A shitty day in a nutshell

Last night coming home I reflected on how many shitty turns the day had gifted me with. I pull up to the mailbox blankly and rolled my window down. I glanced up to the sky to see heaven itself a touch closer as the coolness of the night rushed over me.. “ahh” I thought, the fresh air feels good. I back up and continue my trek home with the window down. I turned up the XM radio a bit blasting the best of the 80’s and rested my elbow on the window seal. About home I see a bird fly up over the hood.. “Aw boy, you just made it fella” I whispered to myself. About that time I felt something warm that then turned cold on my elbow. I think to myself. “WTF is that?” I touch it… sure enough. That bird shit on my elbow as it was getting some height to fly away.. I sat there.. with slick bird shit now smeared on my hands, my tshirt and now the seal of the window.. no napkin handy, I wipe the birdshit on the bottom of my jeans..I laughed as I pulled up to the house.. what are the odds. A clear definition of a shitty day..

BUT.. then… I got busy letting my hound out to bark and carry on, brought in all the groceries, putting things away, etc. Everything set, I say, “I am going to bed, screw it”. I wander into the bathroom for my night time ritual of washing my face and brushing my pearly whites. I brush my teeth first. As I finished, I cupped my hands under the cold water. I leaned down and sipped the water like an old cow at a water tank and then it hit me. Shit… did I wash my hands when I got home from all the bird shit that was smeared on them? Hmm.. I honestly didn’t remember. But I think that it was a strong, NOPE. HAHA..

yea a shitty day, in a nutshell.
