Last night just went on and on and on
Actually. The whole day did. Suckage during the day. Suckage that whereas last year it cost £20 to get my asthma covered on travel insurance, this year it's £70 (because, you know, American healthcare is expensive...three times more expensive than last year, apparently). Then FIM refused to create a proper mailbox in Exchange 2007 (Legacy mailbox, fine...), then I had to wave goodbye to N, and just felt entirely woebegone.
Which is silly, 'cos I get to see him at work tomorrow.
Then I got a flu vaccination. The GP was super speedy, I was in and out within 5 minutes. Plus there was none of this "stay put in case you have an allergic reaction" malarkey. I've had enough flu vaccinations in the past 20 years that I'm not going to start reacting now.
Then I went up to one Brownie pack to get them to sign our outgoing Div Comm's cards, then down to another Brownies and Guides (with a strategic taxi en route), dropping off someone else's Camping Qualification book while I was at it (well, you know, I was round the corner).
After that, I went to Waitrose (be still my beating heart), stocked up on decent gluten-free pasta and rice milk (neither of which Morrison's seems to deal with), and some apples, and bread for N so he doesn't eat mine, and accidentally bought a rather nice candle while I was at it.
And, it was all totally exhausting, and there were still emails to be dealt with on my return home, and I really hope I'm not about to get a cold, as I went on the Victoria line this morning. It was a bit necessary. I locked myself out, and only realised this when I remembered I'd not used my inhaler. "No matter," thinks I, "Jo's boyfriend is still in." So I rang the doorbell. And again. And waited a bit. And then again. Then I leaned on it. Then I paused a bit. Then I decided that the way forward was to perform a violent fantasia to the tune of 'Come to the cookhouse door, boys!" and he finally deigned to come down. Men!

You need to start giving him a treat when he opens the door. It works wonders with my dog. Not that my dog opens the door, but you know what I mean.
