poison in my cup

yesterday was faily decent up until the end. all this would have moot had i just gone out for groceries this weekend instead of trying to go during the week. at any rate, i had to pick up some orange juice and milk. it had been raining yesterday morning, but had since stopped. then the temperature rose to around seventy without actually removing any of the overcast. so it was fairly muggy by the time i was off from work.

i trekked over to pick'n save from best buy, made my purchases and headed back out to the closest busstop. on my way to the busstop, i began feel like my left asscheek was wet. i looked down and discovered that my bag was leaking. i opened it and found that my powerade had unscrewed itself enough to cause a slow leak. it had also coated my right show with powerade. luckily, i had actually left my binder at best buy, but more on that in a moment. it was also a good thing that the book i had purchased was in a plastic bag. everything else faired wel due to the fact i do not usually keep things inside the large pouch that are not foodstuffs.

eventually, the bus showed up, and i patted myself down in a fruitless attempt to locate my bus pass. it was just gone. most people at this point would retrace their steps. i was almost positive that i had taken it out at work and left it in the warehouse. so i hiked back up to best buy, found the pass, headed back to the busstop, and headed home. it was almost like that book "alexander and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day", except i am sure there was some resolution at the end of that back. in my case, it just did not get any worse. sure, the cat puked on the floor, but at least it had not puked on my pillow.
