When nothing goes right you….

If I had to give a report on my week so far it would definitely be a D-!! So many little things have been going wrong, that I just almost want to scream!!

When Monday comes around I always start sigh. Because I realize my weekend is now officially over. On Monday the traffic was light and I was on time for work. Little did I know that this week was going to entail some hiccups!!

I arrived at work and as soon as I got out of the car my watch broke. I have no idea how it managed to fall into pieces. But it certainly amazed me with much disappointment. Later on I had to go to the bank to deposit some money. It was 9am and I did not realize the bank does not open till 9.30am!! Luckily Gloria Jeans was near by to help me use up my half an hour. I was hoping to have a quiet half an hour, but to my surprise, there was a mother’s meeting with their children running and screaming. It was absolute mayhem in Gloria Jeans. But I was glad that my half an hour passed really quickly. I did what I needed to do at the bank. As I left I realized I forgot to withdraw money. I went to the ATM outside, unfortunately the screen was displaying – “Sorry the ATM is temporarily unavailable”. By now I was thinking, this is definitely a bad start to the morning!! I had to go back into the bank and line up again. Afterwards I headed back to the office feeling quite satisfied I had completed my chores for Monday. As I was heading back I realized the brooch on my jacket had fallen off. I was looking for it everywhere. Wondering if I need to walk back to the bank to find it, or even wonder if I will ever find it. During my frantic state my brooch some how fell out of my jacket and onto my hand. I call that pot luck. I should have gone for the lotto that day!!

For most of Tuesday I sat there at my desk in pain. I was so sore from playing soccer the night before. Who would have thought 40 minutes of running around, would lead to pain in my legs, bum, and ribs. Every movement and emotion that involved moving a muscle felt a bit too painful to bear.

Mayday Wednesday!! The M5 was closed both ways!!!! What should only take 45 minutes took well over 2 hours getting to work! This was just a disaster!! What can I say, all you hope for in that situation is you better have a good radio station to stop you from going insane! I survived my 2 hour journey!! The day went smoothly, and work was the same old. Just only tiny glitch! The boom gate at decided to not work. So again this became yet another distressing moment for me!

I ask myself, why all these dilemmas are happening this week. Maybe it is punishment for something unknown reason!!

Pay day Thursday!! Wahooo I say! But of course what else could go wrong after my week of mishaps. A stiff neck! Yes, I some how twisted a muscle in my neck and now I cannot turn my head to the left with out making some sounds which show the amount of pain I am in. Bargh!!

I realize now, when nothing goes right, you just have to sit back and sigh for a moment. Then you just keep thinking the next day will be better.
