Day 146

Rain, rain, rain! Have I mentioned before how much I love being warm and cosy inside, while it's windy and pouring with rain outside? Well that is today all over. My boys are both tucked up warm in bed, fast asleep for their nap... so I'm taking the time to update the blog while my brain is still functioning before the tiredness hits this afternoon!

This morning we ventured out into the weather, to visit a daycare centre. Sam didn't want to leave after we had a look around so I take that as a good sign that he will be happy there. He will be going one day per week.. every Tuesday, starting next week! I think it will do Sam the world of good to have some more socialisation, fun activities and a way to burn up some energy.... and the break will be good (great!) for me as well.. some special time with Jacob, as well as time to get things done, or to do nothing at all if I feel like it!

We got a lovely surprise with Lewy coming home earlier than usual today..his job got rained out, electricity and water are not a great match!  So we've enjoyed a nice relaxing afternoon together. Sam was so excited to get up from his nap to see Daddy sitting on the couch :)

My work load has gone through the roof lately for some reason...it's a controllable busy though, and I like zoning my mind onto work for awhile, it's good for me :)

I actually started this post around 12pm.. and it's now past 4.30pm. Many distractions in between! The rain has not stopped all day.... what a nice change!

Photography course update - I think I take less photos now that I'm doing the course than I did before! I'm learning so much, there is a lot of technical information to take in, which gets a bit overwhelming, but the teacher has a knack of making it easier to understand and to make it 'fun' which is most important, together with the fact that she doesn't seem to mind all my emails with lots and lots of questions! I have to take some time tomorrow to take photos to submit for the Week 3 assignment. 

The bad news....while I was in Mandurah, Jacob grabbed the camera cord off the table and the camera hit the ground.... and since then my 2nd lens (the one I've just started experimenting with!) has not been working the same, so I have to take it to a camera place to get it checked out, possibly a clean. Fingers crossed it's going to be okay. The positive side of this, I've changed the setting to be 100% manual with that lens, so even though the auto setting is playing up, it's good practice for me to set the controls myself. Thankfully, my other lens is still working on auto, so all good there. 

Have I totally bored you all with that update?! 

Soon I'm going to post an update about my journey and experience with Post Natal Depression... just trying to get the words right to make sure I do it justice. Stay tuned :)

Have a great Friday night all! x
