G'day people.
A busy day today, it got going really fast.
First - the usual early morning phone call from SpEd. While on the phone to her, therapist rang my mobile. difficult child 3 asked her to call back in a few minutes. Then when I handed the phone over to difficult child 3 to talk to SpEd, the doorbell went. Avon lady. I was still in PJs. Fast change, throwing something on.
Then therapist rang back. Talked until 10.30, which is when I should have been leaving. But still not dressed properly. So a VERY fast change, then I left to collect mother in law (leaving difficult child 3 at home).
Eye doctor - we got there on time, parked right at the door. Love days like that! Yes, I need new glasses but I also might be able to get some new contact lenses (because I'm so short-sighted, the government pays) which I could wear while I wait for my specs to be made up with my old frames.
From there we went to the shoe/clothing store, found some boots and shirts for husband and a cheap t-shirt for me. From there it was the pie shop for lunch supplies for husband (his favourite winter lunch right now is a good Aussie meat pie warmed slowly in the oven). Then looking for shoe repairs - not much luck there. Then the supermarket for mother in law's groceries, then home.
I was tired, but whenever we go "to the mainland" we need to make good use of the effort and do as much as we can.
husband just let me know - there are problems with trains, he is going to be late home. He will have to meet us down t mother in law's for dinner.
Tomorrow I have to go out again, I have a meeting. But a friend is driving me.
I'm hoping to get to bed at a reasonable time tonight, but with husband being so late, it could be a difficult goal.
Enjoy your Friday, everyone. May it be as productive as mine was!
