Today’s lesson: You can have a plan… and then the day can laugh at you.
I had ideas for today. Productive ones. Calm ones.
Then the universe sent… plumbers.
✔️ Breathwork session at 10? Only if the plumber arrived at 8am.
❌ Plot twist: I had to take James to school while Nick waited for a plumber who didn’t arrive.
Next stop: Mum’s house.
Another plumber booked today and the verdict: “Can’t fix the boiler. You need an electrician.”
So that was fun.
While there, I tried to:
– Do Mum’s Morrisons shop
– Check she had everything she needed
– Submit her self-assessment (failed ❌)
– Set up Utility Warehouse (half win ✔️)
Back home. Still no plumber. It’s now nearly 1pm.
Realised I need to pick James up at 3:20… and the bag I ordered from Next (absolute bargain btw – £10 instead of £50) is in Broughton.
So we’re off on a scenic mother-son road trip later.
Work done today?
Well… I did clear the back cupboard “just in case the plumber needed access” and discovered approximately 1,000 plastic bags, now lovingly bagged up for an Anglo Doorstep charity collection next week.
So no, I haven’t done the work.
But I’ve done life.
And sometimes that’s the job.i
If your day didn’t go 9–5 as planned, you’re in good company. We adapt. We juggle. We reroute. And we try again tomorrow. 💛
Now I am calmly drinking my protein shake, while waiting for the plumber!
