Busy Day

What a day.

Woke up far too early - alarm set for an ungodly hour on the premise that it would wake us up and an hour later we would get up - well, an hour later I finally managed to start dreaming again, which meant that by the time I got up I was already pushing it for my first appointment of the day. Ah well. Got my stuff together, and arranged to meet H later at the MOT place.

Walked to my first appointment, nipped into the shops and post office, headed to MOT place, no sign of H. Asked the man if he had been and gone - no. Tried phoning, eventually got through, he was about to leave. By this time the MOT man had another couple of cars to do, so we'd have had to wait a couple of hours, and we had to drive to Nottingham, so I'll now need to get up early again tomorrow to wait for the MOT man again. And he's a bit strange, so I'm not really looking forward to it! Anyway, off we went to Nottingham. Fortunately the weather was fine, so apart from the fact that I'm a lousy passenger - and even worse since the accident a couple of months ago - it was a fine drive. Tried to arrange to meet a friend for lunch, but she's in Spain so no luck there.

Had a typical Wagamama meal, then H phoned the man we were meeting to see about a space. Turned out he'd phoned the house this morning - must have just missed H, we weren't that early - to say that we couldn't see the space. So we decided to go round to his office anyway.

Had a good chat, and H decided to make the most of the meeting by transferring some data from his laptop. Opened the bag - no laptop! It was still on the desk back home. Anyway, we managed to get quite a bit done from the internet, so it was fine, and we headed back home. However, arranged to meet another friend for a drink first, which was nice, at the uni, so a hot chocolate, two buds, a cafe latte and a piece of pecan pie later, off we went. I drove back - in the dark and in the rain, with that horrible feeling of the beginnings of a cold. It's always strange when you can actually feel it getting worse. The sore throat, aching head, nose a bit runnier, glands beginning to feel swollen, neck and throat getting worse, back of nose getting blocked, throat sorer, nose running ... H was feeling a bit under the weather too. Could it be the car?

Anyway, we're home now and it's been a long day and I have to get up and go to the MOT place tomorrow, so I'm off to bed now. Goodnight!
