Curses! Foiled again!

I hate it when I have a list of things that need to get done before I leave town, and then I can't get half of them done because of some complication or another. My nice, controllable little world melts away quicker than the Wicked Witch of the West...(What a world, what a world...I'm melting!!) Not much I can do about it though, except grin and thank my lucky starts I had a few less things to do today.
