It’s a Murphy’s Law kind of day!

What a crappy day. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong! Today I sadly had to file bankruptcy and went to court. Last night I could not sleep at all. I kept thinking about court, moving, my job, Kenny, my business, I finally fell asleep at 4am only to have to get up at 6AM.
First when I woke up I did not have a chance to do my daily Ah meditation. I forgot to take my anxiety meds, did not pop my vitamin or my daily danactive probiotic drink. So my day started off in a really bad way.
Then I had to run to the post office to get a money order and had to wait 30 minutes after I went to Starbucks and grabbed a breakfast burrito at McDonalds. So instead of sitting in my car for 30 minutes I decided to drive way out of my way to the next post office and that made me late but I needed to be on my way to downtown Tampa by 9AM. Needless to say it was 9:25am before I headed downtown; my court time was 10AM.
I circled and circled looking for a parking spot. I finally found one 2 blocks away, not too bad I was thinking. I get inside the court house, dump my stuff in the basket and the security officer sends me back to my car because my phone has a camera on it. GRRRR I now have 10 minutes to my court time and I walk FAST 2 blocks to my car and 2 blocks back. By the time I got back to the court house I was having a really bad hair day.
So I sit in court with a lot of others who are filing bankruptcy. There were young and old there. I saw senior citizens who are losing their home because of insurance and taxes increasing in Florida because of the hurricanes. It was really sad. I was nervous. I sat in the court wondering if I had made the right decision. I almost wanted to leave but I stayed. I told myself that this was my one shot at getting a clean slate and undo the mistakes I have made in the past. Well I forgot to bring my social security card with me so guess where I will be next Friday again lol. You guessed it back in court.
On my way home I was very depressed. I kept thinking what I could treat myself to while I was out and about that would pick me up? Sushi? Another Starbucks? Something at one of the many Latin restaurants in downtown Tampa? *sigh* I didn’t want anything. So I went home, heated up some rice that was left over from dinner the night before and checked my email. I was really upset that I had no hours on the work schedule for the day so I emailed my boss and she gave me 4 hours, better than nothing and I need every penny right now. So I lay down to get some sleep after Kenny came home from school. Between the phone ringing, the sun blaring in my bedroom, the soccer game in the church grounds outside my window I could not sleep.
So now I am wrapping up my day at work. I have 5 minutes left. I am wide away, almost in a manic state but I still need to be up at 6am to pack, clean and get ready for the movers plus I still need to write.
Let’s hope I get some sleep tonight and am able to get back on track!
