"It's like a bad day that never ends. I feel the chaos around me. A thing I don't try to deny. I'd better learn to accept that there are things in my life that I can't control." - Phoenix

Ah, yet another bad day. I woke up late and mad at the world. I just can't seem to catch a break lately. Work was hell. I seriously wanted to lay the smack down on some people. The only thing that got me through the day was looking forward to having a good dinner and some drinks with Jerry. Once I got off work, we drove to one of our favorite restaurants, and it was packed. On a Wednesday freaking night? WTF? Then, some old lady freaked out and blew the horn at Jerry because he was backing up to get in the parking space better. She literally entered the parking lot as he was backing up and then proceeded to speed up to where he was and blow the horn at him like a crazy person. Lady, when someone is backing out of a parking space before you even enter the parking lot, I think they have the right away. Step off granny! 

Things started looking up when we entered the restaurant because our favorite booth in the bar was available. The seating in the bar has always been first come, first served. We were getting all comfy in our booth and preparing ourselves for an awesome meal when the hostess came up to us and informed us that the bar was on a waiting list tonight. Embarrassingly, we had to get up and put our names on the waiting list behind people who came in after us. Why would they just change the rules all of the sudden and not at least put a sign up or something? I found out later from the hostess that a person who was on the waiting list complained to her that we got to come in and sit right down, so she was put in an "awkward position." Well, I'm sorry but we were put in an awkward position too just for following the usual rules. Anyway, we waited 15 minutes to be seated and another 15 minutes to be waited on. When I finally got my drink, it was weak and only managed to give me a headache instead of a buzz. To say today was an epic fail is an understatement.

On a happier note, do you recognize my sweater today? It's the one that got away on Black Friday. I was browsing around in my local Anthro a couple of weeks ago and it was hanging at the end of a sale rack all by it's lonesome. I swear there was a light shining down from heaven on it. It's like it was hanging there just for me. I know it's just a grey sweater, but I loves it. It's my precious... Seriously, it's one of the few wool sweaters that I can tolerate, and I just love it's relaxed vibe. 

It seems I'm going through a rough patch right now, but that's life. You have good days and you have bad ones. The last couple have been bad, but the day I scored this sweater was a good one. Believe or not, they do exist in my world. I sure hope I have one of those again real soon.
