Friday was just one of those days from – you know where. But upon reflection I realized that I really do only have myself to blame.
I was super tired when I woke up; I had taken a math test the night before which for me was pretty stressful. As I went about my usual morning routine I realized that I should get the trash out of the house as it had started to stink. I had scheduled for a salesman to come over after work to test the water and see about getting a water treatment system.
This is where the day started downhill, faster than an Olympic downhill race.
I had put my travel mug of coffee, and my glass of milk into the divided wine tote, that usually transports them to work quite nicely, on the counter.
That is when I decided to gather the trash.
As I am bagging up some loose items down goes the wine tote sending coffee spilling out onto the floor and spraying the dishwasher. I quickly pick it all up and grab paper towels to sop up the large puddle of coffee and get that cleaned up. I thought the Tervis tumbler with my milk in it was fine….key word thought. I went to pull that out and discover sadly that it was broken. It had been a birthday present from a couple of friends at work and I was saddened that it had broken.
Of course all this made me late for work, big surprise I know. I finished getting the trash out, left for work having decided to just stop and get some breakfast on the way.
I finally get to work a half an hour late and begin the rest of my day.
I emailed my teacher to find out the score of my test, I was not expecting a high grade as this chapter for me was difficult. I was disappointed to finally hear from him and be told that I had a score of 60, which is a non passing grade. Thankfully you get a chance to bring your score up by retaking it.
All of this being said, I really only have myself to blame.
Had I been more dutiful in taking care of the trash I would not have had to scurry and hurry on the way to work to get it taken out.
Had I been more diligent with studying for the test…I might not have to retake it.
I am so lucky to have my husband! He tried to cheer me up through the day, he called me and had his students wish me a good afternoon, and he ordered me two new Tervis Tumblers to replace the one I broke.
