The girls have made it through their first week of school in good form. My eldest is anxious about taking buses by herself, so we will have a go at addressing that tomorrow. I entirely recognise her emotional state. She acknowledges that it is not rational, but it still brings her to the brink of tears and beyond. I just want to coddle her through it because I know her heart is in the right place -- she's just suffering anxiety much as I do. My empathy is nearly overwhelming; when she cries, so do I, so what can I do except be entirely understanding? I hope that as a side effect of me indulging my need to give her the utmost sympathy and support that she will learn to soothe and calm herself through anxiety inducing experiences. I hope, hope, hope.
The younger ones are just now coming in from the yard. They've been playing with the new and as yet unnamed dog. Everyone is pretty happy there.
I'm beginning to suspect that I'm either coming down with something or trying really hard not to. Headaches, fatigue, loss of appetite (though I have been watching that I am eating *enough* and a suitable range of foods) general sensitivity to touch, light, smell, sound... everything. Not really experiencing a sore throat, but my right ear decided to hurt today, too. And I have this pain in the diodes all down my left side... hmm.
I'm still getting a few things done. Uni enrollment is organised; the mandatory killer subject of doooom and Data Mining. So far. I want to see whether the new enrollment system will buck if I try to take an extra class. I'd still be at less than full time, I could still withdraw without penalty before the census date... and there are so many that look so interesting and so useful.
I need to replace a speaker on my laptop. Or perhaps the whole laptop. Not that I should be trying to afford that at the moment. *sigh*
My weekend will consist of more cleaning and organising and bus rides after garage saleing; hoping to find timber for a couple of projects I have in mind. And celebrating my mother's birthday over Sunday lunch. And preparing the girls for school again on Monday.
Mmmm. Sleeeepy. Also deeply interested in the lecture I'm listening to.
I need to be up early and the lecture will be there tomorrow. Sleep wins.
