And here I am this morning... Tada!

Still going out. Just going to slap my glasses and hat on and look glamorous AF! Who needs to see anyway?

Oh no Tami!!!

Definitely get some antihistamines into you.  And keep on top of them.  No trouble breathing, I hope?

Feel better Tami.

Day is already off to a *bleep*ing hoot. Today is my day in London with my project team. Washed my hair before bed so my fringe is mental this morning. But what’s that? My straightener broke. Was a pain to get to the plug because of where it’s located. Tried it on a new plug and it’s dead as a door nail. Pulled my fringe back and moved on...
...got to the train station and had to park practically in France with how far away it was. Run to get my ticket, got through the barrier, get to the train and they blow the *bleep*ing whistle....it pulls away in front of my face. I was meant to be there before 9. I now won’t even be in London until just after 9 and still have to walk to my building. I probably shouldn’t stop for a coffee either because I’m already late but if I don’t somebody might be murdered..... first world problems but I just want to go back to sleep.

It's a sign.  Just turn around and go home!

Our rental is costing us this month.  Boiler problem will be £600 to fix and the washer/dryer combo packed it in.  Great timing right before we leave for holiday...   ::)

But on the bright side, once they're fixed, you know they won't let you down for a good long time!  :)

Hopefully!

But these things come in threes.... this is only 2!   ;D

It's hard to coordinate all this stuff with the tenant though.  I'm just monkey in the middle.

Tami, you looked great in that sunhat.  Reminded me of my French relatives at a wedding.  Very stylish.

I've taken all the Benadryl I brought with me so we are going to the Farmacia this morning. 

Then we will be out in the car for the rest of the day. 

Not painful, No trouble breathing. Just annoying AF!

I sincerely wish I could! I'll now probably end up leaving later as I was 25 minutes later than intended getting in so that will be extra fun for sure...



Ohh Tami! I hope it all clears up quickly! :(

Thirsty Wednesday?  That's a thing, right?

If I could slip some Kahlua in my coffee as we speak, I can promise you I would have. That's how stressful my morning has been (was late for a call and it's just the day of never ending back to backs....and I can't really pee unless somebody can let me back in to the secure area!)


The positive thing though is that it's not my straightener that's the problem, we had had a power cut! So less money I need to spend :)

I just spent the first hour of my morning ordering a new washing machine for the rental.  Finally found somewhere that can deliver and install tomorrow.  Placed the order.  Looked at it.  I SET IT UP FOR MY HOUSE AND NOT THE RENTAL.  UGH.  Had to call, wait a month for a human.  But he was able to cancel everything so I could reorder and - you know - send it to the right house...   ::)

It's called Quba.  I just looked and it's still there.  If it's still there in another hour I'll go check it out.  I'm hopeful that it's Cuban food.  That would be amazing!
