"Best laid plans" huh!
No school trip today so we were going to find tiles for the kitchen - well, that was the plan.
However ....................
After a hectic (for me) day yesterday
[quote]What did you do JJ?[/quote]
Funny you should ask, Up early for a Sunday to return number 2 grandson to his mum as number 1 grandson playing football ; left Mike behind to cheer him on which meant I had to drive Ooh err.
Right JJ adjust seat - check
Adjust mirror - check
Adjust seatbelt - check
Adjust wing mirrors ...................................I know there's a knob (no rude jokes please) somewhere. O well, can see Ok if I stretch my neck and - off we go.
This is only the third time I have driven this car so it was nerve racking. Why do they put 2nd & 4th gear right next to each other? Instead of slowing down gently I virtually ground to a halt when negotiating roundabouts!
After putting everything in the slow oven it’s off to the supermarket for a few things.
Right, where is reverse? Slowly up the drive onto the road - I DID IT!! Wow.
An hour later return home and get Mike his lunch and then prepare the veg for the evening and a nice fresh fruit salad.
Take the meat out of the oven - smells fab and make the cauliflower cheese.
Right, time for a break - where's my laptop?
4.30 - back to kitchen to make the pudding, all goes quite smoothly except too much boiling water in the saucepan - burn my fingers & drop the pudding into the pan. Great!
Heat the chicken casserole & put back in the slow oven then cook the veg. So far so good. Family turn up 10 minutes early & starving so skates on – get serving JJ.
Umm, remember that pan of boiling water? Yes, still boiling & still too full. Can I get the pudding basin out? Can I hell! After using 3 tea towels as well as the oven gloves and with very red finger tips I end up draining the water over the sink & praying it doesn’t go in the pudding.
A glass of red appears on the breakfast bar & disappears down my neck pronto.
Eventually dish up and watch the people I love enjoy their dinner. Think I enjoyed mine too but that bottle of Merlot was going down a treat.
So, that was yesterday– nothing much out of the ordinary you might think but for me & my depression the stress was just too much. Consequently, we did not go tile hunting today – I went for a nap at 2p.m.and I’m still in bed!!
Tomorrow??? That just might be the day we get our kitchen tiles ………………….. Or not, as the case might be.
JJ
Hope you got your kitchen tiles JJ. After a day like that I would have finished off the whole bottle ;) Lovely post, you write it so well.
ReplyDeletep.s. I'm still in bed at 11.08 a.m., enjoying being lazy and feeling a bit guilty I'm doing it with no excuses. Going for the coffee now though.
