Did You Ever Just Have One of Those Days?

Did your ever just have ...one of those days?

Mine started out with bad hair. I washed it the same way, using the same products, and then dried it the same way, but somehow I created a poof of hair that seemed to increase in volume like a balloon that was being inflated with helium. Yup, final diagnosis...I was suffering from helium head. My cure? Spray the bejeusus out of it and call it a day.

Next...poured myself a cup of coffee, placed it on my center counter, or so I thought. A more accurate statement would be that I wanted to place it on the center counter, but only got it to the edge....result = shattered mug, and contents splattered everywhere. Went to get the dishrag from the sink, only to step a shard of the ceramic mug which pierced my heel, not enjoyable. (observation: heel wounds no matter how small produce inordinate amounts of blood)

Went to make my lunch, no luncheon meat, damn! Settled for peanut butter on white bread instead. Noticed in the fridge that there was a suspicious looking leftover that was beginning to resemble a science project complete with silvery fuzzy stuff growing from the sides, so I thought I should dispose of it before its smell had the chance to invade every other thing in the fridge. Because it was lumpy, soft and just plain gross, in a moment of sheer genius, I decided to flush it down the toilet. Not one of my finest moments. Not only did it not flush, but when the toilet overflowed, I was left not only with water, but also with the forementioned science project, now diluted, spread all over my bathroom floor. Yuk!

Needless to say, I was running late for work. I pulled on whatever seemed to be the cleanest, foregoing panty hose and heels for trouser socks and flats, grabbed my lunch, my coffee travel mug and out the door I went. What else could delay me from getting to work? How about a sheer glaze of ice on all of my windows? Totally unexpected for the first week in October. And where was my ice scraper? Oh in my basement. So I turned on the window defroster, rear window defroster and my hiney warmer seats (I do enjoy those)and waited in my driveway until a clear patch appeared on my windshield. I am impatient so in my brilliance I used my windshield wiper fluid to help speed up the process, really bright of me, because as soon as it melted the heavier ice, it glazed over and totally obliterated that single non-iced spot that I had patiently waited for.

Yes, I was late for work.
