Not my best day

This has not been a great day. As a matter of fact, it’s been a b**ch of a day. What started out as a great morning for me – up before 6, even went to church, then came home for a leisurely breakfast with no interruptions, then off to Sam’s to get new tires for my SUV. That’s when the rest of the day began.

While walking into the entrance via the tire shop, I slipped on an icy patch and went flying through the air, landing on my back, butt first. As Glen came to help me up, he nearly fell himself. The only positive thing about the fall was that it wasn’t on my side, otherwise, I would be in the hospital right now having a hip repaired. That’s #1.

Here comes #2. Reaching for my Sam’s Club card it wasn’t where I always keep it. A search (more than once) through the purse didn’t produce results. So, a trip over to Customer Service, where I reported the card lost. As soon as the card was “deactivated”, guess what I found in my purse. You got it. My Sam’s Card. Oh well, so now I have a new card. Didn’t like the old picture anyway.

#3. From Sam’s it was off to the dentist for my 6 mo. cleaning. I can’t decide which is worse. Falling, or having my teeth cleaned. It was time for X-rays. (I thought I’d done that the last time!) I declined. I’m watching every penny and no dental insurance. No breaks for cash customers. When my dentist reviewed my mouth, the news was not good. Two cracked teeth which will require crowns. $875 each. A few other minor repairs for a total of $2250. Not news I was looking forward to. I think I’ll go home and go back to bed for the rest of the day. Oh, no I can’t do that. I have to get to the office and pay some bills.

The office was a normal, crazy first of the month kind of day. But I was already so flustered from the earlier part of the day, nothing was easy. It hurt to sit down, it hurt to get up, and the hurt worked it’s way to my head with a headache like I’ve not had in a while. Thank the lord for excedrine. By the time 5 PM came I was ready to “get outa dodge”. One more thing to do and I’d be ready. I wrote a check, distributed stuff around to others, then, went to deposit the check. It was gone. I mean, disappeared, poof! No where to be found. I never did find it, so rewrote the check. I know it’ll turn up – just like my Sam’s card – but in the mean time, I feel pretty scatterbrained.

Think I’ll take a nice hot bath and go to bed. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day. (Sigh). Oh, just heard the weather report. More snow due tomorrow night and Thursday. The last snow hasn’t melted yet. This should be a great week end. Snow upon ice, upon more snow. Haven’t seen this much at one time since 1993. I’m thinking that the ground hog had it right this time.
