Today was a Monday. Things do not always go the way I have planned. That is really nothing new but today I needed things to be easy.

It started with a quick trip to School 40 miles away to buy a book for a class. I had planned on picking up my book on the first day of class but the weather canceled school. I thought I could get it today, so I drove to pick it up. I was needing this book for an assignment that is due tomorrow. We'll today I pulled into the school parking lot to find not a single car around. Yep, it's a Monday. Monday, Martin Luther King Juniors National Holiday. No book.

Who is the first person you call? Me, I call my husband, mad and almost in tears. He understands and tells me to drive over and get a mocha' latte'. Good advice until you finish the last drop and realize you have just ingested 1000 calories. Why did I just eat that?
The next person I call is my Good Friend Tammy. She is a great friend. When I mention My Good Friend Tammy, even to people who know her, I address her as My Good Friend Tammy. I'm not quite sure why, but she is a Great Friend. Colleges have laughed at the name I have given her, but no one has ever said a bad thing about her. So, My Good Friend Tammy tells me how stupid every thing is. She tells me that this is pretty much not my fault, and to blame it on bad luck. She tells me that I'm not stupid and that I can just "wing" it.

I stop over at her house on my 40 mile drive back and we "wing it" all day long. I will probably get an F for a grade. I'm not really sure I care any more. We discussed husbands, kids, school, work, even death. In the end we both decided that it really doesn't matter what day it is as long as you can "wing it" , even if it is a Monday.
