h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well today was pretty much a waste of time. Fix the car bloke couldn't get to see the damage today so it'll have to wait now until ? well, that's anybody's guess.

Elderly relative is still breathing, but only just. Neither son can apparently do anything on Saturday so I'm pulling a triple shift - afternoon, evening and overnight. I'm getting 2 hours off tomorrow at teatime to get daughter to a birthday party - or nearest house to venue. She'll then go to another friend's house after the party. I'll see her sometime on Sunday.

On the plus side my elder sister (who's named after elderly relative) is going to see if she can borrow HER car of her son tomorrow which would mean she could do afternoon shift and I could sleep in preparation for the evening/night shift. Apparently her son borrows the car every Saturday to get to his football practise, his car is seemingly unavailable on a Saturday. What is it with sons this year? They seem to be going out of their way to be unhelpful.

Anyway, photos of niece's engagement ring have appeared on facebook so the world now knows that champagne breakfasts in the Dominican Republic lead to marriage proposals and Bob only knows what else.

I'm feeling lucky so I'll purchase some lottery tickets tomorrow.

You should be at present, love..you can't afford burn-out, or make yourself ill....

on the lotto..
