I train dogs. I like it. To keep my edge, I volunteer at the local animal shelter here in town Thursday mornings. So I woke up at 5:30 to get there by 6 to walk the dogs, only I was greeted at the door with "Oh I guess you didn't get the e-mail, one of the dogs has parvo so they're all under quarantine. No walks today."
Awesome. Good to know now that AFTER I woke up 2 hours early to get here. So I figured I'd go to the gym. That usually gets me going and wakes me up.
I went home and got my stuff out of my room, thinking I had everything I needed for the day. After finding my parking spot (yes, it's mine) I went to the locker room and began to pull out my gear. Shoes...Check. I POD.....Check. Deodorant cologne razor hair gel and clean undies.....Check. Towel.... ......... um....... DAMMIT! Forgot to grab one.
I imagine there are worse things in this world than having to dry oneself in the gym shower room with a wash cloth, but I just really don't like it! It's just a horrible combination of that naked walk of shame to the shower with my undies and a wash cloth in hand, knowing the old guys in the sauna are laughing at me, and the fact this was the 3rd or 4th time I've done this in the last 2 months. Freaking Weak.
So I went to call my girlfriend and wish her a good morning, only to realize I forgot my phone at home. After I realized this I actually reached for my phone to call her and tell her not to call me because I forgot it.... needless to say I felt dumb.
The High Point:
Birds flew into my store! I heard it smack the big window and ran over to grab the pigeon, or rather what I thought was a pigeon. It turned out to be a effing FALCON. Never seen one up close before, but it's talons were sharp, it looked really pissed, and I really didn't feel like touching it. So I got my buddy Tim to do it.
I got home looking forward to relaxing with a cold beer, only to find out that my dogs escaped the yard and were out causing CHAOS for the better part of the afternoon. So I had to go do damage control with the neighbors and finally got home at 7:20.
So now I'm finally sitting here with my beer and have VENTED IT ALL!
Thanks for reading.

That is quite the day, I blame the dogs. They started and ended your day. Tomorrow will be better. Make sure and get out and comment on other's blogs so people know you're out there.
Wow! that's a crazy day. I think I need a beer just reading about it!
