They say things comes in threes, mine has been 2 X 3. So far.
1. Mothers day's fast approaching, we had a mini argument about it this morning before P left for the office, it was left unsettled.
2. I got into work and couldn't access my blogger account, entering the password caused IE to crash, then my bank account did the same but didn't even wait for the password, just loading the screen crashed it. I reluctantly sought P's help, re-started the machine - no good, ran a virus scan - nothing, Microsoft's error reporting was useless as ever. P couldn't solve it so he downloaded Google Chrome for me to see if that worked. Fine no problem and a lot faster then IE, so that's it IE is in quarantine for now and probably forever.
3. Then I reminded P that I'd be popping over to a friend's tonight just for a while, as it's her birthday, so we'd be a bit later than usual going out (we try to eat out alternate Wednesdays, it used to be weekly but we've cut down) but he said we weren't going because he's booked a meal for mothers day. Hmmph! so on top of the words we had earlier I'm expected to forgo my hard-worked-for little treat for the dubious pleasure of entertaining his mother out on Sunday. That's not the last word on that.
4. We had a fire alarm at work, it wasn't a drill but it was plainly obvious as we filed into the corridor that someone had been burning toast in the tenants' kitchen, we all had to go outside and assemble, fire brigade came, cheerful lot, identified the source of the alarm which was burnt toast smoke as we suspected and the culprit was already known. I smiled to myself as the leading fireman strode across the road to our gathering for a word with the arsonist, I imagined him taking her over his knee and teaching her a lesson in front of us all, I'm sure it might have led to an epidemic of burnt toast. It didn't happen but the thought put a smile on my face.
5. My cell phone battery has almost drained again it only lasts a few calls or even fewer texts, I have to go and find a new one, I hate having new gadgets but definitely need one, I'll get one like P's with an easy to work camera.

6. To top it all, our son called from Uni, he was on his way to hand in an essay, said he was feeling under pressure, I could hear it in his voice, it's his final year exams are looming and 4 more essays to hand in all in a tight timeframe, now I want to jump in the car go up and see him, give him a big hug and try to calm him a bit, I'm a real worrier when it comes to our son, I suppose all mothers are. I know not to do it, all his housemates are under pressure too, it's part of life.
It's lunchtime now, writing this post has cheered me up but there's more to come, I'm sure of it, because I'm way unhappy about number 3 and I'm going to say so.
