Grrrrrr.
My day began with yet another unwanted visitor in my apartment thanks to street drilling/construction next door. This latest event landed on my last nerve and has yet to depart. Surprisingly I did not phone and scream at my landlord, and calmly requested that they address the situation immediately. (as if.) I can feel the frustration growing exponentially inside me.
Later on I ventured out to pick up a present for someone and absentmindedly left the small shopping bag with gift tucked inside on a park bench. When I ran back to see if it was still there (which I knew in my heart would not be) of course it was gone.
It's not been a good Monday.
Tell me something funny, I want to laugh.
Update: 7/29
Funny was being out at dinner with a friend, watching as friend's car is towed due to unpaid parking tickets and as it was being towed away, the car's sensor kicked in and the alarm was wailing. I mention this to my friend who stands up, digs into his pants pockets for the car keys, pulls the keys out, points them in the direction of the car, presses the magic alarm-off button, and quite nonchalantly sits back down in his chair and continues eating his dinner.
I laughed all the way home.

Oh no! You'd think someone would have done the right thing and try to track you down.
Funny? Um, how about I just spent 3 days in the hospital because I sneezed/coughed and did major damage to my back. Wasn't funny at the time, but it is now. Kinda.

That story reminds me of my first husband on an outing to the coast. He was sneering at all the cars being towed away while eating in a restaurant until I said, "hey, isn't that yours?"
And it was.
It does make you laugh, Petal - a lot.

Well, Cindy, the good news is that we finally got the approval for my surgery! Wish it'd been before this happened, but I'm taking what I can get when I can get it.
I hope the rest of your week has improved.
Just remember these words of wisdom when things take a bad turn: never swallow your gum. You'll end up blowing bubbles out your butt every time you fart if you do.

Joanie - yay (on the approval.) When will it happen? As for the rest of the week, was fine. Just a wacked out Monday... seemed that July was full of them, but now July is GONE GONE GONE!!
Maybe August Mondays will be better. :-)
Loved your words of wisdom :-)
