Talk about a lot of things on your mind.. you know we all have those days when everything seems to be going wrong and it feels like the world may just end. You need to remember that you aren't the only one that goes through those days.
Today I had a plan to wake up early, go to the doctor at 8am and be at work by 9. Well here's what happened. I get a call at 7:15am from a fellow RA who smells marijuana. Of course, duty calls and I jump out of bed to attend the call. When I get there the police take an extra 15 minutes longer to arrive. At this point I start to worry about my doctors appointment. So When 7:53am came around and the student was being arrested I left the RA's to race to my doctor's appointment. I made it around 8:10am and of course they just happened to let someone go ahead of me. I did not get into the patients room until almost 8:40 (mind you I was supposed to work at 9!). I finally get out at 9:40am to receive a call from Scott telling me he is sick. So I spent a bit more time going to Walgreens for some meds. When All is said and done I got to work at 10:30 to hopefully start my day.
Guess again, during a one on one with Kevin I received a call from my dad telling me that my puppy was going to the vet. As I went to lunch I kept communication with him. Mallie had to get x-rays and essentially has the equivalent of a human's torn ACL on her back leg. Surgery is still up in the air but could cost $1500 if she has to do - bad timing before a wedding.
But back to the original point of stuff happens to everyone. I won't sit here and say yeah I'm so happy and lie to your face, however remember too that currently I am on a balance beam - to one side I can go completely negative thinking Mallie wont make it because we cant pay for surgery and my day is just going to continue to suck AND I will probably get a million calls, OR I can go positive and pray that she may not even need surgery or God will somehow provide the means of taking care of her AND the rest of the week will be productive and great. I choose to be the second.
What will you do on your day of havoc?
