Stacking

Apparently I dropped The Bo too inconveniently early at school yesterday, so to save myself another withering look I was permitted to drop him at the bus stop this morning rather than provide the doorstep chauffeur service. This will only serve to confuse my ability to get to the right station on my return commute, especially given that yesterday I got the wrong train home after forgetting where I’d parked my car.

Today was a rare day when I was not looking forward to work. Sometimes working across systems and supporting hundreds of people is just complex and gritty. So my heart was not filled with joy to start with, then the 20 strong queue for train tickets because the machine was broken did not improve matters!

Despite my best efforts at holding daily time I’ve also not had my hour lunch break this week either. I did however nip out to get food within my originally held hour, and the ”stacked drinks” that resulted made me laugh. On challenging days, little things keep you going. The Diet Coke was free and actually I left it in my office for the next hard day. The ribena (the significance of drinking which was mentioned in our marriage ceremony) was left over from yesterday but the caffeine in the coffee hit the spot. Sorry it’s not a more exciting blip but thus far it does summarise the best part of the day!

I did type some notes up while making a more concerted effort with Folkie’s blip playlist today, and noted that her beloved Decemberists are not unlike They Might Be Giants, a group with whom I’m much more familiar and who have woven many a thread through my life. Funny the way things take you back rpund familiar paths…
