A Day of Delays, Disasters, and Discipline
by Mizz Geena | Apr 1, 2025 |
I’m having a day.
It started with an early morning doctor’s appointment. Nothing serious, just inconveniently scheduled. I had thing1 drive me, and yes—I was that woman putting on her face in the car. Ladies, you know the struggle.
The plan afterward was lovely: visit a friend’s new shop (I even had a cute little grand opening gift), lunch with another friend, and a relaxing mani-pedi to wrap it all up.
But no.
As we’re leaving the doctor’s office, the car has a blowout. thing1 handles it well—pulls over safely—but he looks like a deer in headlights. When I ask why he’s not already changing the tire, he confesses: he already used the spare last week and never got the flat repaired.
I was furious.
- Furious at him, for letting the problem become my problem.
- Furious at the neighbor’s construction crew who keeps leaving nails in the street.
- Furious at thing2, who took forever to answer his damn phone when I called him to come pick me up.
When he finally did show, his excuse for not answering? “I had nowhere to put my phone, I was naked.”
Oh, I’ll be showing him just where he can put that phone later tonight.
I missed my shop visit and lunch plans. I rescheduled both and decided to at least keep my mani-pedi appointment. thing2 drove me this time. Halfway there, I get a call—the salon had to shut down due to a fire in the building. Everyone’s fine, but smoke damage forced them to close for the day.
So back home I went.
thing1 is still waiting for the tow truck. When he finally walks in the door, both of my boys are getting punished. But not yet—right now I’m sipping the tea houseboy brought me, taking a moment to breathe.
Never punish when you’re angry. ☕
Oh no what a day, certainly seems like today the world chose to be an arse today.
Main thing is the doctors appt was kept as if they are like they are here you’d be waiting weeks to rebook!
Although far from ideal the other bits rescheduled, yes you have some punishments to dish out but hopefully there will be some subs that are going to be very keen to make it back up to you and get back in the good books.
And then you still have mani-pedi and the new shop to visit.
Thank you 11, a very glass half full approach.
I love the British ass “arse”, for some reason it always turns me on. I bet I’d love your accent too.
Perhaps someday I’ll command you to record a little message for me.
Hopefully your day did indeed improve, I would say I the standard ‘i dont think I have an accent’ but im sure you would disagree – or should i correctly say, correct me.
I have no doubt that one day a task to that effect will appear Mizz Geena.
A bad day indeed Mizz Geena. Since I’ve moved to my current home 6 yrs ago I have had the worst luck with nails and my tires. For some reason I keep picking up nails in both of my vehicles and my neighborhood is the only common denominator of all the places I go to. There is several remodeling projects going on in my neighborhood but, I avoid those streets.
A favorite saying of krissi at such times: “some days peanuts, some days shells. As with krissi and his wallet, now your boys get to “enjoy” shells of their own makings.
Shells … NOT peanuts. … instead pistachios, shattered just right, akin nettles … my imagination runs …
