Scrap metal

I think I'm running low on my scrap metal content. Yesterday and today I've had to fight to keep my eyes open. So it's either low iron rearing up or it's too fecking hot in this building and the urge to be cozy and sleep is rampant. Either way I'll be stocking up on the spinach and steak. Nothing says Merry Xmas like bloody meat and slimy vegetables :)

Had a bit of a row with the kid this morning when she storms out of her room at 20 past 6am because she's panicked that she's missing her orchestra breakfast. She was supposed to be there at 6am.

WTF is the orchestra teacher trying to do to me? I'm just waking up at 6am. And Shan is definitely not a morning person to begin with so my question is, is she trying to kill us? Because frankly I can't tell you how much I look forward to being even more of a zombie at work because I had to get up at stupid o'clock to get the kid to a cheap restaurant. Unfortunately I had to break it to her that she just wasn't going to make it. There was just no way on earth both of us could get ready for the day in 15 minutes.

She was a little miffed at me, but I thought it was a good lesson for her in making sure she's prepared for these kinds of things instead of leaving them til the last minute and then forgetting to suss out the important details until I'm stumbling out of bed and she has to leave in 15 minutes.

Unfortunately upon arriving at work and reviewing the article in the paper regarding the event I found out that the damn thing wasn't this morning anyway. It's on Thursday. *sigh*
