Ever had one of those mornings?

I got up this morning for masters swimming, forgot to load something into my truck that I was supposed to for work. That was OK as it wasn't vital for today. I'll get it tomorrow.

Swam HARD!! Then got out my single serving of organic chocolate milk for my recovery drink. You know, the little ones for kids' lunches that don't have to be refrigerated. I barely touched the straw to the aluminium foil when I remembered to shake. When I shook it, it spit up all over me. Dang I must have peirced the foil with my straw, right? Then I took a drink, tasted a little funny but I wasn't sure so I took another dirnk. Not only was it funny tasting, it was chunky!!!!:eek::eek: I nearly barfed.

So off to work. I'm leaning over the desk and my receptionist doesn't see me and almost pokes me in the eye with her pencil eraser.:eek:

Then the battery died on my video camera when I was trying to do video analysis with a running client.:o

Then at some point in the morning I manage to lose my shoes. So had to run around barefoot. :o Fortunately I work in a PT clinic so this kind of behavior is not totally unusual.

I wonder what the afternoon will bring?:rolleyes:

wow. most people enumerate one or two negative events and think they have it bad. take a deep breath, your bad stuff is over, the good will now begin.

Soon, you will laugh over today.

I think you got all your bad karma for the week out of the way today and the rest of the week will be excellent.

We all have bad ones. They make us appreciate the good ones.

hey Yoda - hopefully, none of your afternoon clients are reading this! :eek:

I agree w/Mimi...you're on the upswing now...(chuckling over new caveat tho: don't drink chunky milk?)
Tailwinds from here on out....
Mary

Or maybe it was really good karma 'cause they were all no-harm-no-foul things, except maybe the battery thing. There should be a regression to the mean shortly.

And other bad figures of speech.

I guess you have to laugh at it. Either that or go home and go to bed but I don't think that's an option :D

Sounds like an interesting day. I think a glass of wine when you get home is the reward. How long did it take you to get the taste of that milk out of your mouth? :eek::eek:

and yeah, I've had days like that

Actually, I've been laughing about it all morning. It started with the seriously grossed out looks on everyone's face when I tell them about the milk. I've pretty much laughed it all off.

And at the risk of jinxing myself...

my afternoon is going swimmingly so far

Glad to peer closely and see that last part...

Also, per Teigyr's suggestion and your DH's new access to the motherlode of vino...you have that to look forward to also, eh?!

Just think of it as yogurt. :cool:

Mmmmmmmm, chunky chocolate keifer. :p:p

That's our yoda! There are some (including me) who might complain and let the little difficulties weight them down, but yoda just laughs. :D
Sound like your butterflies are happy down there! YAY!

Hugs,
~T~

Hope tomorrow's better. :):)

May chunky chocolate milk be the worst that befalls you today.

That's exactly how I feel about it. It's really minor in the global scheme of things.

wait wait this is funny....
One day my husband blew out he's wrist, ripped his shorts in the crotch and had to duck tape them, got stung by a bee and hit himself in the knee with a pick axe! We were working around him at the time when the axe hit him, we all just started backing away from him.
He got a beer with dinner that night and said it was the best beer he had ever had!

This reminds me of a Kia commercial that I actually like to sing along to:o

I just can't seem to get it right today,
I just can't seen to get it right today.
Just can't seem to get it right today...
Guess I'm gonna give up

There is no chunky chocolate milk in that ad, though.

:p Hope your week improves Yoda!

I had one of those mornings this week as well. Hubby was away at conference and dog starts going ballistic at 5:30 am. I let her out only to have to get up again in 10 minutes to let her in. At this time I realize the big garage door has been up all night (the cat has a bad habit of tripping it). I pushed the button to put the door down, the dog is going nuts wanting to be fed so I turned to feed her and heard a horrible noise. Turned around to see the cat squished under the big door! So, at 6am (after my vet was terribly rude to me) I got my 11 yr old up and we rushed the cat to the University-Vet School ER room. Long story short the cat is alive and doing well. She had no broken bones but badly damaged lungs. She is healing and getting stronger every day, in fact today she seemed very normal again. Watch your garage doors closely with pets and kids. We've always been careful because she has such a bad habit of running under it at the last minute. This particular morning, I wasn't watching as closely as I should because I was sleepy and had a crazy beagle howling at my feet. It came completely down and was touching the floor, I still have that horrible image in my mind of the poor cat trapped under it. At least she is going to make it and hopefully didn't waste too many lives, she's 10 yrs old and doesn't have many lives left.

Yup but luckily not that often. Hope your afternoon continued to improve. I say should drink some wine either way - to celebrate a good afternoon or recover from a bad morning...:)

that is terrible to hear- but amazing the cat is okay.

Thank goodness the kitty is OK. How frightening!! And yet, how amazing!

Oh the poor thing! We had the same thing happen with one of our cats years ago. She had a badly bruised back but at first, I was worried that she'd broken it. We changed the sensitivity of the sensor so it comes back up right away if it touches something. I was horrified that it could have happened to a kid...

I'm feeling sorry for myself today because I'm home sick with a bad cold I felt I could have avoided, but the chunky chocolate milk really made me laugh here. Thanks :D

But poor cat :eek: Isn't that horrible when that happens! I say "when" not "if", 'cos having had cats all my life I know they are perpetually getting themselves intp bad places. I grew up learning to jam my foot into a slamming door, in case there was a cat there. No wonder they have 9 lives - they need them.

Wahine - I hope there was no chunky chocolate milk for you this morning.:)

mupedalpusher - Whew, I'm glad your kitty made it out. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery. Remind her that she may have 9 lives I but her mama doesn't.;)

You are so right...my hubby has returned from his trip and is planning to change the door sensitivity. He put some items under the door tonight and it basically crushed most of the items so it's obviously too hard. We don't have any small kids but I sure don't want the cat or our beagle to get in it again. We had assumed it would pop back up...guess the lesson is that everyone test their doors and don't assume they are sensitive enough.
