Technically, it was a pretty crappy day.

For some reason I don't feel like it was a crappy day.  You know that beat-down feeling you get at the end of a rotten day, where you just wish you had rolled back over and never gotten out of bed.  I didn't actually realize it was crappy until someone asked about my day and I was recounting it.

It started off with Miss E (the toddler) waking up earlier than usual.  I went into her room and she had thrown up sometime in the night, so it was all over her crib and in her hair.  Poor little thing!  I felt terrible that I hadn't woken up or heard her at all.  But she seemed to feel fine (said she was hungry and asked for a waffle), so we got up, cleaned the crib, had a quick bath and it was off to school.

Meanwhile, Tucker (the standard poodle extraordinaire) had to be taken to the vet by The Hub.  [Backstory:  several weeks ago he developed a mass on his back, which had to be surgically removed and resulted in a 4-inch-long wound with stitches.] His wound had healed over--apparently poorly--because it burst open last night and began oozing and bleeding.  Gross, and it was clearly bothering him a lot.

Then mid-day at work I got a message from the daycare saying that Miss E was coughing and seemed lower-energy than usual.  This is saying something, so I scheduled an appointment, left work early and took her to the doctor.  She's fine--just a virus going around and over the counter medications are all we need.  However, in my haste to get over the HEB after the doctor's appointment and before any snack-time related meltdowns, I managed to get in a wreck.

OK, wreck may be too strong a word.  It was a fender-bender at best.  We were both going about 2 mph and Miss E didn't even realize what had happened.  BUT STILL.  Like I needed this.  The other driver was very nice, we exchanged info, and I decided that my general world karma was not at an all-time high so I scrapped the medicine errand and just focused on getting us home in one piece.

What a day.

But, like I said, for some reason I'm feeling...well, a little bit chipper, even.   Nonetheless, a stiff nightcap is on the menu for the evening.
