult child 2 to give her a bag of fabric scraps so she can finish off her Melbourne Cup Day hat. If I'm not busy I might even spend Cup Day (next Tuesday) with her at the pub. If I can, I'll get some photos of her in her Melbourne Cup Day outfit. It's a big day in Australia - it's the horse race that stops the nation.
difficult child 3 has been studying more, he's going to have to get a lot done for his exams. We want him to pass well so he can continue to take these subjects at a high level for senior high school. Just over a week to go, for his first big exam.
The weather here is sunny with clear blue skies. We had to park in the sun today, on the roof of the mall. The car heats up fast in summer. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to park in the underground car park at the library. If I can get some free time to relax, I'm heading for the beach. It's time to see if my swimsuit still fits...
Enjoy your Friday, everyone.
