Today was an angry day....................

"Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome."

Today started out annoyed and quickly grew into angry.

Late last night, I received a phone call advising me that we would not be running the busses today.

Great!

Another day's pay out the window.

The Governor (being the sissy that he is) had declared a snow emergency earlier in the day on Sunday,around 2 pm.

Of course ,it didn't start snowing until 7 and the predictions ranged anywhere from 3-7 inches of snowfall, all ending by 5 am.

In my eyes, plenty early enough for the roads to be cleared.

But I digress.....

While checking my bank balances, something I do every morning, I noticed that I had inadvertently sent a payment meant for my health insurance to the wrong insurance carrier.

I raced over to the bank only to find that alas, the check had cleared and I would now have to deal with a) getting a refund and b) covering my health insurance premium and hoping that there was no issue as I was now almost a week late in payment.

Then there it was time to deal with a vendor who for the last 20 years has just not listened .

After a half a dozen emails back and forth, I threw my hands up and decided enough is enough.

Adding insult to injury,I did get a text message from someone at the center where I drive, that my 1 afternoon pickup was still on for the day.

Really?

You expect me to drop what I am doing, drive 25 minutes to get my bus to drive for 1 hour and then drive home for 25 minutes. Oh sure....I'm gonna do that.

(Yeah, I did the pickup but I used my Jeep).

It was a day that just seemed filled with annoying little distractions and discomforts that left me feeling agitated.

Now, here's the good news.

In the past,agitated equaled shove food in your mouth. It didn't matter what.

Just keep shoving.

That didn't happen today.

In fact, I actually missed 2 of my 4 meals.

Okay don't get crazy....2 of my meals consist of eating an apple.

It's just past 8 pm.

I ate dinner a short while ago, finishing up at around 7.

I certainly am not hungry now and I won't eat anything after 9.

So the win is I may have avoided that senseless gorging that in the past accompanied agitation.

I guess that means I had a pretty good day then!
