- My computer charged ALL night so it would be ready to put in its usual 6 hour day and I went to wake it up... and it wouldn't wake up. I almost cried. For real. (My computer is the closest thing to a pet I will ever have.) The battery died. It is 3 years old and puts in a hard days work every day so I wasn't too surprised! But a new battery cost $130!!!! Holy cow! Then they told me the soonest they could get it here was 4 days. That made me really want to cry! But the new battery came and we are back in business!
- I was going to lunch with a friend, and as we looked for parking downtown, a police officer started following me. I sat at the stoplight and we joked that they never have anything to do up here but pull people over for something ridiculous like turning too slowly. Not two seconds later, the light turns green and I turn left and... the lights go on. Yep, he pulled me over. Why? Because I have a tiny hole in my tail brake light that is "going to cause people to think I'm backing up." (Um... you cannot physically see the white light inside it unless you are looking at it from the far left side and BELOW the level of the light - yep, all those 4 yr olds on tricycles might be confused!!) He gave me a warning and told me I needed to drive straight to the store to get it fixed. $3.14 later, I slapped on a lovely piece of red duct tape and drove on my way... SHEESH!!
- When I got home, my roommate and I were greeted by a wonderful bubble of water pooling on our wall. Apparently someone stuck a nail through our sprinkler system upstairs and it was leaking into our apartment. The construction workers are now our friends, and after a week of having a drafty apartment (from the huge hole seen below), we finally are good as new!
The events of the day started out being very frustrating but by the time I was told to "keep an eye on our water bubble over night", I couldn't help but bust up laughing. (Yes Sir, if the bubble grows or moves, I will try and remain calm... then what?!?) It was a pathetic day, but quite entertaining!! And by the end of the day, I was reminded that really nothing went truly wrong and that like Sis. Hinckley said, "The only way to get through life is to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh or cry. I prefer to laugh. Crying gives me a headache."
Happy Laughing!!
