Dennis and Laughlan come around to hang the door and finish the wall - we got the door on, but had to make a trip to Bunnings where we had to find a create way to get a small number of nails. Went to the Ferny Grove Aqua park with Dennis and Carolina - Maya slept in the car, then Carolina told us about AJ talking about strangling himself.

Drove to mum's with the boys - she gave them Easter eggs and took them to the beach while Tim and I setup her new TV, and then worked on moving rocks and laying grass in her backyard. Had to keep ducking a wasp that insisted on hovering around the narrow path to her shed. Fish and chips dinner at the beach with mum's retired friends - AJ had to do a big poo and I was worried about the food being called while I was with him.

Wrapped up Roadmap Finalization, and was so exhausted. But surprised myself to remember I'd organized beer at Sea Legs - so we drove there, and had a wind down for the week with Prags, Luke, Michelle, and Cass

Met Deborah and Luis who I'm talking at Product Talks with over a coffee.  Prepared the questions - I felt really great my knowledge was better on the topic than both of them. Walked with Luis back up to the train station.

Caught up with Ash E - prepared his roadmap for Q4, including the ISO change management work we need to do

Admitted to hospital for my colonoscopy. Had to wear weird fabric like underpants. Last thing I remember before going to sleep was being asked to shove my leg over more - woke up in recovery feeling like I'd had a nap. Was too cold to be released - so put a blanket and hoodie on.

Door arrived from Bunnings while I was at home working. Had to flush my bowels ready for surgery - spent the night violently shitting.

AJs 6th birthday - gave him Mario Odyssey and Luigi's Mansion. Then took him to Betty's Burgers and 1-up arcade with his cousins. They got him a plushie piranha plant - which he loved. Talked to Jas while heading to burgers - blew up about Laughy and the slowness on the door for the study. He called me back later to apologize

Drinks at the scratch with Em - noticed the Epic Pharmacy ladies there, took me back to memories of working for them.

Worked late to prepare for quarterly planning - Kai fell asleep in the afternoon and only woke up just before Julie got home. He didn't go to sleep to really late.

Stayed home to look after Kai - he was hot and watched TV all day. Slept when I got home form dropping Julie off - then slept again in the afternoon. Picked Julie and AJ off and went to the block, where it was finally cut after talking to Nigel and Baden to sort out the retaining wall.

Went to the block to see if it was cleared to start - but there was still rubbish everywhere. Drove around to Keperra to walk on the trails - made it up the path, but the thunder was getting louder so I turned around to avoid the storm.

Had a day at home feeling unwell in my stomach - checked out Julie's rear tyre and wheel after she clipped a gutter twice (front and back) on the same week. Pulled two small pieces of rubber off the side, but it was largely ok.

Got into difficult conversations with Jasneet and Kristina about how I was helping on the mobile app. Really felt bad coming home - had a beer.

Took the boys to see Dad and Tiz, the PC didn't work - but I found the cord had been plugged into the wrong point. Went to Hugo's 1st birthday, bumped into Steve from work - and snuck out in between to watch UFC.

Went to the cafe next to Myer at Chermside for Jasmine's birthday. Got an open ham and cheese sandwich for the boys, but it was weird and had a pumpkin spice on it.

Met Julie at the school for AJ's disco - AJ wouldn't dance, only Kai was prepared to go near the dance floor - and he insisted on sitting on the stage. They ran out of pizza - I took Kai to the park near my old building at QUT, then to the fish and chip shop where we met and ate dinner.

Jasmine's birthday - I recorded a voice message of Kai saying happy birthday to her.

First pricing and packaging session - it was really nice to be included. First call from the builder - Nigel - to tell me they'll cut the block on the 15th. It was awesome to hear that it's starting  Felt terrible by the night - cancelled the call with Moonshot and slept early
