Not really woes, just alliterating again. My daughter is unwell and home sick from school, but that hasn't been a problem. She's feeling a lot better now and the bright side is that we don't have to bus to volleyball tonight!
Another sort of woe which has a bright side is that the optometrist phoned to say my mother's new lenses are ready to be fitted to her glasses. That means I need to take her into town and that means using the car. She can't cycle and would not fit in the fancy new trolley - although it would be fun trying! I could probably take her on the bus in the wheelchair at a pinch, but since I have the census stuff to take back anyway, I decided to put both birds in the same bush and kill them with one stone! That's a very mixed up metaphor to say that I will bite the bullet and drive the van or car to do both jobs on Thursday afternoon. At least it's only going to be one outing. Oh well...
Once my husband and son finally arrived home at 5.30 from cricket and work on the motorbike, I was able to bike up to the vets to get the much needed cat food supplies. Fortunately, they're open til 6pm. I mixed it in with collecting our Wednesday night takeaways which were near the vets. The happy surprise was when my son offered to cycle up with me. It surprised me as he'd only just arrived home after a long day at school and cricket practice. We had a lovely time cycling there and back together - which made me realise that the bussing and biking thing has another benefit... family time together.
