Had a bad day..
From the second I left my house yesterday, I knew it was going to be a horrible day. You know when you wake up in the morning with that awful sense of foreboding, knowing it's only a matter of time until your day starts to fall to pieces? That was yesterday.
First of all, it was a Monday. Everything always goes wrong on Mondays. I get to work and realize that I forgot my makeup bag. Now, usually I don't have enough time to put on my makeup at home, so I just do it in the bathroom when I get here. But of course, the day my face decides to break out, I have absolutely no makeup with me. Great. Then, I'm sitting in my office kicking myself for forgetting my makeup when I find out that there's some strange gaseous odor hanging over the city and Jersey. I didn't smell anything myself, but half the office did. I didn't get nervous until they started evacuating buildings and such. It was just a little crazy, and all I could think of was that I wasn't wearing the right shoes for an escape plan. So I listened to the radio all morning long to see if we were going to have to leave. And although I would've given a lot to be back in my own bed, I don't get paid if I'm not here, so I was kind of afraid I'd have to leave.
Then that was over. I went to lunch with a coworker, which was nice because we hadn't caught up since I'd been back. Anyhow, I call Danny only to find out that he's failed two classes and may not be coming back next semester. His parents didn't want him to be in debt, especially if he's going to fail half of every semester. So that put a bit of a damper on the day.
Then I get home and go shopping with Caitrin, which was fun. The big Bed Bath & Beyond in Elmsford is great and always cheers me up. Then, the Dunkin Donuts we went to accepted gift cards. I thought the day was beginning to turn around then - but don't be fooled like I was. We went to Stop and Shop, were I get a call from Danny that he had to show his parents his grades, and he warned me not to be surprised if he called later to tell me he wasn't going back to SHU. So of course, my day starts going downhill again at that point. Cat & I rented a movie and settled down to watch it. Of course, another phone call from Danny. This time, it's to tell me that his mother got hit by a car. Yes, you probably should reread that at this point, because I had to have Danny repeat it for me. An SUV swung around the corner without looking first and somehow knocked her over and ran over her leg. They don't think anything is broken, but something is wrong with her ligaments though. I think...I didn't get many details.
Anyhow, I finished watching the movie and decided to just go to bed after that. No need to stay up - too much of a chance for something else to happen. I fell asleep so quickly, probably at around 12:30. So that's it, right? This part is funny, actually. I woke up with a start, thinking I had forgotten to set my alarm. For some reason my TV was on, but I didn't pay attention to it. I got up to use the bathroom, came back, and started trying to figure out what I was going to wear to work. I was also trying to figure out why I was so tired, since I'd gone to bed earlier than usual. I happened to glance at the clock, and what time is it? 2:36. I probably should've looked at it before I got up, but why would I bother to do something sensible like that? I realized that I must've rolled over the remote when I was sleeping, which turned on the TV, which woke me up. But it does explain why I was so tired.
Anyhow, that was my day. Hopefully today is better. I remembered my makeup and there are no odd smells in the city, so we're off to a great start as far as I'm concerned.
