You Do Not Have To Be Strong All The Time

Somedays you just need a good cry

Life is hard and I am sick of hearing that.

I forgot to take some drops that I needed to work one day. I popped into the nearby pharmacy to pick up a spare bottle.

I could get into my account to switch over funds but my card did not work. I switched to my other bank card. That card was working but I could not get into my bank account to switch over some funds.

The irony was not lost on me.

After a 30-minute hold with the bank, I got it sorted out.

This was turning into a two-coffee kind of day with a couple of ounces of Bailey’s stirred in.

It is not always the big things that threaten to derail you but a compilation of the little annoyances.

  • The one day you are running behind and you hit every red light along the way.
  • You shatter your favourite mug.
  • You have to deal with not one but three over-the-top difficult customers at work.
  • Your son accidentally overflowed the sink and there is water everywhere.
  • The plumbing backed up. Definitely not fun.
  • The power goes out and all your kitchen appliances are electric…
