You know it is always worse when it happens at the start rather than the end. If it happened at the end it would be on your mind for a short period of time.
It happened like this.
I cheerfully popped out of bed, a couple minutes earlier than normal. I strolled into the Jon where Charlie was waiting for me. Charlie likes to drink water from my first wife’s sink. As I reached for the faucet my arm came in contact with a glass plate, or something made of glass hanging on the wall. It fell and broke in at least 1000 pieces. I carefully cleaned up the broken glass, all the time needing my first cup of coffee. That is how it all started.
A couple cups of coffee and an equal number of hours later, I jumped into the Ford’s Chevy to run a couple errands. I wanted to go to the post office, the McDonalds for a coffee and also the cleaners to drop off some clothes. I decided to head for the coffee first, then the cleaners and finally the post office which would make the best use of time. As I left the Ford Homestead I noticed that the radio was not playing. I tried everything but it would not work. I could not get any sound and could not change channels. My phone would not work through the blue tooth. Not good, I will probably need to go to the Chevy House for repair.
Try as I may, I could not get the radio to work. I picked up my coffee and decided to go to the Chevy house for some repairs. That meant I would change my route and head to the post office first, then hit the cleaners on my way to the repair shop.
After visiting the post office I got back into the pickup. I started the motor and surprise the radio and blue tooth now works. That was good, but since I am not going to the repair shop I would not pass by the cleaners. Now I had to drive back to the cleaners, out of route. Waste of time and gas.
While at the cleaners, I decided to venture into Waco and possibly purchase an item. I pulled in to a parking lot across from the cleaners to see if I had my gift card. There it was, I removed it from my billfold and dropped it. It went somewhere between the seat and consul. I could not see it so I had to get out of the vehicle, open the back door and I found it part way under the seat. I thought, “This day is not going well!”
I got back in the vehicle and was trying to get situated when, I knocked my sun glasses off onto the floor on the passenger side. I thought, “What else?” Then I started laughing!
Sometimes things go wrong, big deal!
If that’s the worst thing that happens, it isn’t too bad!
