OK. This has been a miracle day for me. I have a guardian angel.
FIRST- I decide to wear jeans with a little hole in them to work. Tried to pull big garbage bag from trash can with my foot and the rip decides to multiply by 5. So there is a rip from my CROTCH to the middle of my leg. I had to leave work at 12 and be at school with a ripped pant leg at 12:20. There was nothing I could do, no extra pants, nothing. Then I saw Rachel come into work a half hour early just to talk and eat before she had to come in for me at 12. Needless to say, I got her to work for me at 11:30 so I could leave in time to run home, change, and then run to school. So number one.
SECOND - I went to my photography lab at 4 to develop my pictures I had taken of grandpa and kelli for my project. I was freaking out because I always freak out when I could potentially ruin something I worked so hard on in about 5 seconds if Im not careful, because I usually mess up. Anyways, there were only 3 of us there plus the lab person who was stepping us through the whole process. Well after putting in the developer and fixer and whatnot, we had to rinse them. Being the anxious person that I am, I decide that I am going to rinse it the way I think I am supposed to. So I take the film completely out of the reel and everything, and rinse it under the water faucet. I look at it and there is just nothing on it, it is clear see though nada nothing. My stomach sank to the ground and I was so upset. She said even though I did the process wrong in rinsing, there were just no pictures on it. I had loaded the film wrong. So I sulked in my car and called my mom and sister and told them what happened and they consoled me. Then I went to Dairy Queen with kelli because I had extra time before the actual class at night. When we went through the drive through and got our ice cream, the girl at window said thank you and then turned around to close the window, then leaned back out and said, GOD BLESS YOU!!! and it took everything me and kelli had not to start laughing so hard. It is sooo bad that I would start laughing for that, but omg it was so funny. I have no problem if someone says that, but im just thinking, DID I SNEEZE?? I dunno, I was just laughing the whole way home but felt so bad and still feel bad about laughing, it was just funny through a drive thru. Anyways, back to the story. I went back to class after that, and for some reason im all happy, I was singing really loud in my car and i ate ice cream and I am just feeling good. I was really really thirsty so I decide to gallop to the water fountain because walking is just too slow and running makes me look stupid. This big old black janitor is walking through, and he always comments on just SUCH random stuff all the time. and hes like, WHAT YOU RUNNIN FO?? and I just smiled at him and said, Im not running, Im GALLOPING!! He just laughed and said he was glad to see someone who was happy, and then i laughed, shrugged my shoulders and galloped away. THENNN...the lab girl comes running up to me and is like, ERICA I HAVE YOUR PICTURES!! and Im just like, uhhhh....WHAA??? This is what happened. Me and big red headed loosing his hair boy set our canisters of film next to each other, he grabbed mine, I grabbed his. He didnt load his film right and had no pictures on it. He did mine right and made a contact sheet for me. If i would have had my pictures, I would have messed them up completely when I was rinsing them. If he had pictures on there I would have messed up HIS pictures and felt even WORSE than if I would have messed up my own. He had no pictures on there and I messed up nothing, my pictures got developed perfectly. I am so incredibly lucky. I would have ruined my film! It just blows my mind how the bad suddenly turned good today. It really had the potential to be a bad day, but somehow it all worked out to be good.
Ok I think that was it for my little miracles. GOODNIGHT!
