What a Day!!

So, today I awoke to discover that I was not yet completely better as my throat was incredibly sore, and my voice was gone! I kept telling the children at the centre that I lost my voice and they kept trying to find it! One child even kept bringing me handfuls of 'voice', which she fed to me, to see if it was my voice! Quite the imagination that one!!

So, here I am, tired, sore, no voice, and heading home, only to remember that I still needed to deposit a cheque (money isn't always the first thing thought of when I'm sick). So I hopped on an express bus that would hopefully get me to the bank on my bus route, and allow me enough time to deposit the money and get back to the bus stop for the bus that goes down my street. Well, as we got closer to the bank, there were all sorts of police cars, and the street was shut down, and the traffic was all rerouted! So I got off where the driver offered to let us off, and walked to the bank, only to discover that the emergency situation was in front of the bank and as a result they were closed. The emergency situation was a pretty severe water main break - the entire parking lot of the bank, and the street in front of the bank was full of water!

So now I have to get myself across the street, down a few more streets, back across the street where it is dry, and keep walking to the street where the busses were coming off the reroute from. And I am doing this in this bitter cold, with a severe sore throat, a mild head cold, and feeling very achey! *sigh* AND I still have to deposit my cheque!

Thank Goodness Tomorrow's Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like quite an adventure with the bus thing! Cute about the kids "finding your voice"!
Hope you feel better soon!
