(a bowl full of candy. this is what my day was NOT.)
I wish all days would flip a 180 like today did. It started out as a no good, very bad day.
I was soundly asleep at 2:30 this morning, like most of civilization around me, when the Katiefriend decided her packing and preparation for a trip could be procrastinated no longer. I was awoken by the rumbling of my bed as the washer in the next room hit its spin cycle.
It's a rather vicious spin cycle.
Couple that with the bright hallway light beams streaming in around the door, a running shower, and rustling about with doors opening and closing...try as I might there would be no further shut-eye.
While I was all ANGRY BEAR about it at the time and for most of the morning, I can be reasonable once given enough hours to calm down and return to rational thought.
And I'm pleased to report that I'm over it now. Sometimes the Kyoo does dumb things. Sometimes the Katiefriend does dumb things. We move on and laugh about it later.
And so move on I did. Right to work before 5am. (new record)
I figured I might as well be productive while I was wide awake.
Those early hours in the office were seething. Nothing was going right with my code and I wanted to be in bed.
I couldn't stay awake during my later morning meetings.
And everyone was nagging me for this and that.
Hello people! I'm in bitter Kyoo mode! Headphones are on and human contact is to be kept to a minimum! All non-emergency inquiries can be postponed until Monday!
No one got that memo.
But then, after a lengthy walk with the Alishafriend, I commanded ABOUT FACE! And do you know what? The day listened, of all things!
I popped a handful of cinnamon bears into my mouth and felt sunshine return to the void. Then I got to spend the afternoon just chilling with a couple of my favorite pups. And the evening bike shopping with my Gregcyclist. (he's now the proud owner of a shiny new road bike, for the record).
But. BUT! The bestest of the best was coming home to discover that I, really and truly, had won a giveaway. On Nat The Fat Rat's blog, no less. (scroll right on down there and you'll see my measly entry...how i actually won i will never know). Nat's blog is a random one I read often because it's funny, helpful, and, honest to goodness, I can even get thru the more lengthier of posts while still enjoying myself and thinking "she speaks the truth!". Which is saying a lot.
And this time it done won me a beso limited "shopping spree" of sorts. I think?
I felt pretty stupid throwing my "dream" collection of compression running shorts, drymax socks, and a penquin biking jersey into the mix of collections with trendy clothes and spring kitchen must-haves, but it happened.
And it was worth it! Which got me thinking...maybe I should have purchased a lottery ticket this week. What with it being at $650 million and all...
(kyoo mom i am just kidding!)
Really though, why can't all bad days end like that??
(i must confess, the day did end with a little of that ^ too. but then, isn't that typical for a no good, very bad day?)
Have a great day :-)
