Son of the landlord came back. I was there but wouldn`t talk to him. He was full of nonsense when I met him afterwards. He has now 20 % more and want some stuff to be done. I agreed just to get him out of the house. He confirmed that the house isn`t registered on the RTB but wanted to tell us that this isn`t mandatory. He also gave his famous fairness speech he always does when he raises rent out of the legal cycle.
Well, Nero is checking something from a legal perspective. Otherwise, we can also register the house on the RTB ourselves/report the house for not being registered.

Hospital Tour
Nero had an appointment at the hospital in Dublin. That took ages. He went driving from here at 11:00 and returned at 18:30. To my surprise my son coped well with that. He waited patiently in the hospital for 2 1/2 hours and was also easy in the car. He actually enjoyed the trip. We went for a short walk to discover the hospital and he found a flower and sniffed on it. He than asked me for the name of the flower. "Poppy," I stated. He then was like "Wow, I resisted a poppy. It only made me a little sleepy". He is convinced that Oz must be close to Dublin when there are poppies in Dublin. He will come back to Dublin to find the Emerald City, he said.

The son of the landlord was at the door. He was stating that he has to raise the rent for time being. I don`t know how legal it is but I went along. It is just for the last couple of months. 30 % is still a bummer. I haven`t told Nero yet. The son also want to make an inspection. I had an anxiety attack. There is so much which needs to be fixed. I can`t deal with so much at once. I`m out.

We went to the Slieve of Gullion. On the way was a farmer who is setting his herd of cows from one meadow to the next. We waited and drove slowly behind them. At some point the farmer drove to the side and waited. So we also waited until his wife riding shotgun was waving with her stick. So we started to pass by. The cattle hadn`t finished yet and the wife hit the car with the stick while the farmer gave us abuse. Well, case of miscommunication left everyone involved pissed. Nothing could be done about it now but to learn to be careful about the perception of communication and actions.

I`ve tried out make up. It is extremely difficult to put on and hard to master. I was always bad at such things and require plenty of practice. Well, Nero is helping me for all it`s worth. He came also out in front of his sisters which are cool with it.

The Tain March was today arriving in town. Queen Maeve arrived on a chariot with the sounds of drums. They made this time the play better than usual and brought more details to the story.

The wee one was all dressed up and enjoyed his audience with the queen. The lady playing her is also a lovely woman. The boy found later a friend to play sword fight.

I got to booths for some make up and to drop the application for the customer reward card.

At work the system wasn`t working properly. Working any escalation was painful. Gladly, there weren`t that many calls. After work I have seen Day 8 of the Best of Super jr. tournament. Will Osprey vs Bandido delivered the best match of the year so far. After that there was some quality time with Nero.

I fell almost asleep at work. The tasks are only monotone and bear no challenge. The applications to other departments are left unanswered. My company is OK but my actual work is the most boring I have ever had. Since months I do the very same stuff which I did when I started out more than 8 years ago. I used to do analysis or developed concepts in between. I can`t grasp why the task had to change that much for me.
Technically, I would apply for a demotion if I apply for a previous role but those are much more interesting and challenging.

The new workout is fun. However, I have no idea how to track success with it. I can in theory make one heavy set and one light set and rest somewhere in between or also all heave or light. I`ll see in some weeks if it does the job.
Rest of the day was just admin work or an eye test for Nero. Gladly, his eyes didn`t got worst. It were just his glasses which weren`t adjusted correctly. I`m delighted for him.

Somehow my mouth feels a little numb. I don`t really know what it is . Slight burn on the underlip. Maybe I have a small inflammation. Let`s wait and see.
