And that someone would be me. I don't mean a case of the Mondays like, "I'm so mad that the weekend is over and I just can't accept the fact that it's Monday" type of day. I mean that I'm having a "What else could possibly go wrong today" type of day.
At first I was making great time this morning. It was looking like I was going to be leaving exactly at 7:20 a.m. as I had planned. Then, a few wardrobe and shoe changes later, it was 7:45 and I was just leaving my house. I was feeling confident about my outfit and shoe change, until I walked from my house to the garage and snow started getting in my shoe through the peep toes. Who would even think of wearing peep toe shoes in the snow? This girl. But they're so cute, I told myself. Plus, the peep toe is extremely small and I'm wearing hose underneath so it should be a non-issue. Well it wasn't and now my toes are wet. Oh well. I must move on.
About 10 minutes after I leave my house, I start to question whether or not I unplugged my hair straightener. I keep going back and forth in my mind about whether or not I should turn around and go check. I even picked up the phone to start to call Pat for his final opinion about what I should do (he is my rock in all of my indecisiveness). After one ring, I realized how ridiculous it was that I was calling him to ask his opinion, especially when he was already at work and probably in a meeting, so I hung up. I ended up convincing myself that it was definitely still plugged in and if I didn't turn around and go unplug it, I was going to burn down my house and kill my cat and dog. That is just a small glimpse into my twisted mind. I get home, only to find my straightener unplugged. I could have taken advantage of this opportunity to change into more appropriate shoes, but I didn't.
I get to work, surprisingly the commute was only slightly longer than normal with the snow. By the time I settle in and start working, a reminder comes up on my calendar about a meeting I have at Ursuline College in 30 minutes, which means I drove to work for nothing when I should have driven straight to this meeting. So I head back out in the snow, in my peep toe shoes and drive to Ursuline College. The roads weren't too bad until I got really close to the college and then it turned in to an arctic blizzard. I couldn't find a parking spot so I think I ended up making my own spot and there was too much snow to really tell.
After the meeting, when I once again walked through even more snow in my peep toe shoes, I realized I didn't have a snow scraper in my car and I was stuck in my invented car space. After some manuerving, I did get myself out and made it back to work safely, unlike the cars I saw in ditches.
So yes, I had a crappy morning and other than mother nature, the only person I have to blame is myself. If I had worn smarter shoes, made sure to double-check my hair straightener was off, made sure I had a snow scraper in my car and had a handle on my work schedule, none of this would have happened.
