From the eyes of a newbie one of thooooose days....
I love when I wake up Saturday morning around 8:30am well rested and with a list of things to do and a productive attitude. This was me this morning, but things did not go as planned...
After talking to everyone I know on the phone I was an hour behind schedule as I walked out my front door. With lunch plans two hours away I had time for only one quick run to Macy's. I rushed into the department store on a mission to buy some make-up, but after waiting 20 minutes without being helped I locked eyes with a worker, snarled, and walked out to the parking lot empty handed, uhhhh. Late to lunch, my terrible sense of direction flipped me around so I was driving towards Cincinnati. Now behind schedule, now late, now another annoying event this morning to start my day.
Ok, so lunch is now crossed off my list, time to relax and regroup, just as soon as I remember how to get home....Finally I make my way home after a detour, a couple U-turns, and running one red light, I walk through my door, stub my toe, drop my coat on the hairy carpet I was suppose to vacuum this morning, let my dog loose in the lobby as I grip my throbbing toe and slam the door behind me. I go to get a glass of orange juice when it comes to my attention there are no clean glasses, nor any orange juice. This would call for a stress relieving work out, so I grab my comforter to throw in the wash before I head to the gym when I realize I don't have any quarters I throw it back on the bed angrily and look for my tennis shoes. Of course I can only find one shoe, and at this point my hear rate is so high I want to scream at the top of my lungs when I remember on the third noise complaint you get a fine so I bit my tongue until it bleeds and I collapse on my dirty hairy comforter.
Now, sitting in Starbucks with a chocolate chip cookie, green tea, my hairy workout clothes and two different tennis shoes I have realized that everything in life is ridiculously annoying and hard and I should expect that. When things work out smoothly I should be surprised and thankful.
As I try to let the most annoying day ever roll off my back I hope his is one step closer to that thing call patience-maybe a glass of wine can help relax my nerves tonight.
