BAD DAY

Daniel Powter.  James Blunt.  Fuel.  These are just a few of the multitude of musical acts who have written songs about having bad days.  I can definitely relate to them now.  So far, this week has been pretty crappy.  Really there are only 2 reasons why, but they totally ruin it for me.  The first- my toe.  Yep, big toe, right foot.  I don’t know what happened to it.  Imagine you cut the nail too close to the cuticle, what happens?  Your toe becomes red and swells, and hurts like nobody’s business.  Well, that’s where my toe is.  Only problem is, I didn’t cut the nail!  At least I don’t remember cutting it in the last week.  Riding the elliptical yesterday morning hurt, because all my weight is on my toes when I do it.  Walking on these big rocks hurt it.  Pushups today, I had to cross my feet and put my right over my left.  That’s the only way I could do them.  Hopefully it’ll get better soon. 

Next, my laundry.  Here, we have a laundry service that has a 4 day turnaround.  Put it in a laundry bag, put your combat signature (Last initial, last 4 of your SSN) on it, fill out the slip and turn it in.  They put the white copy in your bag, give us the pink copy.  No problem.  Bring the pink copy back in 4 days, get your laundry.  No problem, right?  WRONG!  I turned my laundry in last Thursday, and returned Monday to get it.  Not there.  They said come back tomorrow (Tues).  Ok, I did.  They handed me a bag.  That was my laundry slip in there, but that wasn’t my bag, or my clothes!  It had somebody else’s combat signature on it!  How hard is it to read?  I gotta go back today and pray they’ve corrected it.  If not, I gotta buy 2 sets of pt’s and a new bath towel.  Irritating? Yes!  Common problem?  Unfortunately, yes.  Oh well.  It can only get better now, right?  I hope! 

until next time…
