Should have stayed in bed!

Oy. It's been one of those days. It started with me missing my bus by about 20 seconds because the gall darn driver was 2 minutes early. That really steams me, and it sure isn't the first time it's happened. So I walk home and sit in the back porch and wait there for about 5 minutes on the off chance that Brad might come back from walking Jasper and be able to drive me to downtown to catch my connecting bus. He doesn't show, so I take off my big clunky winter boots (believe me, one needs big clunky winter boots around here), take off my coat and sit down at the computer. No soon than I do so, do I hear him come in downstairs. Long story short, we clamber back into our winter gear and he drives me downtwon where I do catch my connection.

Work was a whirlwind, and we are still trying to catch up for the snow day we had off on Monday. To top that off, we had a meeting this afternoon that was more blah, blah, blah...

I decide that I am going to take the early bus home at 4:17, bike, and make dinner for my sister, who has been at the hospital all day. (God damn idiot nurses left mom's Nitro patch on again last night! I really am going to sue that hospital. Canadian health care at its finest!)

In any case, I go out to catch the 4:17, and I wait, and I wait, and I wait... It's a no show. I figure it was another freaking early driver and stomp down the street to buy more lotto tickets. When I catch my regular bus, that driver says the reason the other bus didn't show up was because of an accident. A likely story!

I did however make a great salad for sis and I (Brad had to go out), which we just finished...

Now I think I'll turn in early!

And I thought the public transportation system in Las Vegas was bad. Actually, it could be worse. How I miss the efficient Munich subway system. We hope your mom feels much better.

Don't you just hate those days when it seems everything you touch turns to shit? Hope tomorrow is 100 times better!
