One of those days!

Have you ever had a day you thought would have been better if you had stayed in bed? I know that is a common question, but this is definitely one of those days for me! The main cause of this problem was that I thought it was tomorrow! I knew I should have taken a better look at the calendar.

First, I woke up (for the final time!!) around 4am. I left the house around 4:35am and drove to the airport to turn in my rental and pick up a new one. They wouldn't extend the rental and said I had to turn this one in. I turned the car in and went to get another one from a different rental agency, but there was nobody there! I waited for a little while and decided to ride the shuttle to the airport to see if I could contact anyone from one of the phones there. I managed to reach one company, but they didn't have any cars available.

I then decided to return to the rental agency as it would definitely be open by then. They fortunately were willing to give me the rental a day early, though I ultimately paid much more than I was expecting. I am hoping I will find a cheap car to purchase before I have to turn this one in; it will be a better deal. After I managed to get the new rental, I proceeded to drive to work.

I managed to get on the wrong highway and drove to the other side of town, and even exited it. I realized I was doing this and turned around and 'felt' my way to what ended up being a place that would get me to where I needed to go. I thought I was going to have to call in to say that I was lost, but that thankfully did not happen! And I was only 15 minutes late for work!

Sure, finding the correct road may not be the most efficient, but it works for me! I just hope that tomorrow is a much easier day in that realm!
