Aubrey and the NO GOOD, VERY BAD day

Yesterday was a no good, very bad day.
It began to the sound of my alarm clock at 7am (a disgusting hour for me) reminding me that I had a dentist appointment at 8 o'clock that morning. I got ready, and went to get my filling. This may seem strange, but I quite like going to the dentist... .probably a good thing since I plan to spend a lot of time there once I become a hygienist. Then (since my dentist is right next to where I work) I stopped by work to get a few things ordered for patients, and had the unfortunate luck of (after being "on hold" for about ten minutes), having my call answered by the grumpiest woman of all time. After making me feel a complete fool, she reluctantly ordered what I needed, and ended the phone call. I then was told my one of my colleagues,I would have to tell a patient, that their broken glasses would not be covered under warranty, and that they would have to pay for the repairs (being the bearer of bad news is never a pleasant thing for me).

A NO GOOD, VERY BAD start...

When I finally arrived back home, I decided to go back to bed and try to start my day over, but was greeted by my frantic Gramma, tearing apart the house, preparing for the visit of 8 of her grandchildren.
It was shortly after my room was cleaned and laundry done, that an event threatening to turn my day around occurred! My wonderful best friend showed up unexpectedly at my house! - however; we spent little time together before he spared my Gramma another stressful chore, and went outside to mow the lawn.

Two hours later, having previously not been able to eat with my frozen mouth, I was starving! I thought maybe a nice lunch would make me feel better, but no. Richard then informed me that he had to bring his truck home for his Dad to take camping - this made me even more upset as it reminded me that he would be gone for the next four days. So, after acting horribly to everyone around me, Richard had to leave, and I was left feeling angry, and wishing I would have apologized.

After I reluctantly accompanied my Gramma grocery shopping, Richard called to say he was all packed, and on his way over.(Horray!!!) We went to grab a bite to eat, and prepared to make our way over to a YSA activity. I guess he could tell I wasn't in the mood to be cheerful and outgoing, so after a completely illegal u-turn, to my surprise we started heading the opposite direction! We ended up at the pool, and have a TON of fun. (I forgot how much I liked water slides !)It seemed like my no good, very bad day had finally turned around! But in true, NO GOOD, VERY BAD day fashion, I realized I had lost my green scarf. We retraced our steps around town, but with no luck, made our way back to my house, scarfless. Somehow, even after all the horrible events of the day, I went to bed feeling like the luckiest girl in the world. I have a WONDERFUL family, a beautiful home, a great job, and the best friend a girl could ever ask for.
I think from now on, I'll leave the NO GOOD, VERY BAD days to Alexander.
