the next generation
My sister's son decided to grace the world with his presence after a marathon labour on Tuesday. He is called Lachlan, he is quite sizeable, and he is lovely. I mean, most babies look very similar but Lachlan is streaks ahead because he didn't get too squashed. Seumas and I visited them on Thursday and I got a hold! Yay! He has two Aunt Rachels so I have dubbed myself Auntie Mac (apparently Auntie Little had too many implications on the other Rachel) and Seumas is Uncle Shimmy and I am in awe of how cool a mum my sister is already! She is laid-back but no-nonsense at the same time, a good combination. :)
A week of much driving and Being Out and not much sleep. For some reason I kept waking up every hour for six nights in a row. I got to catch up with Becky, and went to see Matisyahu at the Metro with Seumas and some friends from East Lindfield (I like Matisyahu himself; I don't like it when his back-up band riffs for 20 minutes). Very briefly saw some friends from my old workplace (not long enough as I had to leave at the too-early hour of 9.30) and drove to Katoomba yesterday to talk to some folk about getting the application process for Mongolia started.
Today I did chores and snacked. It was supposed to get hot but my scepticism on the matter was rewarded and it did not. Also Coles have stopped selling our soy milk so I tried shopping at Woolies. Always hard to find things in an unfamiliar supermarket layout. Not very happy with it but I do concede they had more exotic vegetables.
Doing much meal planning for Engage. It's hard to please everyone, some people in particular. I wish I could just say 'eat it or go hungry' but I just worry about people too much to do so. :p
