Sad: Realised this library book I've been procrastinating on reading can't be renewed any more and is due while I'm away. Have to drive quite a ways away to return it.

Glad: realised I could borrow the same title from a different library system on the way back, and it's closer to home (they were all on loan last month).

Sad: couldn't find my library card. Shit shit shit.

Glad: library staff extremely helpful in getting me a barcode to use. Book borrowed and ready to read in detail on my holiday!

Sad: well now it's late and traffic and gah. Will I run out of time to do everything tonight?

Glad: oh wait I booked my flight for tomorrow late arvo, not midday like my brain thought. So I have plenty of time. Yey.

Edit: extra glad: tax refund came in, yeehaw. I can safely enjoy my trip without worrying too much

Frogurts are banned in this weather. Cursed or otherwise... (that's good)
