Follow up

Ok, to follow up from the last post that was cut short, what have I been up to?  Settling in/getting paperwork sorted telling the system that I'm back and that Séamus exists, I went to one Spanish meetup where only one other guy showed up and we mostly talked (in English) about his involvement in a weird new rightwing political party (I'm hoping that meetup becomes more popular), I have been looking out for venues where I can try to host my boardgames night, but so far I haven't found one, I've been trying to figure out meals I can cook that can be adapted for the veggies and meat eaters in the house, I've started reading again after not having read anything in ages (I'm reading a book about Haiti and how the international aid effort after the last big earthquake was completely wrongheaded and also for escapism The Black Prism by Brent Weeks), I've started going to a swimming class with Séamus on Wednesdays, writing penpal letters and what else... hmm I had a dream the other night that I was Deadpool.  I wasn't female Deadpool, I had my head on Deadpool's male body.   It was pretty cool.  

I'm planning on trying to grow a few herbs and vegetables once it gets a little warmer.  We are still getting frost most nights here.  It's a lot colder here than it was in London.  What a difference a couple of hundred miles make.

Today I posted a letter, got a house key cut for Mickey, got registered with a doctor and on the way back from the library (where I am again now) I will pick up a bit of shopping.

So I feel generally productive.  I have been starting to feel a bit useless having no job.  All the other women (well, there's only two of them really) I know here with babies work.  But they also have free childcare, which I don't/won't have.   I have no intention of doing a job that pays less than what childcare costs.  That would be pointless.

Now he's awake.  Time to leave library!
