My day so far, let me show you it
Apr. 22nd, 2008 12:29 pmUgh. The baby did her normal thing of waking up at 05:15 (thank you, darling) and although I tried to give her toys to occupy her in her crib while I went back to sleep, she wasn't having it. So I dragged myself up, got dressed, made coffee and she promptly fell asleep on the sofa for the next two hours.
THEN! I was all 'cool, beautiful day, I will take her to the supermarket and we will do a lesiurly shop, come back, have some lunch, drop her off at nursey at 13:00 and then go to the gym,' etc. Which was going swimmingly until I remembered that it is Tuesday and she goes to nursery at noon on Tuesday. Cue frantic grabbing of Stuff, mad drive to the supermarket, me forgetting most of what I went in for, Evie adding insult to injury by falling asleep again in the car on the way back...she was only ten minutes late, thankfully.
THEN! I actually remembered the money I would need to top up this weird pre-paid Visa thing I have. It's my first time using it and I want to enter the ballot for the 2009 London Marathon, which could close at any moment. So I have the right money. I come home. I want to check the instructions one more time before going to the shop to top up the card...and then notice that it only tops up in denominations of £10, and I only have £25 on me. BAH! So now...I have to go and get another £10...or do what I should have done originally and borrow my mother's credit card. Of course, she wasn't in when I called so I will have to try her later and the ballot will probably be closed by then.
And a spam message about someones huge rod has just broken gmail. What.
So now it is now. One wonders what else I can mess up today. Ho hum. It's gorgeous out anyway so nothing seems as bad. 15 degrees! Practically a heatwave!
