Heterodox Knocks

               



 Today was just the strangest day. I couldn't sleep last night. I was too hot, then too cold, then I needed to pee. Then the vicious cycle just kept continuing all night. I looked at my phone it said 3.10am, and I'm thinking I need to get up soon for work and I haven't even slept yet. I must of dropped off soon after that and woke up with a start thinking what time is it. I look at my phone it says 6.10am . Oh crap i must of put the alarm off and gone back to sleep. I've normally left for work by this time. I whip on my clothes, do my hair and clean my teeth simultaneously, grab my lunch from the fridge and am out of the door by 6.25am. I eat my breakfast while driving erratically well over the speed limit. I arrive at work 3 minutes late and what the heck I'm the first one to arrive for my shift. Both my co workers were late. The shift was just one disaster after another. I  had to phone the paramedics to come out twice in an hour.The two washing machines broke down, the sink dropped through the counter, and that was before 9am. The worst though was the door alarm went off and we couldn't shut it off until the alarm company came out 3 hours later . That incessant sound giving me a throbbing headache. By lunchtime I am desperate to pee. Go to the bathroom and realize in my haste this morning. I put on my yoga pants inside out and back to front and no one even told me. I finally got my lunch break checked my phone and saw my daughter had phoned me 6 times. So, then I'm panicking something is wrong with her or the baby. But thankfully it was only something minor and nothing to be worried about.  I finish work after feeling like I've worked a 24 hour shift and not 8 hours. I go to the bank on my way home and someone starts knocking on my car window. I turn and realize it's a former friend. Not sure how to react, I get out of the car and we end up going for coffee. I haven't seen him since we broke up over a year ago. Surprisingly it was good to catch up and talk about what happened. We broke up over a text message. Or rather a lack of one. I'd sent him a message which required a yes or no response within 24 hours. He read it ignored it and took 4 days to respond. By which time I was so angry. So, then I took 4 days to respond to him. He totally lost his shit and told me it was over. My response being fine have a good life . In reality we had both lost interest. Things had not been going good for the prior month. We were both looking for a way out. We have both moved on and are both happier. So, it was good to talk in person and get rid of the animosity between us. We won't meet ever again the door has been closed tightly now for good.
