Did I mention we were undertaking renovations? We are now at almost 2 weeks without a bathroom. Well, I exaggerate as we have a humble powder room in the basement. Trekking up and down the stairs for my nine million midnight pee breaks isn't ideal but it's better than having to knock on the neighbour's door. Showering at work is getting kind of old. Plus, half the time I'm so busy I can't do it in the morning and then before I know it, it's time to dash out the door for daycare. So sponge baths are my friend. I am really, really hoping to have a bath in the new tub this weekend, but that may be slightly ambitious.

Today was a good work day. I think I spoke to three separate clients which was pretty fun. I like being on the front lines, even though it's more stressful than knowing everything you say/do will be vetted. It's funny, when I was volunteering at law clinics, I thought I didn't want to do criminal because it was just so aggravating to see the situations people got themselves into. None of it was Law & Order suspense and drama. It was just "Yeah, I smashed the store window with a bottle" or "I threw rocks at that guy's car."

But maybe all law has an element of that. Of course, many people do find themselves in truly unfortunate situations through no fault of their own, and those are the cases where it's so rewarding to help out. But in a lot of situations you just want to say: "NO! You can't do that! Oh, you did already? Um, well, yes, they can sue you for that."
