onepageatatimeToday was a frustrating day. I was yearning for my usual weekday routine, after H had taken a week of vacation time. (It was full staycation, but we got out several times in the first few days, including a new-to-us restaurant one day, a new-to-us location of a familiar restaurant and a museum visit the next day, and our roughly fortnightly IKEA trip (mostly because the heat bothers H, so she values Ikea as a large indoor place for a walk with fun stuff to look at).
But… my day derailed very quickly. Some of it was my weird obsession with seeing things live, so when the morning news mentioned Liz Truss's visit to Balmoral to become Prime Minister of the UK, I immediately switched over to BBC News (until they got bored of talking about that… to be fair, there wasn't anything to see after she'd gone in) and I switched over to Peacock which carries Sky News (my main criteria being British coverage I could access instead of American coverage).
And then… what felt like disaster. I knocked over a partial can of ginger ale. And it landed on a pile of junk between the arm of the love seat and the table next to it. So I filled up two trash bags of that and used a couple of paper towels at what I could reach, before giving up. And… my day was ruined.
I kept with the news coverage until Truss walked into 10 Downing Street. But… making lunch before soccer came on? Wasn't happening. I am annoyed because I was looking forward to today and none of it got done.
Sigh… I wish I could write more, but hearing the thunder out there, I want to submit before lightning causes a power blink and I lose the entire post!
