pegkerrThat appalling noise you hear is caused by the spinning plates turning into falling and shattering crockery.
I forgot. What with the surgery and recovery, I entirely forgot. Fiona was supposed to attend the citywide black belt test tonight, to be the partner of a girl who was testing, so that she could hold the pad and be the subject of self-defense moves, etc. I am absolutely mortified. Rob called me at 6:30 to ask about it; apparently they said something at the dojo about it when Fiona turned up for class. She was supposed to be across town at 6:00 p.m. I left a groveling message of apology on sensei's cell phone (of course he wasn't answering it because the testing was going on), asking that he please not hold this against Fiona. It was my fault.
I am so humiliated.
Edited to add: Okay, okay, everyone, message received. My job this week is recovering from surgery, and I am given a pass on my usual job of running the universe. Fiona got to the test late, but was still able to help Jackie out, who successfully passed the test.
Edited to add again: It was written on the calendar.
Edited to add yet again: Ahem. PLEASE QUIT SCOLDING ME.
