And today was one of those days! Last night we babysat the grandchildren and arrived home quite late after which I updated my blog then I laid out my gym gear for the morning and packed my bag for running. The alarm went this morning and I just could not drag myself out of bed. Okay, forget the gym, after all I'll still be running track this evening so should be nice and fresh!! Hmmm - the best laid plans........ Next thing I know Mr B is leaving before me (unheard of occurrence), saying "see you at brekkie"! Oopsy daisy - forgot it's Thursday - brekkie with CJ. Speed up the work day process, grab running bag and arrive for brekkie 15mins before due at office - rats! Still I did spend 20mins enjoying brekkie and coffee before the start of a totally stressful day full of disasters work-related!
At the end of the day I realised I still needed to print off a flier to take to track - printer trouble - change to another printer - no luck. Change to colour printer - waste of ink, but it worked! Great, nobody left in office, quickly change for track, set alarm very very gently as it is sooo sensitive and I keep receiving calls from Security when people set it off by mistake. Done! Rush to car - may still make it for 3000m if I hurry. Quickly put car in reverse and back out straight into pole - crunch - can't move either way - finally move slightly forward out of way of pole. Gingerly survey damage - damn - what a mess! I managed to rip off passenger wing mirror and make a nasty mess of the passenger door - aaaaaaaah - my poor little car! I promptly burst into tears and rang Mr B who was surprisingly sympathetic. As a result of all this I did not end up going to track, instead I collected Mr B from his office and drove home without even delivering the fliers! Tomorrow starts the long process of having my car repaired and no doubt the inconvenience of being without a car. I think I'm stressed!! I also think I should have stayed in bed this morning. Can I start the day again please???

No, I am not going to let you have Thursday 18 January double-oh-seven again.
ReplyDeleteOh Strewth, sorry to hear this happened to your car. Now time to run around everywhere in Canberra?
ReplyDeleteIt will get better. See what happens when you mention going to track! Take it easy - the car is able to be fixed and at least you weren't hurt.
ReplyDeleteOuch !!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you weren't hurt.
Your poor little car!! That's sad. Are you able to get to Molonglo in the morning?
