Timetable upside down

 I admit that I have been lazying about this morning. Did all my bank chores (finally!) when still in bed, baked coconut macaroons and almost despaired- I had bought a new brand of coconut flakes which needed twice as much whipped egg whites than the one I had used before, and I had to separate two more eggs, the yolk wandering into the spaghetti Carbonara, which definitely had too many eggs in it then. I made the beds in the studio and the guestroom, put the throws into the washing machine and performed a thorough vacuuming under and on the sitting area. Then daughter did call to tell me that there was a fifth early shift for her on Thursday. Problem is that I now have to postpobe the meeting with daughter´s godmother and most likely the one with a friend, too, because getting up five times at three is a bit harsh even for me. There´s a not so minor difference between getting up at that time to use the loo or getting up for driving. I would love to drink prosecco with godmother, which I am not allowed to do when driving. With my friend I will never drink, because she hates alcohol, not even a single glass of it. She is a professional buzzkill. Wasn´t one that long ago, only started when she got a divorce and the house got auctioned off. During her visits I am always tempted to doze off. God forbid that I do so when she´s here for her Christmas visit, buzzkill would be so, so very offended and turn her back on me for the next years. She is no more on speaking terms with most of her acquaintances. Her son-in-law hates her. Her grandchildren do not want to see her- might be because of her ´cordial nature´. Maybe she should have a glass of prosecco now and then to loosen up!
Friday trip to Graz is fixed now. Hubby promised to stop on our way at the big garden centre, so that I can buy Christmas roses which will go nicely with the coupons for godmother. Tomorrow is the day where hubby and I will plan the buffet for Christmas Eve. And if he comes up with Wiener Schnitzel for the youngsters we will have one guest less at the buffet (and that´s not me!). I do not even want to imagine the smell of fried Schnitzel mixing with the one of candles and incense...
BTW: Godmother just phoned. She is at home today and wants me to come over. Will do, will do...
