In the back of my mind there's been a teeeny tiny voice saying something, reminding me of something important. I've been ignoring it as it wasn't very loud, and I've gone through my usual checklist when I hear that voice:
- marking done? Check.
- lesson plans up to date? Check.
- any outstanding client work that needs to be addressed? Nope.
- contacted all family members recently? Check.
- hotel and flight booked for Vegas? Check and check.
- bills all paid. nothing incredibly outstanding? Nope.
So I woke up this morning, turned off my alarm and the little voice, and had coffee in bed with Hunny Bunny. 20 minutes later he left for a gig. 20 minutes after that I remember what the voice was trying to tell me.
Oh, fuck. It's Hunny Bunny's birthday today.
So I called him on his cell and sang the traditional off-key lounge-style version of Happy Birthday. Oh thank god, he forgot too (he's as much into birthdays as I am into mornings). I was able to bluff him and say that I had a card and stuff, but well, it's morning and I forgot.
So I have until 7-ish to pull this together.
