BAD LUCK!!

So. The past few weeks have been filled with a whole lotta bad luck for me. First, the week before finals I get uber sick and find out I have mono.....and on top of that I get strep throat!! Next I find out from my adviser at school that we both overlooked a class that I need to take to graduate.....I was able to walk but I get to do an online class this summer- whoohoo!! The day after graduation, Mother's day, my boyfriend left for North Carolina for the next 3 months :( It's really sucked not having him!! He's the best!! Plus I can't do a whole lot because I'm a sicky and all I can think about is him....but I leave for EFY in 4 weeks so then I will be busy busy.

With all that has been thrown at me I've done pretty well, I've complained but I've tried to keep that to a minimum until last Wednesday night. I went up to Logan to work a few shifts at my old job. I started with the 3-10pm shift with my favorite clients, then I had to work the grave shift, 12-9am, at another client's. The first shift was kind of hard because it was sunny outside and my cute clients just wanted to watch tv and I was tired of sitting. But nothing could have prepared me for the grave shift. Before going to the house I went to Walmart and bought myself a small blender and some things to make a protein shake (I love protein shakes). I got to my client's and left all my stuff in the car and waited until after I checked on her to go out and get everything. When I went and got everything out of my car, I left my key on the backseat and out of habit locked the doors. CRAP!! So I called the Logan police and the dispatcher said that the police officers don't carry the equipment anymore to unlock car doors and that I'd have to call a locksmith. Shoot-dang. I called a Locksmith. Really?! It's gonna cost 50-75 bucks?! No way man! So I called one of my best friends in the whole world and asked if he could come and help me. He did. He even brought one of our other friends. After a good hour and a half in the cold night with freezing winds.....a miracle happened and they got my keys out!! Seriously it shouldn't have worked, but every time I went in to check on my client I said a prayer!! I was so grateful for those boys!! They were my heroes!!

So, by 5AM Thursday morning, I was feeling really sick so I called the manager and she came in at 6 AM so I could go home. I was staying with my best friend, Jess, where she was house-sitting. Of course she wasn't awake at 6:15 AM so I called, texted her, and knocked on the door...no response. I was so tired that I just decided to get in my car and sleep until she woke up ;) While I was sleeping I missed a call from my sweet boyfriend who was checking to make sure everything was okay after he woke up to all of my frantic texts about my stupid keys!! But it gets worse! Jess came out and woke me up so I could go in and go back to sleep in the house. I was very tired and got my blanket and bag and went in. Once we got in the house Jessica asked about how I locked my keys in my car....I froze. I dropped my things and ran out to my car. Sure enough I had done it again. My doors were locked and the keys in the ignition. REALLY?! I about died!! I was so dead that I went to sleep and decided to worry about it when I woke up.

I called a locksmith and talked him down to charging me only $25 to unlock the stupid car. He felt bad for me when I told him my story and took pitty on me. I was okay with that. These 24 hours were pretty rough, but I got through it and was ready for anything else that was thrown at me.....except when I got an email informing me that the U2 concert on June 3rd has been postponed because Bono had to have back surgery. Icing on the cake. I cried. I've been waiting for this concert since I was 6 years old. Boo. All I can say is that if it is rescheduled for while I'm in Oregon/Washington this summer, I will not be a happy camper!!
