[Dolmen 2.0]

Thanks guys, The wife has gone into a unique setting.

If my baby girls' up Mrs Dolmen can't sleep, regardess of how obviously sleepy wife is, regardless if baby girl's away from her or not. Both are still under observation because the lil' one had to take the second exit option but Mrs Dolmen hasn't let that phase her at all.

Women are scary tough. I get to sleep a bit as I'm not allowed to stay in with the ladies while they're kept in the maternity ward but I guess I can't sleep either as I'm up babbling to you guys.

S'pose I should try harder at this sleep thing...

[Morgoth]

Congrats Dolmen

I'm going to our family cabin this week end. Take the day of tomorrow to drive the 5 hours there. It's an isolated log cabin in a small valley deep into the mountains towards the Swedish border. Nothing there but some sheep, deer and the occasional bear.

I'll bring the new Stephenson book, an excellent bottle of wine I've been saving and some quality beer. I'll by fresh produce at the closest market, make excellent meals and do long walks in the mountains. I'll also be bringing a lady, which makes the trip the first time I'll be doing something like this with a girl who is not my ex. I'm a little anxious, for obvious reasons I would think, but mostly happy that this is something I'm at all capable of doing.

Congratulations.
Now sleep...

Too late, he doesn't get to sleep again for like 2 years. Congrats Dolmen!

Don't let them scare you, every child is different. My son slept through the night from 3 weeks.


Also, congrats!

Ha. So did mine.
At least my first did....

Serious, congrats man.
It's the shit.

Hey congratulations, Dolmen!

As for me, going out and getting a little work done and interacting with people away from home has helped a lot. I feel a lot lighter now.

I am also really grateful for this forum where I can express these things

[Binder of Demons]

Might have got a job working on a (very) small budget feature length film completely out of the blue (not sure if it's for tv or wider release). I'll basically be a helper doing bits and pieces like delivering scripts, or finding props, and things like that.

But considering my video internship ended about 2 weeks ago, and I was wondering what the hell i'd be doing until July (when I'll be filming a childrens choir), it's a big surprise.

Fingers crossed it works out. I head in to their production office in the morning to see what the actual story is, and if i get through friday, saturday and sunday, then I should have a good 5 weeks of employment to look forward to. And a major opportunity to network. Certainly beats rushing around trying to help my old classmates do no-budget short films with minimal equipment.

I just received a progress report from one of my sponsor kids. Her name is Enkhjin and she is from Mongolia. She has just finished kindergarten and is excited about starting year 1. She even filled out the card all by herself.

I love getting letters from my sponsor kids.

I'll bring the new Stephenson book, an excellent bottle of wine I've been saving and some quality beer. I'll by fresh produce at the closest market, make excellent meals and do long walks in the mountains. I'll also be bringing a lady, which makes the trip the first time I'll be doing something like this with a girl who is not my ex. I'm a little anxious, for obvious reasons I would think, but mostly happy that this is something I'm at all capable of doing.

Next time your up there you have to bring Annilation by VanderMeer, sounds like a excellent setting!

Hah! I've already read it, but I wonder if I'd still be scared by it. The setting would certainly be fitting.

The trip was a great success by the by. Great weather, great food, great... other stuff. I hope it will be repeated.

[Messremb]

I've had a nicely productive day today - brewed up a new batch of beer this morning that is sat behind me bubbling happily then plastered the final 2 walls of the spare room and took delivery of new shower enclosure (although found that fitting it is going to need a lot more work than anticipated.) Now I just have a night shift at work to make it through...

[Illuyankas]

Now the details are finalised, I can follow up on my previous vague statement - my mum has been terminally ill from total renal failure, on the transplant list for three years and on dialysis for about 6 months, and now thanks to a good friend of hers donating a kidney to person A in town A, person A's friend donating a kidney to person B in city B, and person B's friend donating a kidney to person C around place C, person C's friend can donate a kidney to my mum! So not only is she now not going to die fairly soon, but no one else had to for it to happen!

Now we just have to wait for the operation tomorrow and it should all be fine.

OK firstly my sympathies for what your family must have endured these past years. And my best wishes for the operation. Hope your mother returns to health and happiness

[worry]

Yah bigtime.

[Tiste Simeon]

Indeed.

[worry]

After the surgery tell her they accidentally installed a prostate instead. When she looks surprised you shout "Just kidney-ing!"
