Hair splinters?
Short update today, I am knackered.
Biography of a nobody day 8. January 8th 2021.
Managed to speak with Wayne today and one of my brothers (Mark)- they helped me sort a design out for something I am making for my Dad. Yes, as well as acting and modelling, Wayne is also a freelance designer and artist. Talent is not handed out evenly!
I had quite a laugh with my brother, we joked about our kids and engineering. I joked about my weak hand skin compared to when I rock climbed and when I was a full-time Welder. I cut my own hair the other day and actually got a hair stuck in my finger. That is quite a drop in skin strength from being able to dangle my entire body weight from a couple of fingers on some sharp stone to managing to impale myself with a hair. A HAIR. A hair splinter: a Splair? A Hainter? I don't know.
Anyway- I got my project finished so that was good.
Alex didn't go to nursery today because on the way there she said she didn't feel well then let out a cough. ALARM BELLS. She also said she had a tummy ache and headache. I thought a little cough and her saying she felt unwell was enough reason to keep her home in the current circumstance. I had no idea a 3-year-old could fake being ill!
On the way home I called my Mum. Alex is massively fond of my Mum, or Nanny as she calls her, and so I thought it would cheer her up. The next thing I hear from Alex in the back of the car is:
“Daddy I don't feel poorly anymore. I feel all better. Can we go see Nanny?”
That made me suspicious, but again, who knew 3-year-olds would fake illness? We then went home and she proceeded to laugh along and sing to Paw Patrol without a care in the world. No mini eggs for her today. She is definitely not poorly she just wanted to play with me all day. I'm not complaining- we had loads of fun!
The evening went as it should. I had dinner, watched some TV, played some games, read the little one a story for bed. It's 9:42 pm and I am in bed early for the first time in what feels like a month. I am going to therefor embrace the ability to sleep and post this via the Wix app on my phone! Technology is awesome.
