Day turns into Night

Skating downtown on Sunday–when Tabs fell and hurt her arm

Tired. Stopped at SB for a moment’s rest before I head home…Day was beyond insane….
Up early to run with Fernando in the cold (-10 oC) this morning. I wore a scarf around my mouth and it actually helped with my asthma.
 Then to the school to register Pip for kindergarden (form must be returned by 3 today–well, it is 5:30 and it is still with me). Picked up Tabs and took her to doctor for wrist. She fell skating on Sunday and her wrist has not  recovered. She missed piano lessons last night as it hurt too much.
Doctor told us to go to hospital because it must be x-rayed…Pip, Tabs and I spent 5 bleeping hours in emergency. Every time I wanted to give up and leave I realized I’d only have to come back and do it all over again.
Good news is Tabs x-ray looked fine but she has considerable swelling so Doctor wants her to wear a splint for a week.
Raced home to drop off girls (who by the way were better than gold all day at that horrible hospital. And all I had to purchase were 2 small stuffies, 3 kinder-surprise eggs and a small bag of chips).
Picked up my computer etc and raced out the door to the Uni. Realized I was out of gas but no time to fill up–made it. Taught my last class. Thank G! Too tired to care how it went. Onward to finish my paper in 6 days…I can do it. I will work around the clock.
So here I sit, going next door soon to pick up a taco to bring home as I instructed Peter to pick up something for the girls. Day has turned into night and I have only had one banana and a handful of walnuts all day.
…will have to return this kindergarden sheet a day late. C’est la vie.

    I wish I had–I had no idea the doctor would send us to the hospital and no idea it would take so long. Tabs will recover–her mother???
