Such a great day! My Actifit Report Card: March 8 2026

It seems like I'm having a streak of good days. Full of fun, with family and friends. I feel contained, hold, loved. And a bit scared. These good days usually come before a storm. And a storm is brewing indeed.

Lily and I went to a birthday party of a friend of hers. After being weirdly between hot and cold yesterday evening and all night, she woke up fine and in the best mood. Not me. I was tired. As always as a parent - the kid is fine and full of energy after keeping you awake all night. That's how it works.

The birthday was on a farm around 30min from our place. The parents are long time friends and supply us with flour for around 10 years now. The birthday girly, just like many of her class, had been sick during carnival and never got the chance to play it, meaning getting soaking wet. And a birthday is a chance to remedy that.

The kids had a blast. And so did we parents. Almost half of the families from the school were there, and we sat and chatted about everything, did a walk around the farm to look at all the beautiful endemic plants that they had growing.

I had plenty of motives to play with my cellphone camera. Old farms are just the best. Especially the plants! So many flowers!

Afterwards we went for BBQ with my brother, Ellie, her sister and her daughter at a friend's place. Lily was already very exhausted and just wanted to hang on the couch and listen to stories. That was fine.

When she finally was in bed, the story read and we were snuggling, she started talking. It was a difficult situation. I realized that there's quite a bit of manipulation from her mother's side. Might be on purpose or not, but it's affecting Lily's attitude towards her school and friends. Which is incredibly sad for me. I tried my best to explain to Lily that there are always many sides to each story, and that her school, teacher and friends are great. I hope my words stuck. It would be a shame for her to lose all that again just to please her mom.

But there's not much I can do. The summary of her psychological evaluation will get to me on Wednesday. I have another appointment with my psychologist on Tuesday. I hope I'll figure out a way.
