Today’s Run 4.22 miles<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There is this children’s book~Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. \u00a0In our family, we take part of the title to describe when we are having a bad\/off day. \u00a0Today is that day. \u00a0Today I am having an Alexander day.<\/p>\n
In this book, the primary character, Alexander, knows from the git-go that he is going to have a bad day. \u00a0His solution? \u00a0Move to Australia. \u00a0Maybe that is what I should do.<\/p>\n
Here is how the day begins for Alexander:<\/p>\n
Alexander knew it was going to be a terrible day when he woke up with gum in this hair.
\nAnd it got worse…
\nHis best friend deserted him. There was no dessert in his lunch bag. And, on top of all that, there were Lima beans for dinner and kissing on TV!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
My day started out great! \u00a0My husband and I had breakfast together and went on a run. \u00a0Perfect start to a sunny, 75 F. October day! \u00a0Who could ask for anything more? \u00a0Things deteriorated from there.<\/p>\n
We went out for our annual flu shots. \u00a0Not a highlight of anybody’s day but livewithable (live-with-able). \u00a0When we came out from getting our shots, we found that somebody had backed into our Honda Accord and put a lovely dent in the hood and taken away a lot of the paint as a souvenir. \u00a0Boo.<\/p>\n
We called 911 and a very nice, very young (why is it that people in authority positions are starting to look younger and younger? \u00a0I am most certainally not getting any older!) policeman came and wrote a report and left.<\/p>\n
We went to the co-op and bought chicken feed, dog food and cat food.<\/p>\n
After errands we came home and I got ready to mow. \u00a0First I checked on Jeff. \u00a0Jeff is one of my hens. \u00a0She lays green colored eggs and she was looking under the weather this morning. \u00a0Jeff was in a nesting box all fluffy. \u00a0I thought that when I was done mowing, I would put her in an isolation cage in the house.<\/p>\n
So, I mowed. \u00a0For three hours.<\/p>\n
Since I was all done mowing I went to check on the chickens. \u00a0One egg! \u00a0Not a green one. \u00a0That is because Jeff was belly up and stiff. \u00a0She must have passed away as soon as I left her to begin my mowing. \u00a0Rats! \u00a0My husband is taking care of her as I type.<\/p>\n
Hopefully, dinner will be a success.<\/p>\n
I must admit to being a little blue. \u00a0My arm is sore from the shot. \u00a0My car has a big dent in it and my chicken is de-ceased. \u00a0I think I will move to Australia.<\/p>\n
At least we had an awesome run, right!?! \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
