Week 4: Marble Rivendell Daycare

School

Daycare continues to be the most limiting factor in my productivity these days by far. It's expensive, it's hard to find and it's impossible to coordinate with a changing schedule.

Anyway... I was offered an extra day of daycare this week and jumped at the chance. It's a stretch for us to afford it, but I think it will be worth the investment for another half day of work each week. That's good... I love my day care provider and J loves going (I think). I told her earlier that wanted more days, but she was full and I didn't want to move J to another provider... they say children with too many caregivers have a hard time forming trusting relationships later in life. Is it true? I don't know.

Maybe it's just that I didnt have the heart to go through the search, check references, adjust process again.

When she told me there was an opening and we could have the extra day... I was a happy girl.

Also, I sent a pair of drafts to the advisor this week and resumed programming on the next phase.

Pretty successful week in this boat.


Knitting

Last week had been a bust as I finished one WIP, but frogged another. I stared to finish yet a third WIP and it wound up taking me way longer than I thought to finish. Alas. Oh well... knitting is like that. I intend to catch up this week by finishing two new projects. One is about 50% done already, and another will be quick, so Im hopeful that I will get back on track with my challenge.
