First Day on the Job

L had a great time at the fabulous sweet sixteen party she went to last night. She had a friend over the hour before, they got dressed together and had fun doing the nails, hair and makeup. M dropped them off and said the Golf Club venue was stunning and had a wedding atmosphere, everyone all dressed up. The birthday girl wore red and the guests were told to wear black and white. She was totally surprised and very happy. The hall was tastefully decorated in black and white with hints of red here and there. There was a formal seating plan and there was a dinner dance with kid food (pizza, etc).

I just registered K for a piano exam this summer, setting goals! He had a classmate over to work on a project.

L loved her first day on the job today. She reports the time passing by so quickly and can't wait for her next session. I'm so proud of her. She managed to exchange some shifts and has her times arranged for next week at least. We filled in her first TD1 tax form! She wants to save at least a part of her money.

I went for a walk this evening, it was a bit cool but lovely and sunny. Lots of people out with their bikes and their dogs. It's pizza for dinner tonight.

Her first job

Feeling tired today, didn't go to the gym. I'll try for an afternoon walk instead. I'm going to force myself to make some meatballs, don't know where the day goes, it's already almost lunchtime.

L just landed her first paying job, and it starts this weekend, so it's not looking good for piano lessons. She'll likely at least take a break from it.
