It was a day, like any other, got up, well, not like any other because I slept until…wait for it…9:20am! Oh my!

I think the only reason I slept so late was the NyQuil I took last night and I have to tell you those little green gel caps knocked me out! I wasn’t sure if I would be able to finish my post last night, I was dozing off while writing it! I’m fighting a cold and I’m almost the victor, so go me!

I said goodbye to DCM when he left, well, he kissed me and I mumbled. Then I got up, did some stuff around the apartment and headed out to therapy. Let me interject here…last week, I got a call from the receptionist at the PT office asking if I could move my apportionment for today to 11:30, no problem. Monday I had an appointment and when I called because I thought I didn’t have one, they asked me to cancel, no problem. When I show up today, the therapist is confused because my appointment still showed 9:30 am, I said, no worries if it’s not a good time, nope, not a good time, so no therapy this week. Ok, but annoying, mostly because I would have gone skiing today if I didn’t have a therapy appointment or it was still for 9:30.

Off to the recycling center and then to the emissions place to have the VIN verified so I can register my car in Colorado. I wait in the long line for about ten/fifteen minutes to be told, nope, go to the office, wait while the gentleman takes care of the other cars, about fifteen minutes. After about thirty minutes, someone goes to get him. Then I couldn’t find the $20 I had taken out to pay for the verification, mind you…they don’t verify they just print out a form that someone else will verify, that cost me $20. I go get cash, come back, wait another fifteen minutes, then I’m on my way.

Phone couldn’t get a signal, so I just kind of drove around working out where the DMV office was. I gave all the paperwork I had, but now they want a copy of the title, call Chase, they are going to fax, but it won’t be soon because it had to come from THE PHILLIPINES, huh? That’s where that division is located, ok…so it will happen some time after 1:30am. Whatever…so I leave there and head home.

I think that covers the first third irritatings…here’s the funny, finally. I am hungry at this point, so I stop at the Burger King drive through. The kid who took my order was funny and couldn’t quite get what I wanted “veggie burger with lettuce, tomato and cheese only” it never changes. He was having the hardest time, adding mayo, no mayo, mayo. He said he didn’t know what was wrong with him and I finally said “if there’s mayo, I’m coming after you!” We laughed. When I finally got to the second window, he took the money and I said no mayo, right? The manager leaned out the window to give me my burger and said, “we all had a great laugh! I gave you extra cheese and if there’s mayo, you come get him!” It was very funny and there was extra cheese! That made me giggle most of the way!

I had to make a few returns, took care of those and headed home. I cleaned what was left to be cleaned and then headed out to pick up pizzas for poker night. Everyone arrived and we got started; there were only seven of us, but it was intense. We were playing winner take all.

G went out in two hands, he’s usually one of the last guys to play, could be because his good luck charm, wink wink, was not sitting next to him. His wife, D, was in between us and DCM was on his left.

I had a few good hands, won one round with my pocket 4’s, I don’t know if you remember, I have won one round at each game with pocket 4’s! I cleaned up with two straights (now I canst remember and DCM may be correcting and saying they were flushes, but I won, so that’s all that matters!) So, there’s my wahoo! I’m getting a little better, not saying I’m ready for any tournaments, but I can hold my own, getting really good at my poker face! (Although it’s hard to concentrate sometimes, so much to talk about or deal and bet and deal, very stressful!)

Eventually it was DCM, M and me and eventually I went all in and lost, M had THE biggest pile of chips, he needed two chip holders! In the end it was M that won out, congrats! Then the night was over by about 9/9:30 and we were cleaning up. All in all a good time, everyone says so when they leave. Here’s to the next one!

And that my friends, was my day, a few annoyances along the way, but it ended with a lot of laughs and I get to share all that with you! See you tomorrow!
