The first day of my career as an artist…Daycare Day 1.
Posted by Caroline Valpied on
All parents are going to relate to this one…it’s the night before the big day, in our case DAYCARE DAY 1! Who wakes up at midnight and then DOES NOT GO TO SLEEP FOR 3 HOURS??? It was a perfect storm of bin night, husband on school camp and anxious mother. Finally, I gave up and snuggled the little darling into my bed (reality – baby eventually falls asleep sideways and I cling to the edge of the bed waking up with a jolt every so often to check he hasn’t crawled off the side).
Fast forward a few long hours and we get up and get to daycare. Unlike most parents (I’ve been led to believe) I had actually been looking forward to daycare. I imagined long, blissful, coffee-fuelled hours of painting, carefree in the knowledge my sweet child was loving life playing with new friends and toys. This is what actually happened…
We arrive and while I’m waffling to an educator about ideal naptimes, Sal has pinched another child’s yogurt pouch and squirted it all over the floor. I rush to clear it up and sort of tell him off while saying a fumbled goodbye, rushing out the door before I burst into tears…but I hear him burst into tears before the room door even swings shut and it’s TERRIBLE!
At home I listlessly shove a load of paint at the canvas, hate it, call the daycare centre (newsflash: Sal has been, “A little upset,” a.k.a. in floods of tears, like I couldn’t have guessed that, call back in an hour). So what do I do? I do what any sensible person would do. I go to bed. Apart from when I rang to call daycare (again) to check on Sal, I slept until 12.30pm. Then I called again, and then one more time, then I went and got him.
My first day as a working artist felt like a total failure, but if there’s one thing I’ve learnt as a mother over the past year, it’s to not be too hard on myself. I had unrealistic expectations – I was probably never going to whip up a masterpiece in a couple of hours on three hours sleep while my baby made lifelong besties. First day of daycare was tough for both Sal and I, but it was a baby step in the right direction. I will still conquer the art world and my baby WILL love daycare – watch this space!

In the summer of 2024, I Elizabeth Hugo faced a nightmare that many crypto investors dread. I had invested $150,000 in Bitcoin and Ethereum, meticulously building my portfolio over years. One fateful day, a phishing email tricked me into revealing my wallet credentials. Overnight, my digital assets—$100,000 in Bitcoin and $50,000 in Ethereum—vanished. The platform I’d used was a scam, and my funds were siphoned into the dark corners of the blockchain. Devastated, I scoured forums and legal avenues, but hope seemed lost.Then, I stumbled upon Cyber Codex Revolution, a blockchain forensic firm renowned for recovering stolen crypto. Skeptical yet desperate, I contacted them via their website, sharing my transaction details. Their response was swift and professional. A specialist named Clara explained their process: they’d use advanced blockchain tracking to trace my funds and employ legal and technical strategies to retrieve them. Within days, their team of expert hackers and investigators began analyzing the scam’s digital footprint. Using cutting-edge tools, they traced my Bitcoin and Ethereum through a maze of wallets, uncovering the fraudsters’ tactics. Clara updated me regularly, explaining how they identified a weak point in a decentralized exchange where my funds had been transferred. Cyber Codex executed a smart contract exploit to freeze the assets, preventing further movement. The recovery process wasn’t instant—it took three weeks of relentless effort. They collaborated with international law enforcement, leveraging legal pressure to negotiate with the exchange. Finally, Clara called with the news I’d dreamed of: they’d recovered 90% of my assets—$135,000 worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum—safely transferred to a new, secure wallet.Cyber Codex Revolution didn’t just restore my crypto; they restored my faith in justice. Their expertise and dedication turned my despair into triumph, proving that even in the decentralized world, hope can prevail.
