Mar. 14th, 2013 12:12 pmYesterday was an infomercial day. Everything was much more complicated than it should've been. Nothing worked. I fumbled and tripped and got tangled in everything I got near. Murphy's Law or some voodoo curse was in full sway. And it had started out so well, too...
I had a to-do list and I was working my way through it. Then, I got to the paperwork packet from Summers County. Easy enough to fill out some forms, right? But one of them said I had to get a drug test within 48 hours of receiving said form or no go. That's where my orderly day ended. I called the local doctor, but he didn't do drug tests. They did direct me to an office 30 minutes away. I called to make sure it was ok to walk-in and they said to get there before noon. I scrambled to get ready for that and got two calls. One was a coworker asking me to cover for her the exact time of my appointment, and the other was the power company saying they had to shut off power for three hours to work on a pole. Yeesh.
Long story short, I spent that whole three hours driving to different hospitals until I found one who had seen the form I had before. And the weather changed from blizzard to sunny day at least a dozen times on the trip. I stopped at a Dairy Queen to get a mini- blizzard to celebrate getting the test done and surviving the weather-a-thon. It wasn't good. I have never had a blizzard of any kind that wasn't good. I declared the day unholy and went home.
The power was back on, but the cat tried to kill me as I crossed the kitchen. I'm used to stumbling over him, but this time he just wasn't able to get out of my way and I ended up kicking the poor idiot four times as I flailed across the floor. I admit the last one was just to get him out of the way before one of us was killed. He hid from me the rest of the day.
So far, today has been better!
