What A Day!

I got up early but was still running wide open, Only to get to the clinic and they tell me "Flu shots are tomorrow." Got to Tony`s appointment and I spaced everyone out and read. Well, except all the people in wheelchairs or using walkers needing me to hold the door open, but I was glad to help. Next was drive an hour back and collect rent, she was waiting for me and I made it to the bank in time. But not all was good. First we were starving around noon and stopped at a KFC, we both have been on veggie diets for several days so why not? The lady took 2 orders and then took another order from some guy standing there with his food when it was my turn, I tolerated that, then she began to fix all the orders and us people still waiting to place orders, No she was not the only one working. The phone was ring non stop. She got all the orders before mine out and headed toward the cash register but instead of taking food orders headed to that damn phone. I said it loud enough so she could hear me " Oh HELL NO!" and I put my money in my purse and walked out. Tony followed me out the door telling me I am glad we left the tables are filthy like that have not been cleaned in days. We went to Bojangles, I had never ate there and it was pretty good, I had a breast and a small creamed potato with gravy, Tony ate my biscuit. Next Pain was ... As I was driving from my house to go collect the rent I made the huge mistake of going the back way and got stuck in school traffic, this one woman sat at a stop sign for 8 minutes, finally when I seen she could go I blew the horn, she still sat there, Next break I blew it again this time she went and I ran the stop sign and so did 2 school buses, we could see no break in traffic for a mile up that hill. But then as I walked I asked God to forgive my meanness and he has answered another prayer, but I cannot mention it just yet because I just got the call. I am giddy with happiness. How was your day?

I hate sitting in traffic and especially when the driver in front of me is not attentive. Sorry about that

I hate when fast food workers do crap like that. We went to McDonalds the other day and the cashier completely ignored the line and just went about making orders even though there were people in the back who could do it and he was supposed to be taking care of the front. I've worked in fast food and that would have never been considered acceptable. You are not supposed to make guests wait, it doesn't matter if you're in the middle of doing something else, you stop what you're doing and wait on them. My day has been okay so far. I have been trying to work on a new story. Still need to finish the other book I've been working on. I get too many ideas in my mind and then have a hard time just focusing on one story at a time.

@andriaperry I've been okay. Haven't been online as much lately. I try to pop on here now and then to see what everyone's up to. I hope all is well with you.

Do both. Have a space online to work on one but when an idea comes for the other flip over and add it, you can edit later. Long time no see, how have you been?

I like Bojangles so much more than KFC, and I miss it terribly. Did you get the spicy or regular chicken?

@andriaperry Any time I fly through Charlotte, I pick up Bojangles at the airport.to take home. Unfortunately it's been a fee years since I've gotten to do that.

It sounds like a very mixed day but it did have a happy ending. So I would call it a great day.

Busier than I expected it to be with a lot of running too . I got behind one school bus on the way home from visiting with my mom but once the bus got moving again I was able to pass it by. As I got closer to my turn that lane was busy so I got in the lane going straight. That area only has two lanes the one straight and the other turning left. It was a red light and after the current traffic from the right went through I began to enter the intersection realizing the light was still red. I backed up and waited for the green. Rarely do I go straight there. I had no other possible mishaps the rest of the day.

I am feeling kind of irritated right now. Maybe because I only got 4 hours of sleep. Take care, Andria!

I'm sorry about KFC and the traffic. I'm glad the rest of your day was good, and now you're giddy with excitement.
