Theme for the day:
I am an idiot.
Dropped my bagel on the floor this morning. Through some miracle, it landed butter side UP, amazing. However--
I went to one bank drive-through to take money out. G. got a lollipop, couldn't remove the wrapper. I pulled the wrapper off, and the lollipop fell on the floor of the car, eeeuw. Under my feet, where I can't reach it, had to get out of the car to get it. I'm not going to say whether G got it anyway or not. Then--
Three hours later, I go to the other bank drive-through to put the money in. After I fumble putting the stuff into the drawer, almost causing the teller to close my hand in it, I then fumble the receipt, which falls out throught the bloody CRACK between the front and the body of the drawer. Onto the ground. I open my car door into the side of the building...which leaves me about 6 inches, can't reach it...fortunately there's trash all over the car, so I find a straw and use it as a retrieval system. After several attempts and a muscle spasm from the way I was contorting, and people behind me getting ready to honk their horns, I got it. In the meantime--
I called the Chinese restaurant to order my lunch, and I swear the guy said "China Gourmet" so fast when he picked up I thought I had the wrong number. When I checked to make sure I had the right number, the guy laughed at me, told me it was the China Gourmet, but then said, "McDonald's, may I help you" with his Chinese accent, you know, and continued to rib me about it. And when I got to pick up my food, the guy waiting on me goes "were you the one on the phone?" Yes, yes, that was me, the ya-ya.
My question is: Should I have gotten out of bed this morning?

on the other hand...
Feb. 3rd, 2004 04:06 pmI just got, no shit, seven fortunes in my fortune cookie.
Seven, which is a particularly interesting number.
1."Someone is spiaking (sic) well of you." (ahem.)
2. "You will take a chance in something in the near future." (I'm Raiders of the Lost Ark and JFK, of course I'm going to take a chance on something.)
3. "Wish you a long life." (times two) (does that mean I get two long lives?)
4. "The only way to have a friend is to be one." (or be rich)
5. "God will help you overcome any hardship." (oh yeah? Where's he been today?)
6. "You are going on well with your business." (what does that mean, exactly?)
So, maybe things are looking up. I mean, none of them are that exciting, still, seven must mean something.
