Too Much This, Not Enough That, But We Do Need the Rain...

So, I had great plans for Friday. There were many things I wanted to accomplish. To quote a great writer, "The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry," which means plans often never work out the way we wanted them to. First, Friday morning a maintenance man showed up to finish some work on the bathtub/shower. When he finally finished, I managed to get out to run a couple of errands (going to the grocery store and the pharmacy). When I got back, the kitchen sink was backing up (water was coming up into the sink). While I was on the phone to call maintenance, a workman stuck his face in the kitchen window to see if I was having problems and scared the hell out of Edgar. It turns out he was working on the sink next door, and since both sinks use the same pipe to drain, well, we both were now having problems. So he now had to come in to work on the problem from my side, which took all afternoon.
During that time I had to stay in the living room to keep Edgar calm. It seems he didn't like that particular workman, and remained agitated the entire time he was there. Luckily another workman replaced him after the first couple of hours.
When the last man left at about 6 o'clock, he told me he couldn't fix the problem, which was a drain blockage in the pipe line. But, he had called a plumber, who would be here in about an hour. The plumber did fix the problem, but by the time he left it was after 8 o'clock, and the day was gone.
I suppose it was for the better that I had not had the time to wash the kitchen floor that morning, since it would now have to be washed again.
And that, my friends, was my exciting Friday. Most of the things I planned to do on Friday still need to be done. And since it is such a lovely rainy day, I believe I am going to spend the day not doing them again.
Some days we are prevented from doing things we wanted or planned to do. Other days, we are given excellent excuses not to do those same things, which we now don't really feel like doing. Rainy day, dream away, let the sun take a holiday...Enjoy!
