Busy Busy

My car is due for a service, today. BUT, because of scheduling issues and Beloved's workload being THE MOST IMPORTANT THING... it gets convoluted.

1. Beloved drives my car into the place to get it fixed
2. Beloved catches usual lift to work
3. I do the brat run as almost normal, with a borrowed car that I personally hate to drive.
4. I drive to the place (with lappy on board)
5. I babysit my car's fixing process
6. I leave despised car in a parking space with the key in a pre-arranged place
7. I drive my car once it's fixed and paid for¹
8. Beloved picks up despised car on the way home and drives it home at leisure

All this because Beloved doesn't have the time to do a morning brat run. And, because Beloved is not a morning person, I not only have to chase my little darlings into being ready on time, but also chase my Beloved into being ready on time.

So today's Instant may arrive on the networks at an interesting time.

Also, I have a functioning Wordpress account, now. Expect advertising and writers' rants.

Onwards to the chase!

ADDENDUM

Turns out my wheels need rotating as well, so my car is going to be at the repairs shop ALL FUCKING DAY. So Beloved is picking up my car in the evening and I've upgraded to the nicer Jeep which can at least tune into my phone music instead of bombarding me with radio inanity. And I'm staying home where I can stick to my schedule.

So today is an interesting schedule. I have a plumber coming at an unspecified time. I have the cleaners coming. Both will want paying and I only have the cash for one of those people and I worry about that sort of thing.

Fortunately there are ATMs, and I definitely used the Suncorp account this morning. Huzzah. So after a short school run, I now have enough money for everyone including myself.

I also found out that the account I can access

Okay, so today is busy and I only have myself to blame. I had scheduled an appointment for Chaos to get her shrinky paperwork in order for yesterday afternoon, but because of a sick Mayhem, I completely forgot about it.

Derp.

Now I have one this morning, but with squeaking room to actually get to the shrink on time. AND I have paperwork to hand in to

Our dryer is officially dead on a day when we need it the most, what with the sky deciding that today is a lovely day to frell up my plans to actually slot in some firkin laundry before the day really gets hot.

For the record, it's already 25C (78F) at half-past six in the morning, and humid with it. Bleh. And it only promises to get hotter and muggier throughout the remains of the day.

This is the sort of weather
