So last week I had plans for today. Bit by sicky bit they fell apart. And then they were back. And then finally, today, around 1pm they fell to pieces. Unable to be put back together. Today, anyway. Sound a bit vauge for you..? Well. Here goes.
I had planned to meet Hayley for a catch up and we were tossing around ideas for when. And then, I had no job. We were on. A trip {on her behalf} was scheduled and we were off. Soon, Dan and her girls were to join us for some holiday fun. So you couldn’t have a hot parks mum plus one random unemployed chick gathering without Zoe. She was tentative. But in. We were set.
And then we weren’t. Team Hello Owl went down. Sick. So no travel for them. Then Zoe, sorry, no kids to occupy hers, she was out. And finally Hayley got called in to learn her tasks at an upcoming job. Over and out. All plans crashed and burnt. Booo.
BUT. Then I received an email from Tanya. She’d be in the area. Like really IN THE AREA and did I want to catch up. Heck yes I did. We made plans, exchanged numbers and set about getting excited. Monday dawned and I woke up late {after staying up to watch the Wimbledon final). I wnet about my day, attempting to get some jobs wrapped up so I could get on with billing for them….
Soon it was midday and I was in my pj’s, feral unwashed hair and desperately stealing peeks at a new book I had purchased the night before on iBooks. I bit the bullet, washed my hair, got changed out of my pj’s and put my phone in the best service area while I read. Soon Tanya texted me to say they were on their way to the park.
Yes. Go time. I asked if she would like a coffee, grabbed my phone and keys and headed out to the garage. Got in my car, hit the door remote and the door lifted. And directly behind me was my sister’s car. Bugger. So I turned off the car, pressed the button on the remote, gathered my stuff and went back into the house. I’d take her car.
And I searched for the key, everywhere. I looked all over the house. Soon I called Tanya and said, you’re not going to believe this but I am parked in in my own garage. I can’t come. Sorry. This sucks. Etc etc. We made plans to try again tomorrow and I went and changed into some fresh pj’s. And pouted. And tweeted. And spent the rest of the day reading…
What is that saying about best laid plans turning to poo..?
Well that was me.
Today!
