Sometimes karma is a fickle little bitch who decides to smile upon you. Let me tell you a little story, but first I have to tell you about the weird dream I had last night. I was on the road driving somewhere in the middle of nowhere when I decided to get something to eat. I pulled into this diner and they started asking me all these questions if I was there for the race. I had no idea what they were talking about. When they realized I was just some random guy they started treating me nice but then told me I needed to get out because it was almost time for things to happen. I was freaked out, and then the ground started rumbling a car slammed into the side of the building squishing a woman against the window. The whole place goes nuts because it's the annual appearance of the ghost of a biker who was in the race they were talking about who was killed in the diner and came back every year for revenge. We all watched this unfold and everyone had a part to play. They were all amazed when he started talking to me and dragging me into the action. That's about when I woke up.
As to the fickly karma part of the day...
Worked yesterday and it turned out I had enough to keep me through yesterday. Today and tomorrow might still be a little light, but I have at least a good 3/4 of the day work to do. It's Friday I am most concerned about. After work I came home and in the mail was my rebate card from Verizon for $100. I got all excited and started thinking about how I could use the money when I stopped myself. I remembered that my DirectTV bill was roughly $92 and I should just use the money to pay for that. When I logged into DTV my bill was actually only $82.97 for some reason. NICE. Karma point number 1. That left me $17.03 on the card. I decided to treat myself to some froyo. When I got to the froyo place and went to pay, I pulled out my rewards card and found I had earned $5 off my next froyo. Total cost of froyo on counter? $5.54. I gave her a dollar and told her to put the rest in the tip jar. I still had $17.03 on my gift card and decided to hit the grocery store. I bought some milk, cheese, and a couple of other things. Total cost? $17.77. Out of pocket for groceries, froyo, and a DTV bill? $1.74. Nice.
Came back home and made a turkey burger, a nice salad, and some mac and cheese. I folded newspapers for cast prop bags, watched some Louie CK (funny show by the way. Quite enjoyable), and hit the sack around 10pm. A really good day. I have had many more of these the last 19 days. So far 2011 is doing much better than 2010. So far. I am trying to stay positive about things and smile.
