The had to's, the got to's and the failed to's

[wiseheart]

Today I had to get up an hour earlier, so that I'd have the time to:
- prepare the weekly laundry,
- assist Mum with her weekly shower (we had to postpone it from Friday because there was the possibility of the techie to come),
- do the grocery shopping,
- start the washing machine,
- make breakfast,
- peel a pound of very thin asparagus (because the season is almost over and the nice, thick ones are no longer available),
- pre-cook aforementioned asparagus for tomorrow's quiche,
- empty the washing machine after it has run its cycle,
- hang up the washing,
- and to put together some leftovers for lunch.

In exchange, I got to:
- take out Mum for a walk,
- take a nice, long nap,
- talk to two friends on the phone.

However, I did not get to:
- do any crafting,
- or any writing.

I sincerely hope that tomorrow the relations will be the other way round.
