Bad Hair Day, Part 3

September 17, 2008, Part 3...Trying to regain my composure and improve my mood I headed to the FedEx store. I missed them yesterday when they tried to deliver my new cell phone. Once I got there, after having some difficulty finding it, the attendant tells me they do not have the phone because they try three times to deliver to the house. Since this was only the first attempt, they were going to try again. So I did not need to be there. No where on the paper they left on my door did it say that. Sooo I smile and gave the permission needed for them to deliver without me home.

I get back in the car and having not been rude, not yelled at anyone, not cried and just plain holding in all that emotion from the earlier part of my morning, I decided it was ok to let out a few tears and I did. I thought I would feel a lot better if I went for a run but the hairstylist suggested not to wash my hair for 24 hours (she gave me a conditioning treatment because my hair was so badly damaged). Later, I opted for an adult beverage.

Amazing, the things we deal with, the people we encounter, the frustrations we go through. I was telling my local friend (the one who teaches pole dancing and who runs with me) about my day and she says to me she can top that. She had just left the doctor to have her injured foot reassessed and he told her she had to be completely off it for 4 more weeks. I thought well that is worse and is much more difficult than dealing with the craziness I had in just a few hours.

So it is all relative. It still does not erase the fact that I still wanted to jump over the counter at that lady. However, I can look back, laugh, and (tomorrow) put on my running shoes. Bad days can help us to regain our composure, step back and look at the bigger picture. I guess that is what separates me from a sociopath. Thank God.

Sooo:
1. My hair will grow back - I still look cute
2. I will pass the test, get an Oregon tag and license and I guess evolve into an Oregonian (I still think I'll always be a Floridian) and
3. I did get my new pink Blackberry pearl and I will become proficient in using it. I will. I will. I will.

HAVE A GOOD DAY!!!!

My new phone.
