As the saying goes, the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. It's certainly applicable for me today since I arranged for a babysitter, carefully planned a day out, and then woke up at 5 a.m. miserably sick. So rather than enacting all my plans, today has been about lying in bed and binge-watching The Crown on Netflix.
And I still had to pay the babysitter, who, to my great surprise, has a 24-hour cancellation policy.
