I'm Cursed!

Monday is usually such a wonderful day. Its my day off to have some me time and get some quick errands done. However, today had a twist to it. Everything was so difficult! Once I finally got out of bed (which kinda took a while hehe) and got ready for the day, I was off to run my "quick" errands.
First on my list. Get gas. Not hard you say. Well, you have forgotten that we are talking about me. As I drove to my favorite 2.93 gas station (by the way, when did 2.93 become exciting?!). I realized there were flashing red and blue lights ahead of me. Of course, the police car pulls this long truck pulling a trailer, over into the very gas station that I was going. I got stopped at the light right before it, so I had some time to assess the situation. I watched as the policeman got out of his car, and about 5 guys got out of the truck. The police man was using his radio and I felt very confused at what was unfolding before my eyes. The light turned green and I thought to myself- is it really necessary to get gas at this very moment? I chose the option No. So on to Target I went.
I had only one reason to go to Target. That was to make copies of some pictures from my memory card from my camera. Surly Target has a machine like that. Nope. They dont. Urg! Mumbling under my breath I thought about my plan of action. I had been out running errand now for 20 min and still nothing was accomplished! The only thing I could think of was to go to Wallmart. I hesitated briefly though because of my last adventure there. But, it was the only option that came to my mind. So off I went. On my way to Walmart, I passed the gas station again and there was no sign of police activity. So I filled up my tank and then realized that as much as I love going there, I needed a car wash as well, and of course there was none. I wasnt surprised.
On my way to Walmart, I passed a gas station that had a car wash and made a mental note for my way home. Surprisingly, getting my pictures developed was super easy! The man at the desk was actually very nice and the best part was, there was no man with bloody fingers touching anything of mine! I breathed a sigh of relief as I went to buy some groceries. I felt my luck changing. I was checking everything off my list until I realized that I could not find Tortillas or Lean pockets anywhere in the store. Those should not be so difficult to find. Oh wait- this is my shopping adventure. Of course it was. So I would have to go to another store to find those. "I think I'll do that another day" I thought to myself. Its time to go home!

Upon leaving walmart,I remembered the gas station/car wash and HALLELUJAH I found it again. (which is no small feat for me here in Arizona!) YEA! My car looks beautiful, however now the clouds are forming and the forecast is calling for rain. I am sure that none of you are surprised. My day wouldnt be MY DAY without ending in such a way!
Oh well- Thank goodness there is always tomorrow~
