About My Day

I showered, pressed my clothes, got dressed, did my hair, put on makeup, and attempted to wake up my daughter.    She is sick.   Stomach ache.   I tend to be a little wary where 7-year-old illnesses are concerned, but normally regret it later when a phone call comes mid-day saying, “Yes, I am actually sick, and now throwing up and I tried to tell you I was sick earlier.”

So I opted to call my office and explain TLK was not feeling well.   This was quickly accepted by my boss, which I appreciate greatly.   

The rest of the day involved cable tv, crunches (which I’ve been doing for about 5 days), reading the entire Internet and my email, a short walk and talking to my favourite poet (not to be underrated… this is always a happy part of my day).

TLK and I packed up after awhile and went to the grocery, where we picked up milk, bananas, Corn Pops, pasta past its due date (see how often I buy fresh pasta?), American cheese and fresh strawberries, which TLK insisted on (she has finally proven she was not switched in the nursery at birth).     We came home and I cooked dinner (pasta.. not the out-of-date stuff, though…and broccoli)

I started reading this site to learn about various things in the UK, mostly the government.

Tomorrow, back to work, I think.    TLK seems to be running a little bit of a temperature.  😦

  1. What are ‘crunches’?
    That school site is excellent. I’ve often referred, and linked, to pages on it’s website in the past.
    Take care! xx

  3. Oh there’s definitely an end of the internet: http://www.endoftheinternet.com/

    Gem lives out in the sticks they are strange there; we’re much more refined here in civilisation. 🙂 My boss, as I think I’ve mentioned before, is a Lord – it even says so on his passport (he’s also a total plank – a fact strangely omitted from the same passport).

    p.s. MUSHY peas are LOVELY!

  4. Incidentally; the site you referenced has an “Glossary of English words and phrases”. It mentions “blimey” in there and the definition is correct but did you know that when I was a little boy my nan (maternal Grandmother) used to tell me that I should not say the word because the full phrase is “cor blimey” which she considered blasphemous as it is derived from the phrase “God blind me”.

  5. Ian – See? I am already in trouble… just over mushy peas (mushy peas… mushy peas.. I can remember that … ) 🙂

    Hmmm… a “minced oath” 🙂

    I like the little boy stories. x
