Some Days Are Better Than Others

Yes, and that is what I immediately thought when I began to well up with frustration.

Oh yea, that's exactly what I did yesterday. A little bit of Johnny Walker Black took away the tension I had when arrived home with.

Gotta love them huh? I guess it's a way to build patience.

Where do I start. I ride the train to and from work here in Socal so pretty much everything I do is on a timetable, but I also have a car parked at my place of work to visit my kids once a week, and to travel back and forth from the station and work. After visiting my kids yesterday, I took a different way back to the train station in which the road was reduced to one lane, causing a boatload of traffic. The only thought in my mind sitting in that traffic was getting to the train station before the train left because of it did leave, I would have to wait for the next one 30 minutes later, which would get me home around 7:20 pm versus my normal time of 5:09 pm. If the unexpected traffic wasn't enough, I got a flat tire 8 minutes away from the station with less than 15 minutes to spare, so in my dress slacks and long sleeved shirt, I pulled into a parking lot, hurried to remove the flat tire and replace it with a donut spare while dripping in sweat. Oh and one last thing, as I loosened the lug nuts on the tire, I burned the fingertips of my index finger because the lug nuts were like removing a cookie sheet from an oven, blazing hot. So as you said, in threes, and the frustration of my day was just that.

Sorry to hear that. Yes, a shower might relieve the stress you're feeling.

True that. When I arrived at the station and drove off in my truck, I scanned to the jazz station. It took the edge off to say the least.

My thoughts were isolated on the day at hand, not problems as a whole. I understand problems exist for all of us, but it's those days when things go wrong, over and over again.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully, you'll find a way to cope.
