Crappy Monday morning? A little luxury will save the day…

Stress and anxiety were my first emotions of the day today. The tone of what happened last night stayed with me and carried into Monday.

Not a good way to start a busy week. (Had to do with fortnite, don’t even ask…)

I go to turn on the kettle and see every appliance blinking. Hm. Must have had a power outage last night. Does this mean my son’s alarm clock won’t go off?

Awesome. 🙄 (After all the preaching I did on that topic, this is not a good way to start a Monday morning…)

I looked out the window. Ick. I turned on the weather segment on some breakfast show on tv and more ick. Rain and cool all day.

After consulting with coaches over text and email, I canceled my daughter’s baseball practice tonight.

Just as well. My mood slightly improved as I made coffee and contemplated lunches. Don’t really feel like rushing around to go watch them play in a muddy field later…

Fast forward to a bunch of morning chaos and we finally get into the car. I offered to drive my kids plus a kid’s friend because the weather was atrocious. Also the son doesn’t have a rain coat. (Note to self: more shopping.)

So I’m driving around to the various schools when suddenly, my butt starts to feel very warm. I wiggle around a bit and think, hm…maybe my fleece jacket is causing all this heat?

I look at my son in the passenger seat.

“Does your seat feel warm?” I ask him.

He smiles.

“I turned on the seat warmer for you”, he said. ❤

This is so luxurious, I tell you, I can’t wait to drive kids to school and hockey in crappy weather now! (Not really. 🙃 )

All our cars up until recently have been second hand, older and pretty basic, so having a seat warmer is like luxury to me.  But the seat was getting a bit too warm. I told him to turn it off.

“It has three settings, you want it on the low one?” he responded.

Huh.

I have been missing out. 🙂 Plus, there is a steering wheel warmer option too, apparently.

Well, as far as I’m concerned, we are ready for winter.

But not yet, please. I haven’t had time to go through all the clothing yet.

Happy Monday! I’m feeling better now. Have a great start to another busy week.
