IN: I stayed home and finished up the cleaning I left undone on Saturday . Then I picked up some stuff from the grocery store that we had run out of . I also managed to pick up two small pumpkins ! That made me happy !
What might be the reason I am happy about my day ?

OUT: I have done all my chores and I got a couple of Halloween squashes .

IN: This is simply the bleak reality for parents of young children without live - in nannies . Second is the need for comfort . I come from a family of tea grannies , and ever since I was a child , tea represented the immediate , if temporary , solution for almost all problems .
How can tea solve problems ?

OUT: Sitting quietly and sharing a warm beverage with someone ( Like a granny ) who is kind is reassuring .

IN: I could just about pull away from the stop , anyway i missed a couple of stops and pulled up at All saint 's church where the next lot started pushing and shoving for space this went on all the way to Stratford taking me well over an hour ( the duty card says about 35 minutes ) , so i ' m well late . This went on all day with no help whatsoever from the rail replacement buses . I got a few turns from our controllers ( two on one trip at one point ) but even these did n't help , so the next time i pulled up at Canary wharf i could contain myself no longer , i let rip at the rail controllers that left them in no uncertain terms that i would not be doing their work any longer .
What may be a plausible fact about myself ?

OUT:
I am lost in the middle of trying to get somewhere .
