Bad Day Ends on High Note

Yesterday was a bad day for me.  I don't dwell on the bad days since I assume you need bad days to have good days, relatively speaking.  I won't get into specifics, but my work day did not go well.  Several attempts at scheduling were thwarted since I needed the time/attention of individuals who were not willing to provide it.  After work, I picked up Myra Grace, which all things being equal was better than usual until I had to prepare for the night's Carolina Hurricanes game against the Florida Panthers, to which we had tickets.  With the colder weather, packing up baby becomes more complex by adding multiple layers of clothing, not to mention accessorizing with hats and gloves.  After finally getting in the car with everything we needed, I get a call from Abby telling me that we did not pay the nanny this week.  So I had to detour.  This is about the time that Myra Grace decided that riding in the car was not for her.  She presented her case at high volume levels.  Finally, we meet Abby at the game.  Unfortunately, Abby had a less than stellar day as well.  We shared our bad day stories which left us both a little weary. 

Once in the RBC Center, we decided to reward our collective bad days with a tasty beverage.  However during the game tragedy struck as my half full (half empty?) beverage was spilled on the floor.  As if the tasty beverages were not expensive enough, getting half value really hurts.  So my day gets even worse.  To top it off, the Canes were having a similar bad day as they entered the 3rd period to the tune of a 0-3 deficit.  A fitting end to my crap-tacular day.  However, something sparked the Canes as they scored 5 unanswered goals to begin the 3rd period.  I had never seen such an offensive onslaught, especially in contrast to the uninspired, dare I say boring, play of the first two periods.  The Canes skated out of the RBC Center with a 6-4 victory after setting a franchise record for goals scored in a period.  Not to mention that family time at the hockey game was quite rewarding.

I guess I learned that even when things are going poorly, good things can be right around the corner
