Monday-ist Monday Ever

At 8:30am I received a call to supply - thus beginning the day at a frantic pace. The supply work went well but - because I was in New Maryland at approximately the same time I SHOULD have been in Douglas - I was 30 minutes behind in beginning my first tutoring session. When I *did* arrive, the tickle that had developed into my throat was beginning to feel like a wicked cold setting in. Rushing off to pick up Mister at work (late), I managed to nearly run a red light. After dropping him off (supper-less), I rushed out to Keswick for a two and a half hour tutoring session with a sweet family on an off day. Fortunately, I left that session on good terms with all involved, but - about 2km down the highway - managed to get something in my eye (in that high, unreachable ridge of lid). By the time I arrived at my parents' place (where I was picking up a few items) my eye was nearly swollen shut. We spent the next 45 minutes flushing my eye with saline solution, to no avail. Having aborted my grocery shopping, my mother kindly offered to make our lunches for the next day and I accepted. On the trip home, however, a tire blew out on the bridge and I was forced to call a tow truck to come and replace it with the spare. Standing in the freezing cold rain - for nearly 30 minutes - I DID manage to tear up and dislodge the particle that had irritated my eye so much. Arriving home cold, tired and frustrated, I dropped my things and crawled into bed.


Oh well...at least I had a supply job!
