Rain Drops Keep Falling

Wow. Really? I'm unfortunately having a heck of a time lately. This morning I woke up to dreary, rainy weather. My day is quickly following suit. In addition to needing to fix the car which requires service at the dealer for coverage under warranty and the nearest one being 7ish hours away which, of course, is closed for the holiday weekend. (yes, that is one sentence) I checked my e-mail and had one from my soon-to-be anatomy professor informing me that my lab will be from 9-12 on Wednesdays instead of 1-4. I had already been contacted earlier in he week about which schedule would better suit my preference and I chose the lab later in the day. Apparently offering the choice was like giving a gift Indian-style. My next email was from a job opportunity I had been contacted about (mentioned in an earlier blog). I had simply wanted to keep in touch and re-express my interest considering I hadn't heard anything for some time. The reply was pretty straight forward. I don't have enough experience "but thanks for your interest". This is so not what I wanted or needed to hear. I hadn't had my hopes up high for this job, but the money and hours would've been helpful while taking classes again. Next I decided I would prepare my husband's favorite sandwich for lunch. I put the garlic bread in the oven to toast. After it was done I realized we are out of lunch meat. So, I have successfully prepared two slices of Texas toast garlic bread. Go me! Further down the menu, for dinner, was easy chicken pot pie. The trick is that it's much easier to make it when you remember to take the chicken out of the freezer! Ugh... I get to this point and I have to laugh. You see, Jeff and I have decided to add an exercise of sorts to our daily routine and, by extension, our relationship. We will set a goal for ourselves each day and simply try and succeed with it. I have to laugh because the goal I chose for myself is: "I will try harder to not complain." what a day to test that one. But I suppose that by simply listing all the little things going wrong with my day it doesn't necessarily qualify as complaints, right? And really, I suppose, these things are quite minor. Just not what I wanted to wake up to. But can I just end by saying: go figure that Jeff bought that particular car 6 years ago-the one whose dealership is the only particular one NOT in Rapid City with ALL the other ones! Just sayin'.
