Heart attack at 6am

(Bear in mind it's only 11.10 here at the moment and this is my morning) 
I had to write and tell you this, I was either going to have - end of the road as the subject, earthquake at 6 am or, heart attack at 9.30am equally as good but didn't want to worry anyone so went with the first one. 

So let's starts with the subject title ... just had to get the road worthy done on the car aka MOT (lasts as long as you own the car so better than an MOT) (fyi helps to wear a short dress - gets you $7 off and you get it done 30 mins early) while I'm there in said short dress I'm glancing round Quinneys office aka car dude. I'm thinking he has a tidy office,  clean too, then I glance up .... I AM NOT joking. I nearly threw up, cried, passed out, ran and screamed all at the same time. 
I thought it was a bloody bat hanging down, I'd have preferred a bat I think. Actually no scrap that my hair is beyond Monica style at the moment. . 
Anyway this thing was literally the size of a bat. I was perched on the end of my chair ready to run out the door. 
Thank god Car dude only took 5 mins to do road worthy (no exaggeration) all he did was start the car looked around it and signed the forms. 

I practically ran out of his garage as fast as possible in silly dress and flip flops. 

I'm at the flat now doing washing (the keys have to go back on Monday so then it really will be down to the river) 
I will keep you posted about today's washing and how it ends up. Grrrr. 

On the way here came down the new highway that's being built and saw a girl construction worker holding a sign saying slow. Got me thinking ..... I could do that job. She had nice boots on and a hard hat (I want / need a hard hat... this will be explained in a bit) then I thought I could practice my Gangnam style ... but then I'm not sure the motorists would appreciate it so back to the drawing board. 

So earthquake at 6 am. To say I'm sleeping bad is an understatement but hey ho. All of a sudden I'm woken by a shake.... A thud and a flap... 
I bolt up in bed 'some things landed' I shriek. Sean bless him leapt from the ground (we're on airbeds did you know!) he was like a ninja. Only to find it was a moth. A giant mahoosive one as well. Sean asked me what I wanted him to do. I reply don't know, just do something so he's sees it fly into the walk in wardrobe and shuts the door. 
Not sure that was the best but at the time I was ok with it. 
Gingerly get out of bed and get ready to take him to work. 
Now you see why I need the hard hat. 

On return to the house from dropping him off I strip the bed to find another one or the same mahoosive moth flapping IN MY BED. Asked Ob if he was any good at catching moths he said he's not. Great... so I very bravely got a tea mug (not one I drink out of) scooped it up and covered it with a bit of paper and had Ob standing by the door to release it. 
Get back to the room and there's a scary on my bed. Omg... flicked off and squatted.
My stress and anxiety levels are not good and it's now only 8 am.

Walked Ob to school (scanning as I go) he lost his pencil case yesterday and was worrying about is, found now so all is well. 
Tx Sean about my hideous morning and bless him has arranged for the exterminators to come in a week Friday. 
Till then I'm sleeping on the sofa (aka camping chair). They spray the house / garden so nothing can get in and it lasts for a year! Yay. 

On the way to the flat from the garage I think I know where I'm going until.... I literally am at the end of the road. It just turned into a dirt track. Seriously I'm not joking... (mental note to actually pay attention when driving) got back on the road and thought just go left.... when I saw signs for Sydney I guessed I'd gone a little wrong.
But it's all good, got here in the end. ... forgot to bring the fob for the underground car park so have had to park about 3 miles away and carry all bedding and dirty clothes to the flat. 
To say I look like a state is an understatement, and then to top it off my dress is caught in my bag showing far to much thigh than I'd like. 
Sigh. 

Hope your morning is as eventful as mine. Can't imagine what this afternoon is going to bring!!
