selkie at 11:14am on 22/09/2005We're getting married in two weeks and two days. We're probably getting there by Flexcar.
Petrol is rumoured to rise to $8 by Monday. This can't be good. Surely they'll set a fixed price.
If petrol rises sharply, working at home may be an option for most people in my office. Just not, you know, me. I Metro anyway, but if Metro does a fare increase, we're going to have to cancel the cable or something. Seriously. It's $4.40/day for me right now to get to work, and more for N. I could do it more cheaply, but it would mean leaving the house an hour earlier than I do already.
The shuttle I take to the office every morning passes through what's politely called government-subsidised housing. This morning I saw the people on the front step, the laundry done before dawn this morning hung out to hurriedly dry so the kids would have clean school clothes, and then one front step with a Caucasian woman standing on it in a trim grey suit, carrying a briefcase. I couldn't stop myself from thinking It's the social worker come calling, and then I had a really bad flashback and ended up scroobled down in a ball in my seat on the shuttle bus. Yeah, I'm marvelous.
We ordered a copy of The Survivor's Guide to Sex. I haven't read it in years, and I'm looking forward to reading it again. This surprised me.
N's wedding present arrived in the mail yesterday evening, and it is more beautiful than I thought it would be when I bought it.
...That's all, I think.
