Tonight my mother and sister are leaving for Europe- for three weeks. Which of course mean that i'll be spending that time "house sitting" (i.e. making a mess and feeding the cat)
Last night, I though I'd be smart and order groceries to be delivered, so I'd know I wouldn't have to worry about going to the shops to get tonight's dinner- canneloni and salad (with fetta I might add)
I ordered the $150 worth of food and other assorted items to be delivered between 3 and 7pm- in time for dinner. At 7:05pm, the grocery man still hadn't knocked on my door. Getting anxious and more than just a little hungry, I went to the Woolworths website to get the customer help number (which I'd already used yesterday to change the delivery address when i realised the food was on its way to my dad's house). While on hold, listening to the maddening Woolworths theme song over and over again (Australiaaaans are fresh food people...) I looked at the screen in front of me and saw the reserved delivery time. 15:00-19:00 Thursday 12 May.
I thought to myself "wait a tic, todays the 11th" and then realised that i'm utterly incapable of even having groceries delivered. I was mortified, James was amused. So now I'm cooking pasta from scratch, at 8 o'clock at night, when for the last 4 days I've been practically dreaming of canneloni.
And of course, because someone needs to be home tomorrow between 3pm and 7pm, I won't be able to work. At least not a full day. Which means I won't be getting such a glorious pay next week and most likely won't be bringing my debt down to a nice even $1500. But at least i still have canneloni to look forward to.

Aw man! Good luck at becoming domesticated. I'm sure it's SOMETHING that will come to you.
ReplyDeleteMy parents are vacationing next week, too, so my sister and I are stuck doing laundry and cooking food and stuff. (i.e. letting our clothes be smelly and eating leftovers). We can fail together? ;)
