G'day for Tuesday.
Sharon/WO, sorry you couldn't sleep. The pork chops with mushrooms sounds delicious.
Sharon/LDM, sounds like you have a very busy weekend coming up.
It's been a huge day for me today. At school we got there early, I was needed on the interview panel. My shoulder has been very painful for the last couple of weeks and getting worse, especially when I have a lot of writing to do. A full day interviewing, then we had to begin to telephone the final referees for the top candidates. I typed instead of wrote, which made it not so bad, but it was still getting worse through the day. I had to get away and another panel member wanted a lift with me, but we managed to finish just in time so we left knowing we had got everything done but the final paperwork - stuff I still have to sign. I had my monthly doctor's appointment, was very glad of the chance to discuss my bad shoulder with her. She's ordered pictures but I don't know when... I am supposed to be back at the school tomorrow, but I looked at my diary and I have something on every day this week; with a bad shoulder, driving every day is not good. Last night's storms flooded our roads and we took two hours to get to the city today, driving the long way round. The only consolation - the rainforest looks beautiful in the morning mist with waterfalls along the side of the road. We know lyrebirds live there...
So tomorrow I will ring the school, offer to drop in on Friday to sign papers (or ask them to post them out) and instead of going all the way in there I'll choose to stay, if not at home, then not so far away. I will go out if I have to, to get my shoulder X-rayed. It's looking like I will need to get it injected. I hate it, but if it has to happen then the sooner the better. I also need to get the car tyre fixed (still driving on the spare). difficult child 3's exam today did NOT go well and I feel a bit guilty too, because I was so busy on the committee that I did not get him some lunch. Just too much happening, and he was trying to tune it all out until his exam and forgot to get something to eat when he had the chance. After the exam he chose to skip his drama class - a good thing, because I was still at the doctor's and husband (who thankfully was with me) could have taken difficult child 3 to drama, but it would have been more running around.
difficult child 3 wants a day off tomorrow too, just to unwind. I suggested we watch a movie together, but he said even that is too much organisation.
So we will see what tomorrow brings, in terms of what I can't get out of. If it doesn't rain tonight, the flood may stay down enough for me to get out the shorter way if I have to go out.
I have more busy days coming up over the next few weeks but hopefully none s bad as these last three weeks have been. I will cope better if/when I get the shoulder fixed - all the writing and typing in these staff meetings are making it a lot worse, but this is what I have to do. So the shoulder is a priority now. And rest. Lots of hot packs and bed. And maybe a movie - after last Sunday's disappointment in the stage show, I think I'll watch the movie of "Fame" tomorrow.
There is a meeting tonight I was supposed to be at. I am extra glad I quit two weeks ago!
Enjoy your Tuesday.
