\u00a0Last night Peter’s sister Grace and brother in law Don arrived for a visit. It was good to see them again. I loved Grace’s red poke<\/span>-a-dot dress. They all went out for supper and the big girls used the water slide at the hotel. I stayed home with Pip who had passed out asleep at 5:30 pm from exhaustion (she’d had a sleep over in Mist’s room with her sisters and cousin the night before). I had intended to work on my class but passed out by 8 pm myself. The pace, oh the pace–I’m running on empty.\u00a0<\/div>\n
I am so thrilled at my self though, I requested to my prof that he cut out 2 assignments because they take away from the big assignment: Literature review–he listened! He announced in class today that he’s cutting<\/span> them. I am so secretly proud of myself. Also, the prof was a \u00a0lot of help organising my thesis. We managed to cut down my idea into something manageable<\/span> and exciting. I am doing my hypertextual<\/span> digital fiction project. Miranda made a suggestion about me patenting the rights to developing my idea. So, depending on my thesis outcome, I may be buying myself a patent too–teehee<\/span>.<\/div>\n
Bought the girls a kiddie pool this afternoon. I’m too freaked to get anything bigger with Pip still a tot. And\u00a0Nem<\/span>, Tabs and Mist bought themselves giant round super soft stuffie<\/span> pets. They fought over which character each wanted. They came to a pleasant<\/span> compromise<\/span>–deciding to share all three, rotating houses and naming each creature together.<\/div>\n
Gotta work tonight on the lit review. Must go to the gym early tomorrow.<\/div>\n
Very HOT here in Kelowna. An evening swim might be nice…<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
