Today is full of little things going wrong. I pulled a neck muscle and decided that what I needed for it was a bath full of nice, relaxing bath salts, for instance. Thee was no water. The lovely cool night (-2.6, because I'm keeping track) meant the block of flats had a burst water pipe and the plumber forgot to knock on our doors and tell us the water was going off. So I had a cup of coffee, instead. The coffee was terribly weak, for no good reason.
I've made a solid start on today's work, but things keep going wrong there, too. Passwords mysteriously don't work or my brain fails to function. I'm precisely 25% through today's pile of papers. I have eight hours for the remaining 75%, for it's easier to shift most of the work to evening than to throw my hands up in despair at the small idiocies of the day. I'll finish everything, but it might be a bit of a long day.
All I can think is that it must be Monday.
The water is now restored, so I'm going to have that bath, have more coffee, then get back to what I was doing before everything went awry.
