What a day I've had! It started out with watching my grandchildren, which is always good. No problem there. Then a company came out to fix the windshield of my car. Now, instead of a bebe size blemish I have a 3 inch hairline crack. Hum, I wonder which is better. It was recommended I should replace the whole windshield, which I'll do when time permits.

Then I decided to go clothes shopping. Have I told you that I hate shopping? Well, I do. On the way there I hit one of those orange barrels they put up when road work is going on. No, I wasn't texting. I don't do that. I won't even read a text sent to me while I'm driving. I was paying attention, but realized at the very last second that I was taking the wrong exit. So I swerved in the hope I would make the right exit. I did. But I hit the barrel.

Now the passenger side mirror is gone and I have a nice scrape on the side of the car. Damn. I drive a 2011 and it's beginning to look like a piece of crap! I was keyed down the driver's side so I have a nice scratch there as well.

All can and will be fixed, especially before I go on the road trip to Maine that I have planned in May. I reminded myself on the way home that things can always be worse.

Now, back to clothes shopping. My new job requires professional attire. I walked the whole damn mall, stopped at all the strip malls and managed to find the beginning of a good wardrobe. But I was exhausted by the time I finished. I looked like a wilted flower when I got home but a cold shower quickly revived me.

Life is good again:)
