Hectic Day

days_unfoldingOverslept an hour. Fuck. I don’t have time to take a shower, so I’ll just throw some clothes on.
Yep, I got tickets on both cars. Occasionally, I hate the city of Urbana, and this is one of those times. I’ll have to brush the cars off after work because I have French at lunchtime. I can't wait until I can get the cars off of the street.
I feel a little like crying, but everything will be okay. Today is a hectic day though. I just canceled my French lesson. (Our big presentation is right afterwards. We have them quarterly, but it feels like we just did one! Time flies.) That helps. I'm doing some deep breathing exercises. My French teacher-to-be was cool about my canceling and said that she could teach me some useful phrases for my trip.
It was a zoo getting the cats and dogs out of the upstairs for the presentation. The cats took the bait to go down in the basement. I had to shut the dogs in the bedroom. The presentation went okay. I stumbled over my words a little, but clicking the slides (I had the slides that were displayed for the whole presentation with multiple presenters, which is why I had to corral the fur faces) went well.
Brushed off one of the cars. I’m inside thawing (currently 10F/-12C with a wind chill of 9F/-13C) and I let the dogs out. I need better gloves. Ordered some waterproof ones for brushing off the cars. I’ll go back out when the dogs come back in and I feed them.
Aargh. Got car #2 brushed off, although I want to get up early to scrape more ice off the windshields because I couldn’t see well. But then Bella stole my hat and ran to the bedroom with it and put it under the bed. Gracie thought that we were playing and scratched me hard in the face. I finally fished the hat out from under the bed and put it in a safe place to dry. The hat is a little small on me though, so I need a larger hat (ordered).
Apparently the laundry basket in the bathroom fell over and Bella stole a sock. Sigh.
Fed us all. Paid my parking tickets. Submitted a grocery order for tomorrow. Got a new pair of jeans out of its package. Now I need to post, feed the critters their crunchies, put some handwashed clothes in the dryer, and go to sleep.
