Disposing of small change

[mtbc]

Last night brought an unexpected but entertaining fuss. In bringing children home from Dungeons & Dragons we stopped at Tesco so one of them could turn accumulated coins into useful money. The machine charged its fee and issued a ticket that specified that it must be turned in to customer service on that same day.

That late in the evening, customer service is closed. I got the security guard to find a store employee who then found the keys to open customer service back up. They then had to struggle to find a till that would let them scan and redeem the ticket. It all got sorted in the end but was clearly a circumstance for which they ought to plan better.

It took me quite a while to get to sleep that night. I wonder if that was because I was doing stuff right up to the end of the evening. Although there is more that I ought to be doing each week, perhaps I do need to just wind down and relax for that last couple of hours of the day.

Yes, winding down time is essential for me. Otherwise I just lie there and think on things that I was just doing, which leads to things that need to be done, which leads to thinking of solutions to work problems.... and yes, a long time spent not sleeping.
