What a bad day!

judy · 06-02-2008, 03:22 PM

My birds escaped from their cage yesterday while I was cleaning it. I couldn't catch them so I left them out last night. I woke up at around 7:00 today to try to catch them. Not gonna happen. I spoke to my daughter who suggested a butterfly net.

Then, I saw that I got a parking ticket. We have alternate side of the street parking.

I was going to go to the beach, but it was getting late and I knew I wouldn't really relax. I was worried about the birds. Skye flew into the wall and I didn't know if they had gone into the cage for food and water.

I have had a problem with my bedroom doorknob, and ended up getting stuck
inside my bedroom for at least an hour. I went through everything in the room, including my jewelry box to find some kind of tool so that I could turn the doorknob. Finally I did what any normal person would do. I took a shoe and began to bang it on the knob. (frustration) Then I took the door and started pulling and pushing it. Don't you know that it popped open. Sometimes you have to show these quiet inanimate objects just who is the boss! They can do bad things to you!

Then I took the dogs and went to ToysRUs for a butterfly net, and toys for the grandchildren. Kassidy will be 6 on Thursday. The manager came running over while I was paying and in a shocked voice told me I had to take the dogs out of the cart. "Babies sit there," she said. I must have looked at her like "what the...?" because she told me it's not that she doesn't love animals, blah, blah, blah. Turns out dogs aren't allowed in TRU. Who knew?

I came right home. I did catch the birds in about 10 minutes using the net, and am not doing anything else today! I'm afraid to.

Judy you poor thing.. It seems that you had quite a day. I don't miss alternate side of the street parking. I got my share of tickets.. btw go fight the judge lol teasing.... Sorry to hear about the birds but glad that you got them into the cage , your daughters suggestion was a good one....

Sometimes it seems like a chain of events when the day starts off wrong. I hope after you left TRU that you went along the bike path by the water, you did go by Bay Pkway? and enjoyed the day with them. When I lived in Bklyn I would go down by the water and just walk or bike ride and look out into the ocean so relaxing.. The bridge is so pretty and it was a beautiful day..

I hope tomorrow is a better day...

Oh my goodness Judy! You poor thing! I hate when lots of stuff goes wrong like that. I would rather handle one big issue than a handful of smaller ones. I hope you have a much better day tomorrow!

Marilyn · 06-02-2008, 05:22 PM

Awww, Judy, what a bunch of issues!! I don't know what alternate side of the street parking is. It sounds complicated. We just park in our drive way here. Garage is full of Harleys and stuff.

So glad you caught the birds!!! And what side of the door are the hinge pins on??? If they were inside the bedroom, that may have been an option, but you probably did not have the tools. Next stop the hardware store for a new know??

Judy, sweetie, I really think you need to have your own reality TV show. I know I would be your number one fan!!!

I hope tomorrow turns out better.

I'm glad that at least you caught the birds!! Sounds like you've had a very long day too! You should just put your feet up now and have a nice cold drink! I hope tomorrow is much much better!

Mandy · 06-03-2008, 12:52 AM

Grrrrr dont you just hate those kind of days! Judy i agree with Janet, you need your own tv show, it would be a best seller!
Hope today is better for you, i didnt know dogs werent allowed in TRU either, i use to take Chelsey there when she was a tiny puppy to fit dolls clothes because i couldnt find puppy clothes in her size around here LOL

teri88 · 06-03-2008, 05:54 AM

What? Sounds like a typical day around here lol!

Glad you survived. And you should put masking tape on the door latch of that bedroom door (that will really show it who's boss!) Now if I got trapped in my bedroom....I'd just take a nap!

DianaB · 06-04-2008, 08:22 AM

Judy, I hope that your days have gotten better. We all have days like that where it seems like everything goes wrong. It makes you appreciate all the other days even more!!
