G'day folks.
I just got back from choir practice - three new members tonight, including two pre-teen girls. So we had to teach just about everything, over again. Still, it's good for people to have a refresher course. I need to find a source of good (easy!) choral music. And the time to go looking through it...
A heck of a busy day today - difficult child 3 had an appointment with the research people at 1 pm. His new History teacher rang this morning (8 am!) and said she'd like to meet with us, so since we were going in to the researchers, I felt we may as well add in the school on the loop. But because of needing to get some work done first, we were late leaving. I was trying to get difficult child 3's completed work bundled up ready to hand in while we were there. We did OK - we had four worksheets to hand in, plus another he had almost finished. But we were so late that by the time we got there, we could only spare half an hour. As it was, we were there longer and were late getting away, making us 20 minutes late for the research team. But it worked out OK. There is one more test difficult child 3 needs to do for them and then we're done. They also gave us the code-breaking envelope which we opened once we got in the car, to discover if the treatment difficult child 3 got was the oxytocin, or the placebo. The researchers aren't allowed to know what it is until after it's all been done, and at this rate that will be maybe another year.
From there we headed back to our district to see mother in law at the hospital. I'd collected a few things for her before we left. I dropped them off plus her walking frame (which I'd put into my car when the ambulance took her away yesterday).
We'd hoped to drop some things off to difficult child 1 but we were running out of time. So we headed home, dropped difficult child 3 at tennis (half an hour late). I could have gone home and then driven back down - I just stayed put in the car and catnapped. If we hadn't been in a hurry to get back for tennis, I would have pulled over and catnapped on the road.
We got home from tennis with an hour for me to go before choir practice. I would have loved to opt out for tonight, but they depend on me. I'm glad I didn't though, the bloke who usually gives me a lift collected me at my door but his wife was driving - he's fresh out of hospital after a hernia repair, but he still insisted on coming to choir. So me saying, "I'm too tired tonight, fellas," would not have been valid.
Tomorrow morning husband & I see our pain specialist. Right afterwards, after I drop husband at the station to head for work, I have to go for a follow-up mammogram (the one I had last week is suspicious). Meanwhile a delivery that mother in law had organised, is due to happen tomorrow. So we're going to have to get difficult child 3 to take his schoolwork down to mother in law's place and wait there. I would have stayed out a bit longer and got some shopping done, but with all this happening it looks like I'll have to hurry home. So once again, I'll have to miss out on meeting up with difficult child 1.
Early night tonight, if possible.
It doesn't help that the weather is hot and humid.
Enjoy your Wednesday.
