It's been one of those days. The kind when you are better off just staying in bed. When anything and everything that could possibly go wrong does. If I didn't know better I'd think it was Friday the 13th.
The day started off innocently enough. I needed to make a run to the store for coffee. Can't start the day properly without my coffee. Got in my car and off I went. The store was in sight when my car made a noise that I've never heard before. A thunk, squeal, THUNK noise. (Can you tell I'm not particularly mechanically inclined?) I did manage to get it into a parking lot before it completely died. I had it towed to the garage and I'm waiting to hear how much it's going to cost to fix.
So after I had the car towed I walked over to the store to get my coffee. The skies were really dark and I was hoping to make it home before the rain started. Yeah. That'll happen. I bet you can guess... I ended up getting soaked.
Dried off, changed clothes and made my coffee. Headed for the living room so I could check my email. That's when I noticed the dog with a guilty look on her little face. Two more steps toward the living room and the odor hit me. A simple accident wasn't good enough for the kind of day I was having. She had to step in it and then jump up on my couch and leave little poopy paw prints up and down the all the cushions.
I love days like this. (insert sarcastic eye roll here) The day did end on a high note, actually several, that more than made up for the rest. Some friends stopped by and we had an impromptu jam session. Nothing like good friends and good music to lift your spirits.

Getting through any day that includes the phrase "after I had the car towed" is no trivial thing. And having a rain-soaked out-of-coffee experience at the same time? That's just wrong on a cosmic scale.
Poopy paw prints are like icing on a devil's food cake... okay maybe I want to retract that one.
Yeah that last one was a bit much. LOL
