I recently made a list of tasks to be done.. ranging from getting my mower serviced to having the house re-painted outside.

So my schedule is getting busy.

Tuesday I arrange to get off work 15 minutes early for a dental appointment.  I got to the dentist 5 minutes before the scheduled time.  But then I waited 50 minutes to get in to the dentist's chair.  Fortunately it was only a routine check-up and clean.  And I didn't have to go back to work. 

But my mower service centre is just across the road.  If I'd known, I could've used my time more efficiently and dropped the mower in before I went to the dentist.. rather than after.

Later, I was waiting for a painting company to come to do an inspection for a quote.  The arranged time was 2.30 to 3pm.  Finally, the person arrived at 4.05pm.

10 minutes later, my nephew arrived for some help with a school assignment.  I had rung to say they were running late.  The assignment (involving planning and costing a holiday) took 4 hours.  I hadn't expected it to take that long.

What a day!
