Everything went wrong! Couldn’t see printed labels that were in plain sight. 👁️ Couldn’t reprint without new printer 🖨️ driver. Found them. 😵 Computer threw wobblies and shortcuts failed. 😣 Missed the Oxford courier. 🚚

So - turned system off completely. 💻 Drove to Rangiora for courier dropoff. 🚚 And coffee ☕️ and gelato 🍧.

ChatGPT has soothed me by writing a Kiwilaw song 🎶 to explain joint tenancy and tenancy in common. (I’ll post the full song once I persuade someone to sing it!)

If the rain ☔️ stops, I’ll take the dogs 🐕 🐶 to the dog park. 🌳 🌲 🌳 Or maybe we’ll just get wettish. 🌧️ 🧥 ☔️

It’s been a long day. My husband had a stroke overnight. Ambulance this morning. Christchurch ED. He has been admitted. He’s safe. He can talk. He will live a bit longer. His functional mobility is probably unchanged.

Yesterday was also mostly a medical day for other reasons. It had been one of those weeks.

Tomorrow I plan to catch up on the unanswered new enquiries and some client documents that have waited a little longer than they should. With the aid of an assistant to whom I didn’t have energy to delegate today. (Literally lacked energy - I took a short phone charger lead with me. When the phone needed recharging, I couldn’t use the phone while it charged. Just as I had rediscovered how to access the project work on my phone, which I needed to reassign.)

You should hear from us by the weekend, if not sooner.

The Christchurch ED is amazingly efficient. Its staff are respectful, gentle, thoughtful, and kind, as well as (apparently) competent. I don’t know how they do it.
