Madhouse today! An absolute madhouse, here. Just one little crisis after another. Fortunately, I was able to get some work done today, but I’ve yet to see whether I’ll be able to make wordcount. Huzzah.

How not to tempt fate, school bus edition.
Me, 7:18 AM: Hey, this bus pickup for the kid’s first day of summer social interaction went smooth, for a change!
Me, 9:18 AM [One call from bus company telling me they had broken down and could I please collect my child, incomplete directions as to where the bus was, GPS conking out four times on the way to the bus, getting slightly lost, nearly dying because the other guy suddenly decided to play chicken at the intersection, driving the kid to the location, having to speed-cross every lane of 2 major highways because Maryland is addicted to putting entrance ramps on one side of the goram road and exit ramps on the goram other, finding out the bus company hadn’t told the school program they had broken down, being told Oh, sure, don’t worry about having to come pick up your kid!*, and spilling a medium orange juice over the front of my body later]: WHY MUST YOU SEEK YOUR OWN DESTRUCTION LIKE THIS MOE-FOOL HAVE YOU NO SENSE YOU HAVE NO SENSE
So that was my morning!
* I will do no such thing.
Didn’t write anything new today…
…and I can’t imagine why. On the other hand, I mostly caught up on edits of the new book. I didn’t need as much concentration to do that.
I’ll be glad when I’m on the other side of this procedure.
