Overdoing it September 14, 2006

Yesterday I took Finn into the city for a hearing test. Today I am stuffed.

Finn thought we were going to take the train, but instead we drove, parked near Jeff’s Shed, walked to a tram stop and took a tram to the corner of Collins & Elizabeth Sts. Finn loved it, so there are more tram trips planned. Coming home involved the reverse procedure.

I’ve not done that stuff with Finn before. Mark always did it while I was working. This was my first time having to muscle a pusher through city streets and deal with the logistics of getting on and off public transport. I need more practise.

When we got home Finn took ages to eat lunch and go down for a sleep. I should have gone to bed when he did, but like the fool that I am I didn’t and I was a wreck by the time Mark got home. I really need to learn about daytime naps.

Today I feel like crap. I think it’s in part a result of yesterday and in part a combination of my cold giving me a kick as it leaves and hayfever caused by whatever smelly, flowery thing it is that I can smell everywhere (it’s not in my garden, it must be in one of the neighbours). Emmylou also seems to think that today is the day to bark at EVERYTHING. I may have to kill her before the day is out.
