there'll be days like this

how's my day been, you ask?
 
i had a therapy appointment before work.  left the house an hour early, got there on time (always a WIN) and made it to work on time.  a decent day in a good week.  i love selling books.
 
i had my worst cash register discrepancy ever.  finally figured it out but i was work an extra 45 minutes.  there went my walk.  by the time i got home it was well after 8 i was starving.  at this point my day is 2 hours longer than normal.  inside and NO POWER!  did i pay the bill?  i thought so but i had NO POWER.  i called.  yes, i paid PART of the bill but not all the bill.  hottest day of the year so far, pug inside, NO POWER.  winston the pug was hot and i was mad.  i paid the $189 over the phone but now i can't pay my mortgage.  that's next week so i won't worry about it tonight.  (just call me scarlett!)
 
i was warned that it may take up to 4 hours for the power to be restored.  remember, i was starving and all i had that didn't have to be cooked was a banana.  that wouldn't do.  only had $5 and the closest place to get food is mcdonald's.  remember i'm a vegetarian.  luckily the power was back on in about 45 minutes and i whipped up a quick dinner of couscous and veggies.
 
now i'm broke(r). and tired.  and i have to work a full day tomorrow at my store instead of the shorter day at the store i usually work on fridays.  luckily this house is small and it doesn't take much time to cool off.  oh, there was a big puddle of water in the kitchen where the ice melted out of the ice maker.  i almost fell in that which would have been icing on the cake.  i cleaned it up while i was on the phone with NES in a kitchen lit by my key chain flashlight.  
 
maybe tomorrow will be better.
 
grace and peace
