Its
only 7.30am but already this day is going downhill.
Got the first half of a root canal treatment on Tuesday and had the nerve dug out but have to go back for next stage next week. He warned me it might get sore but I was thinking I’d got away with it until 3am this morning when I woke with a pain that felt like someone had hit me on the side of the head with a sledgehammer.
Now the left side of my face is swollen up like a football. Woe is me………..
Then when I got to work I was nipping around to the shop and got involved in a "walk rage" incident.
I was striding along and approaching a guy dandering in the same direction talking on his phone. I went to go around him but as I did he sped up and was then walking along beside me at the same speed. Don’t know why it is but there’s something a bit uncomfortable about a stranger walking close beside you, invasion of space or something, so I sped up.
The wee bastard, still on his phone, sped up as well. This was now feeling a bit freaky and a problem was looming as I was on his right but wanted to turn left in about 20yds. I realised if I slowed down and went behind him he would have won whatever game we were playing so I had to time a spurt of speed just right then cut across him without tripping both of us up.
I waited until the optimum moment and went for it. I caught him off guard and as soon as I was one stride ahead I swung across to the left. Believe it or not I think he actually was speeding up and he had to stop to avoid a collision. I looked back and he was staring after me with a “What the fuck are you playing at” sort of look. Yea right weirdo, I won………..
Last thing is almost too horrible to type so bear with me. I had parked the car at work and got out. As I walked to the door I dropped my Teacake. Not the end of the world you may say, but I then stood on it. I could see I was about to do it but was mid stride and my world went into slow motion as I watched my foot descend onto today’s love of my life. I managed to salvage some of it and laid it to rest in my stomach but now I have nothing to look forward to. Woe is me again…………….
