Wondering

I just read my cousins' blogs. I remember those days of staying at home and all of the sudden the day was hijacked.
It happens now even though I work full-time.
I had great intentions to go today to Credit Union A, pull out the funds for our property taxes and put into my checking account in Credit Union B before I mail the payment. Why two credit unions?
Well, if I have to go to Credit Union A to pull funds out of savings, I have to THINK about it, then plan the trip and most of the time, it's NOT worth the effort, so I do NOT hijack funds for spending. If you know me, you know I LOVE retail therapy!
OK, back to the topic.
Hijacked.
You see instead of a friend calling to see if I could watch their kid so they can run errands and I end up staying home, a story now falls in my lap that has to be done. Usually these stories require that I wait P-A-T-I-E-N-T-L-Y for people to research the answers to my questions and call me back.
I know they're waiting until the absolute last minue. Which would just fine except Friday, tomorrow is Veterans Day, which means every government office and financial instutition, i.e., credit unions, are CLOSED.
