Mental Meanderings

Forcing an ok day

Well, after a dull weekend I woke up in much the same mood but being a Monday and not having any milk and a daughter who wanted to go swimming I dragged myself up and at them anyway.

We walked the thirty minutes to the local pool only to find that they are closed for thew two weeks of the school holidays. Poor Kaylie was very disappointed and by then so was I because the weather is beautiful and it would have been lovely to go swimming in. But, I figured we'd just go up the road a little to get the milk and bread, maybe a DVD and something sneaky for lunch then head home.

Of course someone forgot to tell me that for some reason it's a public holiday today. Who goes and springs these things on people anyway? If Kaylie wasn't in school holidays I'd probably have walked her to school only to find out that they weren't open. Add to that the fact that all the good DVD's were already out.

Well, one of the takeaway places were open so we did stop for a tasty lunch of fish and chips. Great weather for it which made eating outside lovely. The petrol station nearby was open too so I did manage to get some milk before heading home.

The day wasn't a total bust but I was glad to get home again in the early afternoon and go back to bed where I managed to finish book 8 of The Wheel of Time. I've also managed to finish the message boards section of Ipseitys so the day was rather productive.

After a slow start, pushing myself into the day seemed to work well. I don't however have much else worth talking about tonight. Only making an entry at all because of the promise to myself to do so every day. Two weeks of maintaining that promise. I'm doing pretty well. But now, it's back to the TV for a little bit before shower and bed.
