aN oFF DaY...

Today was the very definition of an off day. Woke up early and still managed to be scrambling for the bus that turned out to be late. It was sunny as I scrambled and started snowing just as I crossed the street to wait. I got carsick on the bus (amazingly this has never happened before). Once in town I headed to the Lanntair (the local arts center) to get some lunch and hang out before my dreaded driving lesson. I choose to go here because they have nice tables and free wi-fi. Today it was drafty and the internet was down, but since it was cold and I was lazy, I stayed put until my driving lesson...which turned out to be canceled. Although most of me was ready to jump for joy, the reasonable part of me reminded the rest that I only have 5 more weeks until my driving test...doom.

Since I was free now until 3:30 I decided to head to HS1 (another restaurant) to have a hot chocolate served with some of their free wi-fi...which was indeed working, yay! However, it wasn't long before my computer ran out of juice :( Apparently I'd spent too much of it's power waiting for the wi-fi to work at the Lanntair.

With more free time on my hands, I decided to give myself a driving lesson. I ended up in 3 culdesacs and ran a red light.

Next up, my Gaelic conversation class! I LOVE my Gaelic conversation class. Today I HATED my conversation class, and was watching the clock the whole time. When I finally got to leave for my Ulpan class, I was out like a shot. I ended up at the college a little early...just in time to eat my dinner, perfect. Until I headed inside and found that not only was my class in a different room, but everyone was early that day. Overachievers...

After class I had a few spare minutes before I had to pick up my roomie, so I headed to the grocery store. I grabbed a few non-necessities and found my check-out line. The man in front of me had a cart full of bags of flour and breakfast cereal. Like, those were the only two items he had chosen and the cart was FULL. Needless to say, I had a bit more time to mull over my day.

On my way to pick up my roomie, I decided to try once again at a bit of driving and...can you guess? Yes, I ended up in another dead end...I really seem to have a nose for those culdesacs.

Once I was finally home, I breathed a sigh of relief, looked in the mirror and realized that my shirt was inside out. Oh dear...

(((HUGS))) I'm laughing, but not AT you...definitely WITH you! I've totally had days like that! Mine usually also involve some kind of bodily fluid from one of my children ending up all over me. LOL

Hang in there! Tomorrow's a new day! :o)
