Day 4 - 208 -- The Waiting Game

Much time was spent staring at a flickering screen to edit and pull together several major documents. A late meeting meant heading home after 7:30 PM to a very late supper. An early phone message left me wondering if there was some conspiracy afoot or if fate just wanted to continue to mess with me. Parts for the car were ordered yesterday with the promise of delivery today. One of the two parts ordered arrived today with the other now expected tomorrow. The part that has to be replaced first is the one that will arrive last. So -- the car has been at the garage for four days. I was to have it back today, but now wonder if it will really be ready tomorrow.

When you get your hopes up or almost make plans, it is very defeating when fate intervenes. I understand that online ordering can fail when two orders for the single item in inventory will mean that one gets the item a nanosecond before the other order. On the upside, the back order was available from another national warehouse and we didn't have to go around the world to find the elusive item. Positive thoughts are in place for tomorrow to be reunited with my vehicle and get to the outlying areas for the errands left undone on Monday. <fingers crossed>

There were a few moments early in the day when I felt the universe laughing at me. One song only came to mind from that moment -- one by a wonderful Canadian band from the '70s. The youthfulness of the lead voice gives me chills now just as it always has -- and still does <smile>. Enjoy!
