Okay, so yesterday started out calmer in that I woke up and managed to make it downstairs roughly in time to think about doing classwork on time. That did not happen, but it was because the boy went and picked up the car from being serviced and then said hey do you want to go grocery shopping.
Spoiler Alert: We did not go grocery shopping.
Instead we got to his physical therapy appointment, left the therapist's and went to the grocery store and made it about halfway there when the Check Engine light came on. Which should not be happening when the car's just been serviced, so we detoured over to the dealership garage, which took forty five fucking minutes to tell us they'd forgotten to reboot the car after they'd serviced it. Not literally, but it was about that basic. They thankfully did not charge us for it, I think the boy and I both would have yelled at them if they'd tried, but by this point we were already so delayed and annoyed that we just got the immediately necessary groceries and went home. Because in addition to everything else the boy's supervisor had called and asked if he could come in that late afternoon to help out with something, and he wanted a nap before he did that, and I wanted to get some fucking classwork done.
I did not get the fucking classwork done that I wanted to get done, but that was mainly because they'd gone from zero to sixty with the material and I decided instead to practice the material at a more leisurely pace on my own time, and a couple other skills while I was at it. I also got a bunch more books downloaded to my kindle and at some point ever I will Calibre them onto the computer, but for now, books.
The rest of the day and today was calmer. I got a few things done, I got some other things organized to be done, and nothing exploded or got worse or fell off or anything like that. We have a quote for the solar panels which is better than I expected. Hopefully we can have a calm week or two now, and regain some equilibrium. Though I'll settle for a calm rest of the weekend at this point.
