You know those days that everything just seems to go wrong? Those days where you should really just stay in bed because everything you try and do just won’t go your way?
This was my Tuesday.
My morning began with an irritating message about my car back home (seriously this car is a big pain in the ass!). Anything to do with my car lately stresses me out so this message instantly out me in a grumpy mood. Attempting to shake it off with some delicious coffee I headed to the kitchen only to look out the window to see our first snow of winter had arrived.
Awesome.
As I have yet to put winter tires on my bike (because it is still October and I am protesting snow until November!)I opted to leave my bike at home and take the bus to work. This meant that instead of the usual hour I have to get ready I now had 20 minutes to be out the door. Enter in panic mode with me rushing around dropping everything I touched and cursing the fact that the bus leaves so early.
I swear it doesn’t matter how much time I give myself to get ready, when I have to catch the bus I always find myself running to make it in time. This morning was no different, and running to the bus after the first snow with icy sidewalks is not fun. Add in the fact that I grabbed H’s hat, which is much larger than mine and with every step crept further over my eyes, I was a sight to be seen.
Thankfully I arrived to the bus stop with not one fall (success) and patiently wait for the bus to arrive. Of course the bus arrived ten minutes late which meant I missed my connecting bus to get to work. This particular bus only goes every 30 minutes so instead of fueling my anger while I sat in the freezing bus stop I angry power walked my ass to work.
As I made the final leg of my never ending work commute my annoyance at the day began to slowly faded away as I took in the pretty sites along the way. Looking around at the winter wonderland around me I debated, how early is too early to decorate for Christmas??
A beautiful yet annoying surprise to wake up to.
Once I had finally arrived to work I laughed off the whole morning and joked with my co-workers about my rotten luck. Right after I said this I opened my backpack to discover my lunch had exploded and was all over my bag. My lunch was salmon, let that smell sink in.
Just another day in paradise.
Question of the Day?
Do you ever have those days when nothing seems to go your way? When do you decorate for Christmas?
