Inconvenient Annoyances

Our new, expensive to us, duvet cover is practically ruined. DH washed it without reading the instructions. It's on our Next account and we are still paying for it, technically. I was about to get the curtains to match it.  Just got a new bedside table and some small decorations and the room was going to look so good once the weather cooled off enough to put the good bedding back on. 

:/

How annoying

I totally forgot I had a driving lesson this morning, instructor turned up a 6:45 and I was still asleep He was nice about it, but because I was way too sleepy and unshowered to go on my lesson, I lost £50 (he requires 24 hours notice for cancellations).

Dammit, I really don't have £50 to spare, I'm going to have to stop driving soon because it's costing £200 a month :/

I was going to ask where do you live that it costs 50.00 per lesson, but then I saw London.  I pay 25.00, which I am pretty happy about.

I had a lesson today.  I need to STOP CROSSING MY HANDS!  Ahhhhhh.

2 hour lesson for £25? What magic is this?! I was really pleased with £50 from instructor, also he picks me up both from home and work depending on what I'm up to which are around 10 miles apart

At the moment he picks me up from home and we drive to work through London rush hour traffic, which is scary stressful but I'm learning loads (when I don't sleep through it!) and he drops me at work at 9am.

Someone was late. AGAIN. So now everything we needed to do today is set back. Grrrr.

HA!  That makes more sense 25 for a 1 hour lesson.  I thought 50 seemed really pricey. 

My poor guy has to go all over hell and creation to pick me up from home/work/house sitting.

Guess that is why I am paying him though.

10 month old computer crapped out yesterday.  Not impressed!

Went to the Apple store today and it is official.  The hard drive is dunzo.  Luckily I learned my lesson the first time I had a computer crash 5 years ago, and I've been backing everything up.

Should have a new hard drive (FREE OF CHARGE  ) by next week.

However, I am now forced to at the Uni library at 8:30 PM doing work, and then have to kick it old school when I get home.  No BBC iPlayer for me.

That is el stinko. 

Mine is zero motivation to study, clean or iron. What a fun day I have in order.....

In addition to the duvet thing, I also ordered the wrong shade of wood for the bedside table and didn't notice until it was already put together and in the room for most of the day. It's not that noticeable at first, obviously, but still... grrr.

People who get angry over the teenist tiniest un-biggest deal thing.  Sigh. 

Work toilets just switched to TP that you only get one square at a time. SINGLE PLY.

Yeap, we have those.  Really annoying. But you get used to it.   

I felt really crappy last night and couldn't sleep until later than normal.  Cat woke me up at usual time to feed him.  I ignored him for a while, then got up, took care of some things, and fed him.  He's on a diet so he only gets 3/4 of a can for meals.  I take the spare quarter and stick it in an old ricotta dish and serve it with the next meal when I put half a can in the ricotta dish.  I was so tired I forgot the ricotta dish, uncovered on the counter.  I tried to go back to sleep and an hour or so of reading, I got up, saw the dish, and my immediate thought was to wonder if it would be any good for his next meal if I stuck it in the fridge then.  While I was trying to figure out how long it had been out, I looked in the dish, and it was of course, empty.

So, after not jumping on counters for years, my cat jumped up and ate the rest of his can of food.  I guess I am just glad it wasn't a meal when there was a half a can or more in the dish.  So I try to find him, and he was hiding under the bed and wouldn't come out.  He puked in the living room because he wasn't used to that much food, and his hair was everywhere.  I couldn't coax him out to brush him (he knew he shouldn't have been on the counter or eaten the food) or so I could shut the bedroom door (if he stays in there when my husband is in there, he drives him nuts). I am trying to do all this without waking my husband. When he finally came out he was all guilty like a little dog rather than a cat.  He cheered up after brushing, and now isn't bugging me for more food (for once).  So i guess that's the silver lining to all this.

Like LA, I had a horrible night's sleep, after feeling somewhat unwell yesterday.  I woke up feeling like I had been beat up and I am so overtired I can barely think.  I am also constantly on the verge of tears.  I just teared up over a radio advert!!!  I feel like an overtired toddler.

We changed the dog's food recently.  So as not to go into detail, I will simply say that this change has had adverse effects on the air quality in the house. 

Waiting for 30 minutes for my prescription at the pharmacy only to find out they needed a pre-auth. And that can take days. So I left with no prescrip and now have to either go back to the city to pick it up or have it faxed to a pharmacy that is closer.

Blah.
