Just whining today

SO Thursday was such a pain. Ended up locked out of the apartment after I left the key at work, but did not figure that out until after the buses stopped running. This is especially frustrating since I specifically removed the key from the car key ring just so this would not happen. On top of that, I was frustrated when the after hours emergency number never called me back. So I trudged approximately 14 miles in a shade under three hours. On the one hand, that is good exercise and, after it started hurting about 8 - 10 miles in, tremendous tenacity to get where I was going.
After all, many things I will do, but miss or be late for work is not one of them.
So I got to work about 3:45 or 3:40 and basically laid out on the floor and sletp until 7 when people started to arive. It was such a long day. I never left my desk until well after 3 in the afternoon, it just hurt too much.
Naturally, my wonderful friends, several of them, are upset I did not call them, but I just am not wired that way. I hate relying on other people. And I never want to be a nuisance. But after Thursday night and Friday, I am rethinking that.
So I got the car back after work. It was pouring down rain when I was going to get it. You know that stupid, and to me remarkably unfunny sight gag where someone, typically the "villain" of the picture, is walking by a mud puddle and a car drenches them? Yeah, if I didn't think it was funny before...I had my Spanish textbook in my bag. That was not a cheap book. $100.25 cents, to be exact. Well, it was on the side of the bag closest to the road when a car pounded through a puddle and drenched me even more thoroughly.
Anyway, got the car, drove home, and planted myself on the sofa. I was hoping I would wake up healed.
No, still sore today. I am thinking IF I go out at all, it will be just once. I am even thinking of skipping the hockey game, and that would suck because I love hockey and it is the first game of the season.
On the bright side, I, during my walk, learned most of the 121 new words from chapter one, so I should be well prepared for class Monday.
Oh, wait, no I won't...the "access key" to do the online quizzes?
It is locked in the building at work. Nobody will be there until Monday. So I won't be doing the quizzes. Grr. Bah humbug. I am off to steal Chirstmas. Oh, wait, that is a few months away. I think I will ruin Halloween instead. I am off to pass a moratorium on bad, soulless, plastic 29.95 costumes for little kids. Maybe this year instead of seeing 47 Chicken Littles we can see something original.
