So, yesterday was mostly AARRGGH NOT ENOUGH TIME AARGGGHH. Today is even more so. Various people in work decided they needed Stuff Urgently. And of course none of it was simple, easy Stuff. Oh No. Also mid preparing for big demo/training session on new mapping systems tomorrow. And of course today, NOTHING IS WORKING.

But yesterday, after finally escaping work, got to stables, rushed about doing stuff there, had about 25 minutes of riding, then after quick change in car (haven't done that in a while), dashed off to hosptial to see the mother, due to bizarrely early end of visiting (8 o'bloodyclock). Have list of things to procure for her today, tho not quite as bizarre as the list of things from home to fetch the sister got. Including hair drier (?!?).
Anyway, blood tests don't seem to be back yet (she was a bit unclear on this) but the dr said she'll probably be in for at least a couple of weeks. Meh.

So. This morning, plan was get up early, get in early, get lots done, get the various Purchases, leave early, do horse, get to hosptial.

Wake at 4am. stay wide awake til about 7.30. Fall ASLEEEP. Alarm goes off. hit snooze. Repeatedly.
Aim for 8.50 train (yes, this does count as 'going in early for me' ;p). Wake up at 8.50. oops. Think oh well, will drive in, still be in just after 9. Wake up at 9. Think 'better get up noZZZZZZZ'
Have bizarre dream about getting up, running for next train, getting there to discover have no shoes on, run round town trying to buy shoes, but favourite shoe shop has turned into massive revolving (wtf?) indian resturant, go to v. posh shoe shop in wet socks as it is now raining. Meet aunt and cousin buying wedding shoes. Am looked at Askance by posh shoe shop employees. Hear mutterings about orchestra. Go upstairs to find more shoes. Am passed by various Gentlemen in Various stages of undress. Open door to discover full Naked Orchestra playing.
Wake up.
Discover it is now HALF PAST NINE OH FUCK (also, naked orchestra? wtf?). Flee to car, making v. sure I have shoes on. get to work, drive about for 20 mins to find parking space. Finally do, get in, try to sort out Urgently Needed map things for boss that are all set up and just need printing.
Map programme refuses to open. Then half opens and crashes. Spend half an hour on phone with map IT guy, finally get it working just as boss phones and says 'where is map plz?'
Get that done, get tea and scone, take break to write this. PHEW. Now just have to sort presentation stuff...
Also have just remembered have facial booked for lunchtime which I do v. much want to have (because i think right now I need a bit of relaxing) but if i Do not sure when i get to buy the stuff for mum. Hmm.


In the midst of all this are cheering emails from thipe, including this, which seems to be a Valentine designed specifically for malvino.
So, slightly belatedly (and so this post isn't entirely a stressy whinge), here it is...




he even has the tash!



This week is not shaping up to be a good one.

Notice how she is getting on the right side of the shell. THE WRONG SIDE.

(also... naked orchestra...?)

maybe it's different for turtles?

and yeah, naked orchestra. They were actually called The Naked Orchestra (not sure how I knew about the upper case, but that's dreams for you...).

I'm sure it means something. Probably 'you need help'.
