Mean Guy (Or Mean, Guy)

Wow.  I've become one of those inspectors that's become numb to my operators complaints/stories of plight when I give a ticket to them.  What's more, I'm going to give 3 tickets to 3 different operators within 2 weeks.  Wtf?  That's a record for me.

Just thinking that just over a year and a month ago, I would've never thought that I would be giving tickets with the regularity that I am now.  Since when did I become a police officer?

It's like I might as well squeeze this all in before I'm off at the end of this week...lol

ABCDE (Antonio's Baptism Crazy Damn Eating)

Antonio got baptized today and he was awesome, with not crying or anything.

We had the reception at Solstice Restaurant.  With like 6 courses.  Crazy...but damn good.  I'm of course gonna have to work out tomorrow or something.

Oh, and apparently Eamon was quite the Daddy's Boy today...crying with everyone (including his mother) wanting me to hold him.  I swear I didn't brainwash him.  Sharon of course thinks I loved every minute of it.  I was flattered of course, but I don't want him to be like that...I want him to be social and not so clingy.  And then I remembered that he was only 11 months old and that this was only the first time he's done something like this.  Oh, and also that we haven't been going out much.

I have 4.5 weeks with him starting in two weeks.  Yikes and Yay!

Lots A New Parents

Went to Tyler's first birthday today and saw a bunch of Gil's friends and other people.  There were a heck of a lot new parents there, including us.

But even newer parents were Selby and his wife Amritha with their baby Crethan.  He was crazy small!  Hard to believe Eamon was once that small.

Simmer down there wistful thinker.

On the other hand, Eamon was so tired today at the party that he actually fell asleep in my arms, like he was 2 months old or something.  How could I not think that way?

Oh So You're Mobile Now?

So I came home from work.  And lo and behold...Eamon is now crawling frontwards with ease.

Yikes.  Seriously.  When?  How?  Wha?

Mind you he's still whiney, but man...my baby

Holycraponemoreweek

It's coming up!  And I pretty much arranged everything I needed to with HR at work what.

I find it amusing that I'll get all the EI and "top-up" from work, you know, once I return back to work.  But it's better than nothing, indeed

*  *  *

Not saying anything...is that a good thing or bad thing?

In Which I Learn Jogging With A Stroller Is Hard

I really shouldn't be surprised though, right?

And Eamon fell asleep as I pushed him along.  He has quite the life

The Theory Of Displacement

So we went to our osteo appointment yesterday.  I told him I was still suffering from a nagging left hammie.  He stretched it out like crazy (hurt like hell) and also pinched my calf a lot.  I actually screamed in pain.  I'm wincing right now remembering how much pain it was.

Afterwards, my hamstring felt almost 100% better!  But...my calf hurt like hell.

So really, he made the pain go away from one spot.  Unfortunately, he made it go to another spot.  But at least the original spot didn't hurt anymore.

I have, since I can remember, always suggested this method.  Whenever someone told me that they had a headache or a body part was hurting, I always asked them if they wanted me to punch them on the thigh.  You know, displace that original hurt.  I swear I think I missed my calling as an osteopath

You ever have a feeling of dread when you're going to do something because you know how it's going to turn out?  And you can't do anything about that because, well, it's your job?

I had that yesterday.  Had to go do an inspection of a place I knew was going to bad.  And of course, it was.

Now I have to charge him.  Again.  Seriously, what is with this people?

These are the days my job makes me have anxiety

*  *  *

Still mad at myself for not attempting to apply for E.I. earlier.  Now I feel like I'm scrambling.  In my mind, I have plenty of excuses, maybe some that are even valid.  But still...they are just excuses.  Now those excuses are turning into regret.  Argh

Slackin'

It dawned on me today that I have a lot of stuffs to do.

Number one of the list:  figure out the parental leave administration stuff.  Like apply for EI.  I'm feeling quite irresponsible

Went to Sears with the boy today after dinner.  He was quite tired.  He slept in my arms the whole time we were there.  I loved every second of it.  I love that guy

But How?

Letting that chip on my shoulder get filled in?

Dang.

Two weeks left.

2012 Tool Time? 2012 Tool Time.

Happy Family Day!  Or more precisely, "Happy I'm Not At Work And Instead With My Family" Day!

Bought the bike trailer today.  Looks good; can't wait to get Eamon a helmet and then take it for a spin.  He fits in it nicely and seems to like it.

We then went to Square One.  We must be gluttons for pain because it was nuts in there; like it was Boxing Day all over again.  But at least this time it was bearable because Eamon seemed to have enjoyed himself people-watching.

While at Square One, it seems I have made the decision to graduate from my first compound mitre saw.  Went to Sears and saw a double-bevel, sliding compound mitre saw.  And of course, in my awesome rationalizing ways, it is deemed a necessary buy because it will make the crown moulding I still have to do much easier.  Plus it's more than 60% off!

So unnecessarily necessary 

Will it bring me better skills?  What do you think?  (Helllllll no)
