When I looked at my calendar this morning, I shuddered – It’s Friday the 13th, agh! \u00a0All it takes is things going horribly wrong on one of those days and you fear them forever. \u00a0Even if you aren’t that superstitious, there’s still that niggly little feeling in the back of your head.<\/p>\n

I had it, I won’t lie…<\/p>\n

\"Friday<\/a>
\nThe Mongolian Shit Invasion<\/a>, who could ever forget it!<\/p>\n

The first thing that came to mind was that something was going to go wrong in our house. \u00a0For the past week we’ve had three guys here repairing and repainting pretty much our entire flat. \u00a0Their last day on Friday the 13th? \u00a0We were screwed, something was going to go horribly wrong and cost us a fortune to fix. I was convinced.<\/p>\n

Only not so much, they finished up, tidied up after themselves, thanked us for the gig and were gone without incident. Unless, of course, you count my spatially challenged husband continuously walking into wet doorframes, that is… but that’s a rant for another day. \u00a0I knew not to count my chickens before they hatched as we still had some things to get done before the day was over. \u00a0Mainly getting everything back in our big clothes cupboard so we can sleep in our bed tonight. \u00a0I had to remove everything from it yesterday so that I could move it to make space for the painters to work on some stuff, which meant it had to all go back together today.<\/p>\n

My husband has scoliosis, and I’m a tough chick, so I do most of the moving of furniture and any lifting within my abilities. \u00a0So this happened…<\/p>\n

\"Friday<\/a><\/p>\n

Hey, if I’m going to be busy shoving furniture around, he can figure dinner out, right? \u00a0Of course, he did what most men would do (including his friend Marc, apparently), and ordered dinner online. \u00a0He had a craving for meat and luckily the grillrooms here have just the thing to satisfy him, but not me. \u00a0I’m really not into what I call “meat blobs”, which is basically giant blobs of spiced meat in a styrofoam container, with fries and garlic sauce. Blech<\/em>.<\/p>\n

He wanted to order from a place we’ve never ordered from before, because they had an EVEN BIGGER meal blob offer, so I told him to just order a pizza for me and we can have the leftovers sometime over the next few days. \u00a0I was tired, we were both hungry and I just couldn’t get imaginative with what I wanted to eat. \u00a0What all else fails, when nothing else appeals, pizza always does the trick.<\/p>\n

Remember when I said the day wasn’t over yet? \u00a0Well, our food arrived and the pizza smelled absolutely delicious… I was drooling!! \u00a0Then this happened…<\/p>\n

\"Friday<\/a><\/p>\n

CURSEWORDS!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don’t know what the delivery guy did to my pizza but it arrived looking like the greasy, teenaged face of the elephant man. \u00a0Everything was all shlobbed off to the side, there was a disgusting, greasy river going down the middle, it was nasty. \u00a0\u00a0We ended up phoning and they said they’d send us another pizza, but we had to give this one back. \u00a0Hey, gladly!<\/p>\n

It was getting late, I was tired, plus we’d not had lunch so we were both hangry and I just needed to eat. \u00a0I threw my hands in the air at the idea of waiting for another pizza to arrive, and set to making something for myself. \u00a0I put it in the oven, sat down, and no lie, within 15 minutes of the call, they were here with our new pizza. \u00a0Which looked MUCH better… but… I’d just put dinner in the oven and wasn’t going to be ready for another 20 minutes! \u00a0So, stubbornly, I sat and waited for my own homemade food, cuz that’s just how I roll.<\/p>\n

Oh well, tomorrow is\u00a0Valentine’s Day. \u00a0It can only get better from here, right?! \u00a0Plus, compared to the renovation disaster I was expecting, a sloppy pizza doesn’t seem so bad. At least the replacement was free!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
