Can I get a redo?
So today started out kinda suck and seems to be on a determined downhill slide.
Events (in order of occurrence):
Woke up 2amish with a blinding headache (not a migraine, but still bad) and a full bladder. Both demanded immediate attention. Took me another 30 min for the meds to kick in before i could get back to sleep.
Got out of the house a few minutes later than intended. Since I was driving to work today, this meant that I wound up behind a grand total of 3 school busses. My 30 minute drive became a 55 minute drive.
I got to work to see an irritated email exchange that is going to result in more work for me. Normally, I wouldn't care that much, but I've been receiving new projects at a rate of 1 every 3-5 days for the past 2 weeks. And these are not small projects. Needless to say, my work cup floweth over.
Received a personal email. My step-dad's father passed away last night. Didn't know him well, but my step-dad and I get along very well, so I am very sad on his behalf.
To distract myself, I went web-surfing and found a rubbermaid outdoor storage locker that would fit our bikes, garden tools, and everything else I want to have a place for for 150$. I didn't immediately jump on it, however, and a few moments later, they had sold their sale stock and it was priced normally at 350$. (May seem like a small thing, but after the previous, it felt like a bigger deal than it was).
Later on today, I can look forward to my best friend going into surgery, and going to a open house for a graduate program I have been having an internal war with myself over. I'm sure today will throw several more nasty surprises at me, when it rains it pours after all. So I'm just going to (metaphorically) tie everything down and hope to get through today in one piece.
