What A Day

Today was one of those days. You know, the one where nothing can go wrong? It's been a hell of week. I noticed that my inventory for today and scheduling was next to none. I went in with an extra pep in my step [which was to be short-lived]. Later on, I had one of those awkward moments when you open your mouth, spill the beans only to find out that person has no idea what you were talking about. It went downhill from there.

Just a little history, I'm one of those people who will beat themselves up time and time again for a mistake. Simple, honest mistakes. I don't know why I'm like that but I am and it's a horrible feeling because you constantly beat yourself up for some of the dumbest things. Anyway, 3:30 came and I ran out of the office as fast as I can. I made my 30 minute drive home with my slip-up fresh on mind.

When I made it home, I realized my new shampoo and conditioner had been delivered. Shampooing my hair is like a dreaded task for me. I decided to punish myself for opening my fat mouth by shampooing my hair. It was every bit of hell that I remember from the last time. I get that done, put some conditioner on and while I'm letting it sit I decide to catch up on Facebook.

I came across a story of a woman who heard her voice for the first time. It had me in tears. It also made me realize how small my problem is compared to bigger problems in the world. I already knew this of course but I needed something to wake me up. It may sound idiotic but watching her hear her voice for the first time really made my day better. Despite the foot going in my mouth and the self-induced shampoo torture, I'm smiling. Good day to you all!

Here's the video that changed my day from bad to GREAT: [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsOo3jzkhYA]
