let me count the ways

All the reasons today was an awful day:

• It rained a lot.
• Traffic was awful.
• My bus this morning hit a sign on the freeway, obliterating the sign and cracking the bus's windshield. I had to fill out a "accident witness" form and catch another bus in the rain.
• Shane and Wesley got in an accident. A guy towing a car slid into them.
• My car's rear passenger fender is totally crumpled (our second accident in a year for anyone keeping score at home).
• They were on their way to a speech therapist appointment for Wesley, and the office called me at work to see if I knew where they were, since they were really late. Of course I immediately start freaking out. (For good reason, apparently.)
  
• Shane was on the phone this afternoon with the insurance people for two hours.
• Wesley refused to take a nap.
• Wesley finally fell asleep like two hours later and Shane didn't have time to do all the stuff he needed to do before close of business.
• I tried to help by getting on a bus and going home from work early.
• But it was still raining.
• And traffic was still awful.
• And the bus was really really late.
• In fact, when I got to the busy bus stop and started talking to people, they said they hadn't seen a single bus in 30 minutes, and their bus was at least 40 minutes late. (And sadly, they were still waiting when my bus finally came.)
• The bus was packed to the gills and standing room only.
• I exercised yesterday for the first time in a week and today every muscle in my body hurts.
• I've been working all week and I'm really really tired. I just want to collapse.

Can you believe this?

On a happier note, I had Seattle's Best Coffee Cocoa Trio today (with whipped cream, the best in the business) and Little Caesar's for dinner. A Little Caesar's just opened up super close to us and dangit I wanted it today. I think it's bad to drown my worries in hot chocolate and pizza but for today I don't care.

I hope your day was better!
