A Day In The Life.....
Apr. 17th, 2026 08:02 pmWell, a couple of days.....
After sleeping pretty well earlier in the week despite all the appointments I had, Thursday I had to get up early.
I had a show, "Sleuth", up at the Guthrie Theater to see with my friend Neil,
mrdreamjeans.
First alarm went off at 3 pm. I laid there until the second alarm went off at 3:30 pm, and then I got up and started getting ready.
I opened the medicine cabinet to get my toothbrush, and a bottle of shiny gold nail polish fell out and shattered in the sink. It splattered every where.
I cleaned up some of it, but I had to get ready to get out on the road.
Uneventful drive up to the show, until I got to Minneapolis.
I was sitting at a red light and I was looking over at something on the other side of the intersection.
The *itch behind me laid on her horn. I flipped her the bird and drove on.
She whipped over to the middle lane of the road, pulled up beside me, and purposefully swerved into my lane nearly hitting me.
I slammed on the brakes and hit my horn.
She then pulled across two lanes to the far right side of the road and took off.
So that *itch didn't even want/need to be in the lane I was in.
If I had an old junker of a can, it would have been so tempting to swerve back at her and hit her. ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I went on my way to the theater.
The show was okay. I enjoyed the first act much more then I did the second act. So the second half was kind of a let down.
Thankfully the drive home was uneventful.
When I got home I headed for the bathroom and started cleaning up the rest of the spilled nail polish.
Some how during that process I managed to cut the tip of my right index finger.
Talk about sore and makes typing or really doing much of anything with that finger so much fun.
This morning I fell asleep on the couch shortly before bedtime. I woke up about 1 1/2 hours later and crawled into bed.
I woke up some time later and looked back at my alarm clock and it was blank, aka no power.
I got up to go find my phone and no power in the whole house.
I picked up my phone and there was a weather alarm showing. We had been in another tornado warning and hour or so earlier. :o :o :o
I set my phone alarm and crawled back into bed.
Eventually got up and showered.
Checked the mail box and one of the things I got was a graduation party announcement for a neighbor boy.
This is from the family who a couple of years ago when I was without a car gave me a ride to work a couple of times and then told me that this situation was going to work for them, and I started spending a fortune on rental vehicles.
I haven't spoken to them since and vice versa, and now I am expected to give their child a graduation gift?
So how has your day or two been? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
