things can only get better…

I am one of those people with a lot of faith.. A LOT of faith. I know that in my heart things will always turn out for the best – even when i just want to ball up and rock somewhere in a dark corner.
This past couple of weeks proved to me that I am much stronger than i had ever thought i was.

Last Monday – I am running out of my car – into the house because it was raining and i didn’t have an umbrella…
I don’t know who the hell told me that i should have put those skimpy ass Puma’s on…
with no traction…..
in the grass…

but….

SLIP – BAM….

 

my ass was on the ground. 

Crying the rain with an ankle twisted – the OTHER way.
Ugh… thank God Deme was there to witness the entire thing and (laugh) and pick me up and drag me into the house…

 

UGH – I was a mess.
Needless to say – I actually sprain my ankle – tore a few ligaments – and my pride. 

AND THAT WAS JUST THE BEGINNING….

((On Friday))

I am driving into work – because i can’t really walk… i refuse to use the crutches….and i felt like that was the BEST option….
WELL…. I got into a car accident. A fender bender….
Bending my soul.
My heart.
My spirit – (wait… no that’s actually broken right about now…)

Ugh – Deme JUST bought me that $700.00 sexy ass car…..

It’s still drivable – just NOT as sexy. 

 

yes – it gets better :) 

The following Thursday – I actually end up taking the train into the city after a site visit with my structural engineer…

I am sitting on the bench…waiting for the train.
The train comes and I get on the train.
I start walking to my sea.t 

AND THEN THE TRAIN DOORS SHUT.

I forgot my damn purse on the bench. 

 

w.t.f. 

 

Ok – so of course i panic (internally – because i couldn’t even stop shaking enough to dial the number to the train station…) 

- I finally get them and someone had already brought my bag into the office….

((God, you must really love me)) 

NOW TODAY IS TUESDAY.

Just got in from a GREAT ACE mentoring presentation!! The students were fantastic and their hard work and dedication to the program really showed… :)

 

I got on the train to come home.
I am playing jewels on my stupid smart phone.
We get to my stop (a little quicker than i anticipated).
I go to put my trailpass into my purse – BUT 

WHAT?

IT FELL WHERE?

I CAN’T FIT MY HANDS DOWN THERE?!

Game time decision… do I stay on this train til the next stop and try to get my pass out of this nasty crevice between the seat and the wall? OR do i sacrifice it and go on…without my 145.00 pass – for – the – month?

I went on without my pass…
I hope that i can find some old tickets laying around here…

Ok – so the moral of the story is that whenever things seem like they just won’t get better – they probably won’t. (haha)
BUT I know that there is a lesson learned in each and every one of those situation – and I am THANKFUL that they were not worse.

1. My ankle could have been broken.
2. My $700.00 car could have been totaled.
3. My purse could have been stolen – I mean, there wasn’t any money in there anyway – but you know. :)
4. Even though i lost my pass… Um, yeah – i still need to figure out the bright side to this one….
(haha)

- wait… i thought that things happen in threes?
