Yesterday I was shadowing another nurse but locally this time. I get in the car to go, and… Nothing. Not even a click. The battery was fine and that can only mean the starter motor or starter solenoid or it’s connections had failed. I bump started it and cracked on. Joy…
So that’s number one.
The lady I was shadowing made me feel very welcome and genuinely cared about my experience with her. I learned so much more from her. So I go home, via McDonalds, having bump started the car again. I park up and try to start it again. It starts. I do this five times and not one issue. I despise intermittent faults…
I’m home well before my Princeling is due home, so I have a short nap on the sofa. I’d not been up this early in months. I’m woken by my Princeling asking if the bulb in the fridge freezer needed changing. Nope… Nothing. It’s dead… Really?!
So that’s number two…
My mother died a year ago today. I wasn’t particularly close to my mother, but all the same… It still hurts. Yet more death to face, yet more anniversaries. It’s kicked me off now. What a time for a breakdown. No pun intended. I don’t think I’ve had one of these ‘Trains’ for a while now. Their spikiness is somewhat blunted these days. It’s a nice day today after a cold spell. I’m playing the songs I listened to in the garden all summer. God knows why, I’m such a masochist like that.
So that’s number three…
They ALWAYS come in three’s…
Only they don’t…
Precious’ friend has tested positive for Covid. Precious is having a test as I type. I guess 2020 really isn’t done with us yet. Bastard… Given how the rest of this year went, the thought of Precious catching it is horrific. Totally triggered.
So that’s number four…
Some one has been tested positive at my Princelings college. We are told we don’t need to do anything but still… Triggered…
So that’s number five… So far… As My Lady used to say, “Living my best life!”.
Work husband gave me a hand getting the replacement fridge freezer. Thank the gods, I found a cheap and local second hand unit straight away. I remember clearly the stress My Lady and I would go through when one of our white goods failed. It’s amazing how dependant on these things we all are. I’m lucky. I can afford to just go and nab a second hand one just like that, but it wasn’t always that way. I can finally breath now it’s installed and working. That’s one dealt with.
Enough of today. It can go away now. I don’t like it very much…
