setting the fire alarm off for the second time

 Konbanwa~


I wanted to get on with my evening and do my exercises but ended up dying on the toilet for half hour last night which felt so unfair. So i didnt finish my exercises and climb in the bath til 9:20pm!! well late but jack was playing with harvey and theo til 10pm anyway so i couldnt have gone to bed any earlier any how.

I was so tired last night, but for whatever reason it took me til 11pm to get to sleep then I had a rather disturbing and deep dream. I dreamed of two young east european guys that went round killing or hurting people with a hammer and a rusted blade. They got their mother involved in the murdering and thats when my alarm went off but took me a few seconds to wake up enough to shut it off whereas usually i hit it in the first second - im quick

I didnt die on toilet this morning which was nice, I was able to bring Oz in for 20mins and have breakfast with him, normally i sit inside and watch him in the garden but I felt like eating with him and I had gained time. We dropped him off and went school


School was quiet for me. But it was cold. It was a cold morning and school didnt have the heating on. It makes me feel unwell after a while and I was on the floor in a ball. Jack found a small fan heater so put that on in the office, made me tea and it did revive me. But it leaves me feeling drained for a while

Jack wasnt too stressed this morning which surprised me after yesterdays explosives - that he is still waiting to hear from. However...He needed to train the 2 trainee teacher on 'thermite' I havent ever personally seen thermite as I missed it in my first few months doing the job, the next year we went to do it we went into lock down so this year I wanted to see it. For those who dont know what the thermite is about its basically a fire work that makes a small molten metal sludge ball at the end.

so we went into an empty lab and got to work. It was me julia, jack and 2 trainees. Jack set it up and talked us through it. I can tell he loves it >.> such a nerd. One trainee asked "does this set the fire alarm off?" He said "no no it doesnt usually". He then stuck two unlit sparklers in the powder and said "once this is lit you need to move away, fast. It can happen and spark fast. Who wants to do it?" I shot my hand up saying "ill do it!!" then turned to see if the other 3 wanted a go but no one wanted to do it! Julia was like "youre fearless Jo" I said "nah im just naive" so I went to the chemicals. One trainee started to record on the science camera so we had a video version. I went to light the sparklers using camping stove burner thing (bunsens we not behaving) and then briskly walked away.

we watched the chemical reaction take place. It was like having a fire work in the classroom/lab. I can see why we had to be 4 metres away. It finished reacting and we walked over to go look at the molten metal it had left behind and thats when the fire alarm went off -_____- second time we have gone to record a practical and the alarm has gone off. So someone is coming out on thursday to look at them as they shouldnt keep going off like that. However it was a really nice sunny day so no one complained too much at us. 

I got the day done some how and then we went to pick Oz up, he was sat with truffle on the sofa with us ^^ mum and jack had a brew but I didnt want one. I forgot to have one when I came home too! >< 

I came home and Jack let Oz into the garden. I went to put Jack's pizza in the oven and then warm my stew through. We had dinner and Jack cleared up, I sat outside with Oz in the sun. Then just been on my laptop. Going to go sort stuff out for tomorrow then I will do my exercises. I plan on starting a new exercise challenge on friday. I was gonna change it anyway but choly ting brought a new video out yesterday which works well for but I havent actually seen how much is involved yet! might be crazy hard yet!

tomorrow is school, but also a special day for me and Oz

tomorrow is our 4 year anniversary!!!
