Having a Bad Day

Today I had the roughest day that I have ever had. Of all the crazy, wacky ones, this day’s been really bad. It started when I first woke up and fell out of my bed. I cut my scalp so deep the blood was dripping from my head. I found some gauze and taped it on until the bleeding stopped. I put the coffee on then in the shower quickly hopped. But then I dropped the bar of soap, that’s when I slipped and fell. I twisted my right ankle and my knee began to swell. I poured some shampoo on my head and lathered up my hair. But some of it got in my eyes and burned beyond compare. Then as I limped out of the tub and went to grab my towel. I noticed something smelled real bad, something very foul. The eggs that I was boiling were now burning in the pot. The house was filled with smoke and the alarm just wouldn’t stop. I grabbed the broom and swatted the alarm with all my might. Instead I hit the ceiling lamp and shattered the whole light. I quickly backed away as glass had flown around the room. The day was only one hour old but I was filled with doom. I opened up the windows and the smoke went streaming out. My neighbors must have called the firemen I have no doubt. Then in the hazy smoke I got some glass stuck in my foot. I guess I should have sat right down and really just stayed put. The firemen were quick to come, and call an ambulance. I felt like I was in a daze, a crazy dream or trance. The EMS removed the glass that stuck inside my feet. They bandaged up my ankle and my knee, they were so sweet. I guess I just can’t win, so back to bed I’ll go and stay. And hopefully, tomorrow it will be a better day.
