sep 2 What a day ;

According to my horoscope I read by coincidence in the Spits and the Metro ( free newspapers in the train) it would not be a good day for me .....And so it was.In Zwolle where I had to take the train to Utrecht was on the boards already: intercity Utrecht.So I thought that I should have , found out later that it was the slow train : the signs of stopping train had been changed in Intercity.while the slow train was still there .So after many stops, half an hour later as usual in Utrecht. In the "trademart"
I step into the elevator to go,to the 7th floor where normally the guest exhibitors. But the elevator did not work.
Other elevator taken, so the elevator operator presses for me on the 7th. Are we on the way up, she asks: do you have to go to the guest exhibitors? this time they are on the ground floor, so out of the elevator, elevator back down. the floor with the guest exhibitors is always busy I'd rather start with. As the day progresses it becomes increasingly crowded".
As I had more floors I came to a shop where I would get my order that people always take it with them for me,
Saves me shipping and delivery costs. Revealed that she was "completely forgot" to take.Well I was off on time at 14.20 so I step on the train to Zwolle. Problems with the train, broken railroad switch and ultimately a delay of 3 hours. Instead of one hour from Utrecht to Zwolle, we have done about 4 hours. So I was only home at 19.45 instead of 16.30 ......
So it was quite a day! So that's why, no more freebielinks today, I left home this morning at 06.45 and just got home and I'm tired

Sounds about how my day went, too. Visited the ER all day. Not my favorite way to spend a holiday. Lol

Why is it when one thing goes wrong it opens the flood gate - as long as you survived to tell the tale.!!

I'm exhausted, too, but mostly from reading The Adventures of Gerry. Bless your heart. Try to imitate the kitten above, especially the relaxed face and total abandon. Tomorrow will be a better day.

You need a good long rest after that day! Take care of you and your health. I am not a freebie junky (lol), so I cannot speak for everyone -- but I doubt any Cuties will die if you take a day off.
