Marsha's Log: I Missed the Bus!!

Tweet

OMG! My fear came straight true this morning when I missed the bus. As usual, I tossed and turned not being able to get to sleep. This is always worse when I know I have to get up super early for something. I had 4 alarms set, for 4 different times! I never heard any of them. The last I had looked at the time it was 4:13 am. I thought then that I should just get back out of bed. Then I thought if I could get to sleep it would be like a 45 minute nap before my first alarm would go off. Obviously I went to sleep hard. I woke up at 6:13 am....jumped out of bed and grabbed my phone to call the lady in charge. I seen I had missed a call from her at 6:09. Sadly, they had already waited 10 minutes past departure time when she called me and they were not willing to wait another 10 or so minutes for me to drive across town to the bus. (after another 5 minutes had gone by---I think if when she called at 6:09 I would have been already heading there they would have waited for sure) Sigh....I've really been looking forward to this trip since the very start of the planning. I started turning my PerkTV points in on the Perk Plastik card for spending money. I was able to cash out with Inboxdollars in time for the check to get here before. I had that money for spending as well. I've never been to any quilt shows other than the 2 small ones that my own guild put on here in town. I had meticulously packed my bags for the trip. One bag, my usual tote, I even took all the extra stuff out of to make it lighter. One bag held my drinks and snacks as well as plastic bags and paper towels. Then I had gotten out my box of hexagons to sew on during each 4 hour bus ride. I had that all in the car to just get up and go this morning. Sigh...... I went to the store and bought cat litter and a few groceries and then to Dollar Tree for some things. It didn't take my long to spend the $44 that I had saved for the quilt show. Most things that I bought were things that we needed.....and that I had the money for, but selfishly was not buying because I wanted the money to spend on the trip. The trip was to the Kansas City Regional Quilt Show. Despite the major lack of sleep I've been determined to make the most of the day online. I have been working on getting ads ready for sites as well as surfing 4 sites for a promoslice event. I've not written here in a few days or so. Hopefully I can stop missing so many days in between posts! Have you been disappointed about anything lately?
