Pains, Pet Peeves, and Lucky Days

Today.  January 9.  It was not only a Monday, but it was a Rainy Monday!  This fact made me extremely determined to have a great day seeing as these two rarely ever mix.  So here it goes...


Pains:
This morning as I was fixing my hair, I burned my ear.  Now, I do the same thing every single day and hardly ever do I burn myself.  This was definitely because it was a rainy Monday, in my opinion because later, I hurt my wrist!  I thought to myself, "Is there a mirror I broke and didn't realize it?  Did I walk past a black cat?"  I even ate my blacked eyed peas this year! (For those of you who know me, that is a first!)  I just couldn't figure it out.


Pet Peeves:
I, like most people, have a lovely list of pet peeves, things people do that drive me absolutely crazy.  Things like interrupting, chewing gum, driving below the speed limit, etc.  Today, however, I was reminded about another one that had slipped my mind:  Taking up TWO parking places.  Really?  Do you really have to do that?  Its absolutely ridiculous!!  Luckily I was not affected by this poor driver's parking inability, but I was angry for the poor girl who couldn't find a parking spot so she could get to class!


Lucky Days:
Now I don't know if I would necessarily call this luck.  Today I finally faced the fact that I was completely out of food and needed to go to the grocery store.  I hate going to the grocery store, but when you're hungry, what else can you do?  So I got to the grocery store and I'm walking up and down the aisles filling up my cart with various things that I can eat that will last for more than one meal.  When it came time to checkout, my least favorite part, I was bracing myself to pay more than I wanted to.  But then, after scanning all of my items the grand total was only $20!!  I can't even tell you how exciting that was for me!  (I will be eating off of this food until February, awesome!)




So regardless of the pains and pet peeves that I had today and the fact that it was raining, today turned out to be quite rewarding. And I even got to enjoy something other than leftovers/PB&J for supper, pizza! Yummy!  Point is, when you're having a down day, don't give up! It can still turn out to be just fine!
