One of those days

I woke up at quarter to five this morning for an eight o'clock eye appointment.

In all fairness I got there just on time, but the line was down the hall for checking in because only one receptionist showed up and all the over booked patients showed up.

I got in, had my eyes dilated and saw my doctor who informed me I needed some minor eye surgery. I remembered to take my heavy duty sunglasses and it was cloudy out so I could drive without too much trouble.

I went to a store on the wrong of town, near the interstates and it was forty minutes later when I got home and realized I had left my purse there in a shopping cart! My credit card, my debit card, my insurance cards and checkbook (which I usually never carry) were all at the mercy of whoever found my purse.

It took me nearly half an hour to get back there and the woman in the office said no one had turned a purse in! I practically begged her to say she was wrong and she finally said she'd check with other store personnel. It was locked in the office! Everything was still in it!

I drove back home and I just finished walking. It was no fun because my eyes are still dilated nearly eleven hours later!

This has not been a great day, but it was still better than Bestest's. He was stuck in Venice, Italy hoping Delta would get their computers up and running so he and a gazillion other people could come home.

Everything is still up in the air -- especially Bestest.
