Connor started a 5 day induction at his creche this week. On Monday it was for one hour, Tuesday 2 hours, Wednesday from 10-2, Thursday 10-4 and same on Friday. On the first day I stayed with him for 30 minutes and he cried and I left for 30 minutes. He was crying and hiccuping and shivering. I felt so bad. He napped on the walk home but would still sigh and hiccup every few minutes in his sleep. He was just used to having me with him all the time and probably got freaked out when I left. The next day I stayed the 30 minutes and he still cried but started walking around the room and playing with toys. Teachers said he cried for 30 minutes after I left and then was better. The next day he only cried for a few minutes. Today he cried but when I gave him to the teacher he stopped crying. I'm so glad he had already started to adjust back to daycare so well. I saw him on the playground yesterday and he was running around and talking and playing with the other kids. So proud of him.
I forgot to update last time that the shippers came last week Tuesday. I definitely packed way too much clothes. I'm not sure where I am going to put it all. When I look at the piles of clothes, it stresses me out. I tried organizing it yesterday but only made a small dent. I need more storage space.
Good news on the job front. I found out on Wednesday that my green card got approved and I am starting on Monday as scheduled. I am both excited and nervous. I went back to the GNIB office to get a new card and stamp on my passport as the one I had before did not allow me to work. I should not have jumped the gun and gotten the card before the green card. The guy was saying that he might have to charge me another 150€ for another card but then went to talk to his supervisor and they waived it since I just got my card less than two weeks ago. I was so grateful. When I went there wasn't even a line and the whole thing took only 45 minutes. The people at that office have always been very nice to me.
One contentious point is that I still don't have Internet. I am waiting for the equipment which they send by mail. Since there is no mail on the weekends here, it will be some time next week (hopefully). It's been so frustrating with no Internet at home. I am at the mall now typing. I will post a picture of the clock and skylight in here. Looks like a train station.
I am going to share a few pictures of Connor in Merrion Square, a picture of my Irish breakfast for 5€ at Killkenny department store on Nassau street. Love that place and price for breakfast., a picture with the view from Samuel Beckett bridge, look at that sky.
