Today just isn't my day...

I'm beginning to think that today just isn't my day.

I've been fighting a headache, sore ears, and exhaustion for a couple days now. Then this morning when I woke up, it was like BAM! I now have ear infections in both ears. And to make it all the more fun, I also picked up a runny nose and a sore throat with a barking cough. I'm so dizzy that I can hardly sit up. Everything sounds like it's in a tunnel or a sea shell. (Insert whooshing sounds here.)

I got to work this morning and discovered that the fridge in the kitchen area had gone on the fritz sometime yesterday and there were towels everywhere with a note saying "Something might be wrong with the Fridge." (Really, what gave them the first clue... could it have been the massive amounts of melting ice pooling on the floor or could it have been the scent of spoiling food?) So, I got to spend a good portion of the day working on that problem. The microwave also went to the appliance store in the sky today. The oven is hanging on by a thread. Work itself went ok. No strange phone calls, only one meeting, and all my co-workers were in a decent mood. But, as I was walking out the door on my way to go home, I slipped on a patch of ice and splatted onto the ground.

So while I pray that no one witnessed my ice capaides, I take inventory of my new injuries. One sprained wrist...Check, One messed up knee... Check, possible hand fracture...still waiting test results! I'll know more when the swelling goes down. Good thing I still have the leg brace from when my other knee was injured when my car was rear ended. Luckily, no one was around to see me fall. I'm sure that the security guys will get a good laugh when they review the tapes from today.

I have to get a Christmas gift for my Grandma. After I find something for her, I'm all done with shopping. My mother suggested that I get Grandma what they call and "edible bird house." It's basically a wooden bird house covered with birdseed. Ok, I thought... That should fall into my price range and Grandma really would like that. So, I call all around town to see if anyone has one I can purchase. After a explaining what it was multiple times, I found one. Guess what. The one place here in town that sells them (And he only has one left) has them for $50. I was shocked. Heck, I'm in the wrong business if I can make $50 a throw just for sticking birdseed on a tiny wooden birdhouse. Back to the drawing board for Grandma gift ideas.

I'm going to take a pain pill or 2 and go take a nap. Hopefully when I wake up, the bad karma will have dissipated. Hope you all had better days than mine.
