Ugh

I'm having a bad day.

I was late to my hairdresser appointment and have had to reschedule for later today (so grateful there was an open slot) and I nearly cried when I was trying to work out what I wanted to do. The lateness was a combo of having trouble getting out of the house, having a total mental fuzz out over where to park so I spent a while pointlessly touring the mall car park (it was almost empty, that threw me) and then looking up the warning light that appeared on my dashboard.

Now I'm sitting in the dealership finding out whether my car is badly ill and how much it will cost to repair her. I'm hoping it can be fixed today: I probably really will cry if I can't get my hair done and can't get the groceries I'm supposed to do later.

My lunch dilemma seems fairly trivial right now. And, frankly, my tummy feels knotted and unhappy so eating is about the last thing I want to do.

Can I have a do over on today?

Yes, you can. I'll just get my TARDIS, go back to the beginning of today and we'll start 11th February again.

It would be so awesome if you could. Thankfully the car is covered under the warranty so it's fixed, I've sorted out groceries and treated myself to pasta for lunch to take some of the ick out of the day. Now I'm half an hour early for the new hairdresser appointment and getting funny looks from the girls on the desk.

I'd still like to do today again. I was supposed to spend the afternoon watching rugby! Not getting all this other stuff done :-(

At least the car's fixed.

My day was a bit like that - I thought I'd get some things done this afternoon that wouldn't take too much energy, as I was in. And then I spent it on the kitchen floor with the washing machine.

Oh, boo :-( Is the washing machine OK?

[paranoidangel]

It is now. The pump died because it was so dirty. The washing machine is built into a cupboard (which is just stupid), so after dismantling half the kitchen, I managed to get to it. I suspect the pump has been cleaned approximately never, since it became a rental house. Like many other things in the house, I think.
