Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

My morning so far:-

Wake up to alarm at 7.15, resist urge to burrow back under duvet.
Peer out of window to assess weather. There's snow but not too deep.
Get dressed
FogHorn calls and confirms she's taking daughter to school, will meet me at 8.30am.
Hop in car and slither carefully to garage - snow has eased considerably, it's mostly a very fine rain/sleet.
Drop car at garage, arrange for boss man to ring me.
Trudge home, noting the snow is getting heavier. And heavier. And deary me, it's rather heavy now.
About halfway home, get call from FogHorn - she's changed her mind about venturing out. I agree wholeheartedly and tell her I'm taking the day off as we'd discussed yesterday.
Make it home resembling something like an Abominable Dormouse.
Slurp tea, attempt to thaw out.
Boss chap at garage calls - I ask if they're willing to do the MoT but wait for payment until payday*. He goes to consult with boss.
Garage calls back - nope, no credit can be given. Sigh in disappointment but it was a long shot.
Enjoy remainder of tea.
Clamber back into wet coat and soggy scarf and start the thirty minute trudge back to the garage. The snow has stopped, but it's raining deceptively steadily.
Reclaim car, rebook MoT for payday.
Drive home.
Collapse on sofa with more tea, toast and hot water bottle.

At least I have the day off to recover :)

* - just heard that my cheque for the car tax bounced and can they have payment NOW please. Dammit. So I had to use the money I'd earmarked for the MoT and living expenses this month. Eh. I can eat next month :P **
** Seriously, it's ok, just annoying.

Talk about conflicted. We're scheduled for heavy snow (possibly) tomorrow morning. I have to get my car over to the garage for its MoT by 8am and hoof it to the nearby HCC building to meet FogHorn who's giving me a lift into work. I don't wanna go in that early *whines* I don't wanna be up that early either *whines harder*

BUT if it snows, FogHorn won't go in and we've already arranged I can use a day's leave. So I could take the car in later (MoT's booked for 10.30). Yay! But IF that happens, it means the snow is really, really bad and I'll have to drive in it, albeit not far *whimpers*

I have no idea if I'm wishing for heavy snow tomorrow or not :P

My car passed its MoT with nothing needed!!!

*does the Happy Mitchy Boogie*

Proof that the power of finger crossing is a mighty force indeed :D
