This has been a day of small annoyances. Ever have one of
those days? Nothing big, just a series of minor irritations. I could blame it
on my blood glucose numbers which have been a little out of whack for a week or
so--probably because of Easter plus my sweet tooth. I could blame it on not
getting enough sleep the last couple of nights. Or it could be, some days I
just feel grumpy.
To start things off this morning I discovered I made a
stupid error in my column on Meridian and my editor didn't catch it. I changed
the title of one of the books I reviewed from Until Murder Do Us Part to Until Death Do Us Part. I
went grocery shopping and the store didn't have the brands I wanted of a couple
of items. My computer wouldn't save my WIP to my backup drive, so I had to
e-mail it to myself to be certain I have a back-up. Late in the afternoon I
decided I needed a break from writing (it wasn't going well). I accidently paid
a bill twice a couple of months ago and the store sent me a refund check. Since
I needed a new pair of jeans, I decided to use the check to buy the jeans, assuming
that since the check came from that store it would be accepted there. Besides I have almost enough points at that
store to pay for the jeans. I figured wrong. Not only did they inform me I
would have to take the check to my bank to cash it, but they couldn't even look
up my points. It seems that store requires customers to print off their account
data showing points from their home computers or use a smart phone to access
the points at the store. I bought the jeans anyway, but resent having to make
another trip to my bank to cash the check.
After all that, I was late starting dinner. Half way through preparations I realized I
was fixing both rice and potatoes. Maybe I should just go to bed. Surely I
can't mess that up.

Seems like we all endure less than lovely days at times. I call them character building moments. ;)Hope today is better.
