Valentines Day
Some cute pictures to get the day started.
Its impossible to describe the weather at the moment. I got up this morning and I couldn’t see out the windows the fog was so dense. I LOVE these mornings, they remind me of home. Down the country. Freezing fog, quiet countryside and nothing else. Of course Dublin is far removed from quiet countryside, but out where I work, in the park, sometimes you can pretend you’re back down the country as its quiet and near the sea. Not quite a lake but it will do. The last few mornings I have skipped Luas/little bus for the walk, its a great way to start the day. Of course
I’m feeling a lot more energectic these days. Not sure if its to do with the vitamin B12 injections or I’ve been training more. I had a really great class on Monday. The mate J came along, and its always good fun as well as a good workout when she goes. The class flies by and I look less like Billy No mates, left with my hand up waiting for a partner. It was also good to catch up with her, although its kinda difficult to chat to he when she’s trying to perfect her roundhouse kick. We’re meeting up tonight sans gloves and focus mitts for some chats over bravas. Looking
forward to it.
We have an interview this evening with the Sun. The things we do for the commununity. On Monday Feb 18th, Marriage Equality is launching and its campaigning for same-sex relationships to have recognition and the same rights as hetrosexual couples. Its one of the biggest drives I’ve seen campaign wise and also all of the various organisations are on board from NLGFF to GLEN. Its unusual for everyone to be on the same page so I have a feeling it might make a difference. As a result of this, they have been looking for couples to represent us in the media and covering everything from parenting to immigration etc. We got the parenting side of things. Not what we are doing at
the moment with the clinic and everything, that’s private. Moreso about when we had the kid and how Mammy2 had no rights etc. Apparently our contact at Marriage Equality thinks its a great story. Lucky she didn’t have to live through it. So they are interviewing us and taking our pic. I said to Mammy2 knowing the Sun, it would be a picture of me beside Mam’s pic and a hanky whilst Mammy2 stands in the background clutching the kid’s birth cert. Not sure when its out, Saturday apparently. Also not sure who within our circle would see it. I guess this will test out the theory of who reads the Sun 
Mammy2 is starting to look elsewhere for a job. I didn’t think she’d last long where she is and the latest serious of incidents proves how bad a place it is. You’re not allowed talk at all it appears. I mean, you spend the best part of your day with these people and you can’t talk to them or laugh? The only sound acceptable is the keyboard. And the buzz of the generator required to keep all the drones working. Sheesh. Anyhew, she’s had a look around the there are a few journalism/media type jobs but she’s also checking out accounts as well. At this stage, we need 2 wages coming in until we get sorted with regards the clinic and costs.
The kid got accepted for her FAS course in Pharmacy no less. She has to get a form filled out by the social welfare and considering the heartbreak and tantrums her trying to sign on caused , I am hoping this is a bit more straightforward. One can only hope. And hopefully she likes the course, I think it would be great for her in terms of doing something during the day and getting some money. I don’t know how she’s survived so far. Well there is her long running tab with us That’s what parents are for apparently. The sister K thinks she applied for Pharmacy so she can get discounts on baby wipes. You know, she might be right!
We’re not celebrating Valetine’s day. Its no biggie for us and its way over commercialised. We get each other cards and that’s about it. Mammy2 is cooking a dinner as I have a meeting to talk about my latest project. As one of the guys I am meeting said, lovely way to spend Valentines
