THAT kind of day

It has been THAT kind of day.  A Monday thru and thru.  I haven't been sleeping well anyway, and last night was no exception.  But, I made it through the night.  However, my day started out with my foot finding a rather large piece of glass on my way to the shower. (Jordan had broken a glass last week.  Guess we missed a piece in the clean up.)  The chunk was stuck in my foot, making it painfully impossible for me to step on the area of my foot with the glass in it.  I got dressed and hobbled across the way to Mom's.  Mom and Chief were out on a little walk, but she came home when I called her.  However, neither of us could get the hunk of glass out of my foot.

Now, I was thinking, "Oh goody.  I get to the be first patient of the day at work again!".  Mom told me that the dr. was probably going to wonder about me.  Sigh.

So, I go to work.  One shoe on, one shoe off, and a hunk of glass in my bloody-ish foot.  I get to work and park my car.  Walk on my toes, to stay off of the glass, to the door.  Put my key in the lock.  And the key twisted and broke off in the lock. There I stood, wearing one shoe, holding one shoe, with a broken key in the door lock, unable to get into the building.

I was able to pull the broken piece of key out of the door lock, so that was good.  I stood there for a few minutes, basically amazed, not in a good way, about how my day was starting.  When the dr. got there, I was sitting on the ground, beside the back door, still wearing one shoe and holding one shoe.  He walked up the sidewalk, looking at me rather strangely.  I explained about the lock.  He went in his door and came around to open the door that we use to get inside.  I'll give him credit, he didn't even ask why I was only wearing one shoe.  (He probably didn't really want to know the reason for that one!)  Once I was inside, I did tell him about the chunk of glass in my foot.  I guess he figured that I'd survived so far this morning and I wasn't an emergency.  We waited until the nurse got there.  I did my morning things at work...... wearing one shoe and limping around.

The glass did get out of my foot.  It didn't hurt too badly.  Of course, I had to have a tetanus shot.  That hurt worse than the glass removal.  I was able to finish out my work day wearing two shoes and not limping much at all.

As soon as I got off of work I had to go straight up to get the boys, so that I could get Jordan back in time for his Dr. appointment for the pneumonia follow up.  We made it back to town just in time for that one.  And..... the xray was clear!  Pneumonia is all gone!!!  Yea!!!!!!  And Whew.  And Thank God!  He can go back to school tomorrow.  I told him to not ever do that again.  The dr. laughed at me.  And asked me how my foot was.  Sigh. 

After a quick stop at the grocery store, we came home.  I still had an important errand to run, but decided to sit down for just a bit before I went back out again.  Mom called and woke me up sometime between 4 and 4:30..... yep, I'd fallen asleep in the recliner.  I swear that that chair casts a spell over me sometimes.  Maybe I should just not sit in it so often!

Anyhow, I headed out to run that important errand.  Got to where I needed to go.  Went inside.  And realized that I didn't have the thing with me that I needed that would make the errand worth running.    I could not do what I needed to do without what I didn't have.  Good grief. 

So, the important errand that I needed to run didn't get completed.  I will have to do it immediately after I get off of work tomorrow.   I have already put the item that I need into my purse.  So I'll have it tomorrow when I go do what I needed to do today.

It's plain not a good sign of how the week may go when my Monday goes like this.  At least Jordan got good news, so that did help to negate the negative things from the day.  However, if you look at the calendar, you will notice that this week ends with a Friday the 13th.  My Monday the 9th included glass in my foot and a broken key.  I hope that I just got my Friday the 13th out of the way early and that Monday isn't just the beginning of the build up to Friday.   If so, I may never get out of the recliner again.  I'll be afraid to!
