There are good days for getting out of bed and there are OTHER days.
Friday was An OTHER DAY. Saturday was no better. Today I planned to stay immobile.
It started with a new little lamp .
I plugged it in but then couldn’t find the right bulb.
Then I spent 2 hours trying to get AM on an AM/FM radio
Walked from room to room, plugging and unplugging and waving around the FM antenna. Went online in a search for accessory antennas. No luck. FM is great but the radio was purchased specifically to listen to Kim Komando (AM) for updates on technology.
O.K., then I opened a breakfront cabinet door and the handle fell off.
Went to reattach it but the bottom of the screwdriver fell off too. Both are reattached but shaky.
Then a little lizard approached me in the living room.
I tried to steer him out the back door but he is now living somewhere in our kitchen.
I forgot to bring in the hummingbird feeder last night.
Thankfully the Three Bears did not return.
Water, Water Every Where
Don’t know why but I was driven to lift the toilet tank lid in the guest room “loo” to see if all was well but something strange popped up. I turned the water off (smart huh?) and called handy husband, Bill.
Bill reattached “the valve” and turned the water back on. But surely because I was standing nearby, there came a gushing geyser of spouting water that flooded towels on the rack, the rugs, the floor, and Bill before we could get the water back off.
Called the plumber but there has been no reply.
Now today a nice neighbor asked me to call the telephone company for him to repair his dead home phones.
I followed through, but politely wished him luck.
He obviously has no idea about “Other Days.”
OMG! I get those too. They run in cycles. Nothing goes right even though I keep saying, “Ok that’s it! Nothing else wrong will happen.” Ha! It has to cycle itself out and then the good days start again. Here’s to more good days.

Poor you! What an awful day you had! Everyone has a bad day every now and then, but I don’t think I ever had so many disconcerting things happen in a single day. I hope you have 30 stunningly wonderful days to make up for it.

I’m reminded of the country saying “if it weren’t for bad luck I’d have no luck at all!” Here’s wishing you many good days to make up for it.

OMG !! What a disastrous day for you Dora. We have those sort of days now and then, John more than me actually. He loses his temper whereas I say lets go out for a while, either for a meal or a drive and come back to deal with problems . Of course I don’t mean if there is water flowing everywhere. Hope your week will be disaster free.

When I have days like that — sometimes it feels like weeks!! — I’ve trained myself NOT to say, “What next?” Because something more is always coming down the pike. Hope your days improve!

Seems lots of us have ‘other’ days when everything seems to go wrong – we call them ‘bad’ days but things could always be worse. Gotta check my horror scope – er ‘horoscope’ now. I may need to lay low or hide.
