A Day in the Life

Like Brother, Like Sister

Yesterday, I left my coat at my desk, keys in pocket, while I rode with a visiting consultant to a job. We didn't get back to the office until after everyone else had left, so I had no way to get in, no way to drive, and no way to get into my house. I went out to eat with the guy, then had him drop me off at a bookstudy that had just finished. Even in such moments of dumbness, you never really get stuck as long as you got the friends. Since the place we were working was downtown, I just took the bus this morning, and all is well.

On the plus side, if I had made it back to the office on time, there's a good chance I would have been on the interstate when a sudden hail and blinding sunset resulted in more than 50 vehicles participating in multiple pile ups. Exciting stuff (no major injuries, so I can say that).

Today, my sister dropped her car off at a shop, ended up working late, called and they said they'd leave the keys in the car. A coworker dropped her off without waiting to see if she was ok, and she couldn't find the keys anywhere. It was the icing on the cake of a completely crappy day. She just moved a few weeks ago, her roommate is out of town, and she doesn't have the number of any of the friends yet, so she was stuck. The coworker that dropped her off happened to wander by hours later, and suggested that she look under the floor mat, where the key turned out to be. I don't know if my initial reaction would be relief or irritation. Can you feel both at the same time?

In other news, I want to scratch the stitches off my belly. Man do they itch. Since I guess that's to be expected, I suppose I'm recovering from surgery just hunky dory. Oh, and it turns out I actually had two hernias. Yee haw.
