I actually really truly felt like a father tonight.

I put Lily down a bit past 9, and stayed in the room with her for a while as she kept crying when I went to leave. She eventually fell asleep and I went out into the lounge room. About an hour later she started crying again, I went in and she was rolling around in her cot a bit with her dummy half in her mouth, trying to breathe. Her nose was completely blocked up.

She was crying fairly severely by this point, I went out and got the baby cold/flu drops and managed to give her some, although she was crying even more now because she was still mostly asleep and not sure what was going on.

I grabbed the baby saline sinus drops and picked her out of the cot, popped her down on my bed and attempted, mostly successfully, to give her a good squirt or two up each nostril. She was thrashing around quite a bit and crying a whole lot, understandably. Once I was done I was just lying next to her while she calmed down, just talking softly to her. I was lying on my side with my head on the pillow, and she actually rolled into me and curled up as she went to sleep.

I know it probably sounds silly, but I’m really proud of myself… I didn’t freak out or have to call mum for advice, I quickly worked out why she was crying and sorted it out, and she calmed down and fell back sleep with me holding her.

Dammit, I want to go home. I’m totally over today.

It’s not even any one particular thing that’s annoying me, I’m just sick of it all!

Grumble.

20 Abstract, -15 Islamic, -11 Ukiyo-e, 14 Cubist, -17 Impressionist and -26 Renaissance!

People that chose abstract art as their preferred artform tend to be visionsaries. They see things in the world around them and in people that others may miss because they look beyond what is visual only with the eye. They rely on their inner thoughts and feelings in dealing with the world around them instead of on what they are told they should think and feel. They feel freed from the tendancy to be bound by traditional thought and experiences. They look more toward their own ideas and experiences than what they are told by their religious upbringing or from scientific evidence. They tend to like to prove theories themselves instead of relying on the insight or ideas of others. They are not bound by common and mundane, but like to travel and have new experiences. They value intelligence, but they also enjoy a challenge. They can be rather argumentative when they are being forced or feel as if they are being forced to conform.

Well, that wasn’t a particularly auspicious start to the day… I went into the usual place I get my morning coffee from, Pie Face, and the COFFEE MACHINE WAS BROKEN. ARGH. So I had to make do with the sub-par coffee from the place across the road from work.

Pie Face make the most orgasmically awesome coffee, and I go in there so often that I don’t even get asked for what coffee I want… the girl that makes the coffees sees me and just starts making it. 😀

Then I got into work and there were already six calls in the queue (ideally there shouldn’t be any). Sigh.

On the bright side Lily had a solid eight hours sleep last night and didn’t stir at all until she woke up.

And man she had a late night today… she only went to sleep about fifteen minutes ago (it’s currently 11:35pm here for those of you not in Australia!). Apparently she didn’t sleep all day then had a two hour sleep from 5:30-7:30. Fingers crossed it means she’ll get a decent sleep anyway!
