Busy, but good. Oldest got a couple of offers for degree places next year, so she now has some solid choices. Got a callback for the one she really wants, so she’s happy.
All the (4) kids were part of a Stagecoach production last night - I swear someone was cutting onions in the theatre!! Got home late and lost an hour overnight so was in a rush to get youngest to a birthday party.
Cleaned out my car, after getting a £90 quote to have someone do it. I wasn’t even trying to negotiate but I spontaneously started to laugh and said “if that’s where we’re starting, we are wasting each others’ time” and then left. £90?!?! I mean, yes, kid cars get rather mucky, but come the f*** on! I was expecting £30. Took me a couple of hours and now it’s as good as new. I would have accepted £15/hour but £45/hour is a good wage so I was happy about that.
Landed a new job back at my old company (I joined a scale up turnaround and it didn’t turn-around, so lost my job and had to go looking again). It’s not 110% what I wanted to do - going back - but in this economy I know I must be grateful to have work at all.
Also, my most rage-inducing pot hole in town has FINALLY been fixed. Only took the council 4 months. So that’s a celebration if nothing else.
