I've been busy getting things back into order. To date, I am still the limousine service that takes Matthew to/from school. We do the daily jockey of leaving the house by 7:00 AM to beat the school buses on the road and I promptly drop him off at 7:10 AM. Enough time for Matthew to get to this locker and sort out his school bag. I proceed home to start the laundry list of items that need to be done that day. Most of the time, it involves locking myself in a room and facing the items that need to find a home.
Today, my routine has been blown. For starters, I've started the morning with a flat tire. One that won't come off the wheel base at all. I've called the service and someone was supposed to arrive to help me get this thing off the wheel base. So far, no show. In the meantime, I've kept myself occupied by calling the neighborhood tire repair place so I can schedule an appointment to get my tire repaired and putting things away. In addition, I have my eye on the clock because I need to pick Matthew up from school this afternoon.
Oh, did I mention that I've got follow up calls to the insurance company about the paint damage and for the damage to our items? Yes, that is the ongoing saga that doesn't seem to want to end. I've got to make follow up calls to the City of Stamford regarding the school bus situation. I've been desperately trying to get Matthew onto the bus route since the beginning of school. Ridiculous that this has been ongoing for the past three weeks but I have to exercise patience since if I tick off the wrong party, he may never be put on a bus route. So, I am exercising my karma and remaining calm. Hopefully, the rest of the day will be better.
