what can you do...?

i learned something very valuable today: when things dont go as planned, what can you do...?
  1. get over it.
  2. make the best of it.
  3. and then move on.
here's the story.

today i was supposed to run some errands. for reasons that arent worth getting into, i could not find the car in the parking lot. :S

time was ticking and i realized that i probably wouldnt be able to do all my errands. so i started getting very frustrated...my heels were killing me, i had no idea where the car was, i couldnt get ahold of meags, it was windy and cold, i was in a skirt, i was wasting time, i needed to get those things done today (or so i thought), and i had so many other things to do. but it wasnt happening.

at one point, amidst my frustration, i realized that i was being ridiculous. there really was no point in getting upset. it wasnt worth getting frustrated. i didnt have to do all those things today. and it really wasnt a big deal. so i convinced myself to get over it.

and then i changed out of my killer heels, put on long pants, and decided to be productive while i waited for meags to get out of her show.

and just as you might have guessed, everything worked out just fine.
