Completely off subject

I thought I'd share the excitement of my day with you.  I had a lovely day at work today..beginning to end.  Well, I started work really early today.  I had to pick up deposits from Kingston and Poulsbo before going to work for the day in Bainbridge.  I finally make it to Bainbridge, and finish up making all the deposit slips and decide that I should go to the bathroom before I go to the bank.  So I go into the bathroom, do my thing, try to leave, and discover that the door won't open!!!  The handle is broken!  I try searching my pockets for anything of use, but besides the chapstick in my pocket, the only other thing I brought into the bathroom with my was my sweatshirt, which seems to be completely useless.  I am the only one in the store, and the door is locked, and I'm supposed to be the only one in the store for hours... this is not looking good.  So I look around the bathroom for something I can use to help me.  I see a nail stuck in the wall, and think I might be able to use it to pry the bolt to release.  Unfortunately the nail is stuck tight, and I'm killing my fingers trying to get it out.  So I tear a piece of cardboard off the seat cover holder, and cover the end of the nail to make it easier on my fingers to pull out.  Finally I get it out, and try to use it on the door, but I'm not having any luck.  So I pried out a really long screw near the floor,  and that too, is no luck, it's too fat to fit between the door and the frame.  So then I take a baby wipe container, and use the nail to score lines in the plastic so I can punch out a credit card size piece of plastic to try to throw the bolt.  Again, it doesn't work, the bolt just goes too far into the wall past the strike plate.  So I keep looking around for any ideas.  I finally settle on the door hinges.  I try to take the pins out of the hinges, but they are stuck tight.  I look around the bathroom for anything to use again and I see nothing.  My sight finally settles on the toilet.  I open up the back of the toilet, and take apart the long metal piece that attached to the flusher handle.  And I use that to pry off the hinges on the door.  It works!!  Unfortunately, I am unsuccessful at pulling the door, and after about an hour of trying to pry the door to fall off the hinges, I break the toilet piece, and now am seriously out of luck.  It need to be pushed or kicked from the outside to take it off the hinges.  So I sit down and wait.  If only I had just taken my cell phone into the bathroom!!  And after 3 hours, my boss finally realized something is wrong, because another employee was trying to get into the store, and couldn't and the door should have been unlocked for her already.  The store should have been opened way over an hour before!  Because of an incident the day before that I had no idea about, my boss thought, Oh No!!  The bathroom!!  So when she finally got there, I told her I had already taken the hinges off and all she had to do was kick it in!  Which she did and I finally was released!  Which caused a whole bunch more work for me today.  I spent a couple hours between buying the parts, and putting on a new door handle that I bought, and putting on the new plumbing stuff for the toilet that I bought.  I am happy to say though, that the toilet and the door are both fixed.  And by the time that I got off, I was really ready to go home!!  I hope you enjoyed my tale of woe!

Happiness...

It is amazing how much happiness can affect the body.  I am already down to 193.  I'm not even doing anything extra special.  I just have a new man in my life who makes me deliriously happy.  Which is in turn making me shrink.  I am definitely ok with that!  My older son has already returned to CA, and my younger one leaves on Saturday, I am sad and happy to be able to have a month to myself.  This week I am planning on going to Archery which I haven't gone in almost a year, and I am hoping to do Zumba, if I am feeling well enough on Thursday.  We'll see I should be well into cramp time by then.  And HE is taking Nico and I to a Mariner's game on Friday night.  Should be lots of fun!  I hope the weather holds out.  Well it's a short post today because I have to go to work, but I figured that no post is better than none!  Right Aimee?  Love you!  Thanks for reading!
