Ulog #2 | A busy day with an unexpected ending

A few days passed since my first Ulog was posted

And here I am for another one. Yesterday I didn't find the time to post anything unfortunately, so I thought this would be another opportunity to make a Ulog about yesterday. It was a busy and long day actually, with an unexpected ending. Actually the start of the day didn't go as planned either, lol.

I was panning on leaving home early by myself

As my boyfriend is at home since a few days, and I had to go back to the tax office because of a spelling error in my daughter's document, I thought let's take advantage of the fact he's at home and go by myself. Because toddlers and waiting (sometimes) for a long time at those government agencies, they just don't mix that well. But when I was about to leave, my boyfriend suddenly said I'm going with you because I need to pick up some things at work, and arrange something at the tax office too. I totally forgot about the two advantages he could ask for after my daughter would have her tax number. He will get two extra days off every year for the fact he has a child, and a tax reduction every month. Luckily he didn't forget lol, so off we went all three of us.

I avoid subways and prefer using tram or bus

There's something about subway's that I find scary: the stairs down. I didn't know this until I went with the subway for the first time here in Budapest, and found out I almost passed out while looking down. It's like falling in a deep hole and it makes me nauseous. Most subway stations here have no elevator, or when they do it's out of service. So after a few attempts of using those, and my boyfriend telling me he saw me almost pass out and looking pale like a dead body, I found this enough torture and told myself: "I am not using the subway, end of.." I mean we have trams and busses riding everywhere every few minutes, but whenever we leave somewhere together my boyfriend prefers the subway. Damn.. Luckily the subway near our house has an elevator, so the start is not that bad, the fun part when I start to panic or almost pass out is whenever we have to catch another one, I just hate it.. But fine, he won on the way there we used his transport, on the way home we are definitely using busses... compromises right?

There was a lot of waiting

As we first went to the company where my boyfriend works, I had to wait in the cafeteria downstairs with the little one. So I had a cup of coffee and bought a sandwich in the supermarket next door to keep her busy.. The waiting took pretty long, and I almost regretted that I agreed on going all together, as this waiting with the little one was the one thing I did not look forward too, and now we did not even arrive at the tax office yet. At one point I noticed we had only 50 minutes left to get to the office and hopefully not get send away as they were closing, my boyfriend said he was coming. Finally.. To our surprise the office was not that busy, and we had to wait like 5 minutes before it was our turn. Once at the desk the lady told me that the spelling error was because of an error on my address card (which somehow I did not notice before and no one has mentioned it either, see how good they do their job lol). She could not change it, I have to go to the municipal office today to see if they can, but probably I will have to go through the same trouble as my boyfriend two months ago, and get back to the immigration office for it. Which is not around the corner and always like 2/3 hours waiting. I will see today if they can help me, if not I will go to the immigration office next week early in the morning, to minimize the waiting as much as possible. But the good part is that my boyfriend could arrange the tax reduction part, and with this arranged he will also be receiving 2 extra days every year according to the Hungarian law for working parents... so at least we didn't go for nothing..

It was so hot inside

I kind of went crazy inside the house, so I said let's go outside have a walk, sit somewhere because I'm boiling lol. So off we went, had a drink somewhere and after a while walked a bit more. We were gone for a few hours, and on our way back we had a burger at mcdonalds. When we wanted to leave we were surprised with rain, not the normal drops of rain no here it is pouring rain, and you can almost swim on the street. Your shoes get soaking wet lol, no way around it. After ten minutes waiting, we decided to just walk anyway as we only had to walk straight ahead in our street.. It was kind of nice getting soaking wet lol. Back home daughter went into a warm bath and we were all good again..

So this was my second Ulog, today I hope to finish at least one of my unfinished drawings/paintings as shown on the picture above this post. Because they are lying around for too long in my opinion.. Have a great day!
