Lessons Learnt

Yesterday was a fairly sucky day by my standards.
I had worked myself up about my hospital appointment, so I wasn't in the best place. Then, as I was driving to work, my beautiful car decided to break down. I burst into tears. Good times. An hour and a half later the AA man showed up and bless him, did his absolute best roadside and in the rain to fix her, but no luck.
So I got toed to the garage. Have you ever been toed? Man, that was possibly one of the scariest experiences of my life. I think if they had filmed me, I would have paid for the work I needed doing in a swear box!
My car is currently at the garage. I'm waiting to hear how bad it is. Thankfully they lent me a Yaris, which isn't the funnest drive, but so much better than catching a bus. Silver lining, because I was forced to listen to the radio, I had Radio 2 on & Imelda May played live on the breakfast show- That wouldn't have happened, had I been in my own car.

The hospital appointment was actually good news, so that was a weight off my mind.

It sucks about the car and it will mean less pennies for Canada. But I'm going. 43 days. Adventures ahoy.

Lets just remember this:


Happy Friday folks!

60 Days

Wowsers. Those days are just dropping like flies!

I'm feeling pretty content right now. Even more so because my friend just told me about Earls 
http://www.earls.ca/food-menu/starters  Oh my god, this food looks amazing. I may be dribbling a little.

Anyway, content.Yes. Not only is it 60 days until my Canadian adventure begins, but I've had a pretty good day so far. 
                                             
I had this cute little card waiting for me on my desk when I got to work. George is such a cute kid. And anyone who knows me, will also know I am not a kid fan or child friendly. But, how cute! Totally made me smile.
                                   

I also got this in the post! I'm doing the #Lovetrain idea with a few pals via Facebook & this is the first to arrive. Thanks to Penny Sue for the lovely treats. 

Its all put me in a rather good mood :)

I'm trying to just live in the moment and enjoy life for what it is.
