Today, I have lost my safety specs.
I am eating toffee popcorn at half ten in the morning. I have had three bowls of crunchy nut cornflakes. I eat sweet cereal when I'm sad. It's my chocolate substitute.
TGIF, eh? I didn't want to go in today. I did, anyway, and when I get there, I discover I don't have my safety specs. The only thing I can't do my day without, and I don't have them. I can't borrow them, because I need to go through the lab to ask around for a spare set. Catch-22. So I try to text. No network coverage. Message sending failed.
I have to go home. I'll get the bus. Three pounds down the drain for a ten minute round trip, but it'll save time. I don't have change. I walk.
Moment of truth, I arrive at the house. No sign of specs. I want to cry. I lie on the bed instead and stare at the textured ceiling and get up and make a cup of tea and now I am eating toffee popcorn and drinking tea at eleven in the morning.
I'll go back in half an hour. I'll have lunch. I'm not hungry, but I'll eat lunch. I'll go to the lecture. I won't listen. I'll try to sort out my goggles issue. I'll do it. I will.
Today is not a good day, for reasons known and then some.
Thunder only happens when it's raining.

My day so far has consisted of lying in bed and finishing my book (a book of short stories about robots written by Isaac Asimov, bought for my birthday by one of my friends), playing Worms for a bit and going to buy birthday cards. I'm about to wrap presents to go with said cards, then go to the hospital, then drive home for the weekend, where I shall shower (my first this week since monday, so looking forward to that. There is a reason btw, I don't usually go 5 days without showering. Usually it's at least 3... :-p) and then go to the pub. It's a hard life...
ReplyDeleteHope your day (and the weekend, in fact) gets better :-)
Where's that other, newer post I saw not 5 minites ago?!? I was going to comment an' all :(
ReplyDeleteFriday was a bad day for me, too. You know when you spend the whole day on the verge of tears something isn't right.
Apologies, fickle is as fickle does.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get new safety spex but it's the weekend now and I don't have to leave my bed, ever, except for this evening. And I had potato wedges and fun friend times last night, stmtm.
Also, no shower for five days? I can't imagine a worthy excuse.
Don't worry Flix, if it's the reason I think it is it is actually a good one, and I'm certainly one to advocate not-washing under normal circumstances!
ReplyDeleteThis.
ReplyDeleteI got new safety specs and hot chips on the way home. Life is good again. Stuff still not solidifying but you can't have it all.
ReplyDeleteAnd Dickie, I'll accept that reason, perhaps.
Ha, half of what is good in my life is potato-based. Ha ha, half of what is not good in my life is also carbohydrate-based.
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha, I am a loser.
