Fast, slow, fast, slow... (Kilala.nl (Cailin Coilleach)) by Cailin Coilleach

Obviously our lives have changed a lot now that Dana's here and with all of the changes our professional lives have gone through. After seven weeks it seems that things are finally starting to ebb out though and there's a semblence of routine to our days. Unfortunately one part of said routine is that I spend way less time on the web and thus my journal gets neglected a little bit. So here's another bulk update :)

Last Friday was killer =_= I'd been making a few overhours left and right all week, but I'd decided to compensate these hours on Friday since we had some visitors coming over to our house. Of course it's obvious that the one day I have an appointment that things get hectic at the office. Out of the five people supporting BoKS there were only two in and one of them (not me) was set to get on his plane to Spain. Of course we just -had- to get a nasty production issue that had me home by 1700 instead of 1400 :/ Mind you, I'm not complaining about the work itself, it's just that life sometimes sends you these planning curve balls.

In contrast the weekend was both relaxed and veeery slow. Saturday we took care of the house and went shopping in Amersfoort. Since we had a little bit of leeway in our spending money we could afford to get Marli a substantial renewal of her post-pregnancy wardrobe. I also got an awesome new coat from Scotch & Soda. I just noticed that S&S; has an outlet store in Batavia Stad, so maybe I ought to visit that place sometime soon :)

Sunday was the "slooow" part. Half of the day was spent watching the Spongebob marathon on Nickelodeon, with the other half being spent on the search for a new house. We're looking for a more modern streethouse, as opposed to the aging apartment we're living in. Almere may be Squaresville, but there's some affordable yet goodlooking houses over there.

It's great to be home again (Kilala.nl (Cailin Coilleach)) by Cailin Coilleach

Sssh! I'm quietly typing this on my iPhone, while Marli is asleep next to me :)

Yesterday Marli was dismissed from the hospital and we were allowed to go home. Of course I was the stereotypical, wishy-washy father so at first I forgot the parking slip, then I forgot my wallet and then I didn't have any cash for the hostess' bill. All in all it took an hour just to get out of there :D

Around two we were greeted by our temp homecare nurse Anouk, from Partula. Anouk got down to business right away and was a bit of a whirlwind about the house. While I was away doing some much needed shopping with my mom, Anouk helped Marli with the feeding and bathing of our daughter, meanwhile dispensing huge amounts of useful information. It was a bit too much to take in, but since Anouk's a loudish and cheery woman it was fun nonetheless. :)

Tonight went better thAn expected. Where the nights in the hospital were irregular, iratic and filled with crying, tonight had a steady rhytm to it! *glee* This rhytm feels good and allows us three hour periods pfsleep between one hour blocks of baby-maintenance. All in all I reckon I'll be able to get five to six hours of sleep on working days. I guess I'll manage that for a while.

Now... It's time for breakfast! >3

Fourty-nine microwaves cooking fourty-nine Hot Pockets for two minutes, one after the other.

One episode of Battlestar Galactica plus thirty-nine minutes to troll the Net and post about who the fifth Cylon might be.

Between now and forever that I can go home.
