once upon a time my day was 2 out of 10...

once upon a time, it was monday.
the worst kind of monday.
the kind that gets a 2 out of 10 on the "how good has your day been" scale.

why?

• i'm sick. consequently: my voice is fairly nonexistent.
• related story: i went to maceys to buy some fruit to make a smoothie for my terribly pained throat and unresponsive vocal chords. some employee said "good morning" to me. i smiled in return; unable to vocally acknowledge him. apparently offended by my lack of verbal response, he muttered "or not!" <---- i was very upset by this experience. 
1. if you say "good morning" to be nice: it's not actually being nice if it's only sincere if the receiving end verbally reciprocates.
2. i'm sick! i have no voice! don't be an insensitive weenie- at least i freaking smiled!!! i don't do that for everyone!

• my throat hurts.
• it's monday, my temperature is 99, and i have to go to class.
• i forgot to print off my citations page. for the essay i have to turn in. today!
• i dont have a printer.
• now i might not have time to eat lunch before work, because i have to find out how to print my paper and turn it in.
• oh, p.s: i have to skip a class because of this problematic situation. (in all fairness, it felt good to be back to my old tricks: skipping class like back in the glory days***.) 
• i have a blister, but my boots were so adorable, i couldn't not wear them
• i'm still not married to harry styles. (?)

pretty bad, right?

fear not!!

now this is the story of about how my day got flipped, turned upside down.

(props if you read that in tune)

• i listened to plenty of one direction as i worked, and it was quite cathartic. (woohoo for ap psych. vocab!) (wait. i learned something in high school!?)
• apparently tomorrow is national homemade cookie day, and since my roommates and i have a obsession addiction healthy liking for food, we decided: we will celebrate that holiday.
•  my fantastic family heard of my 2 out of 10 day, and surprised me at work with a sandwich, soup and a smoothie!
• one minute i was sending them texts saying things like, "quit ignoring my texts; i'm bored" and "têtes bêtes", next thing i know, some crazed group is knocking on the windows of boostability, dancing like hooligans and whatarethosefreaksdoi-
• thats my family!!!  

• we went to the dollar store and found some pretty sweet halloween deals. par exemple: a frankenstein dish, eyeball chocolates and pens shaped like needles that look like they have blood in them. (its not as creepy as it sounds. its cool. and they were 49 cents. i had to.)

• denver got his mission call and he called me really late at night and i was really confused because: why is denver calling me? denver never calls me..maybethisisanaccidentalpocketcall? even if its a real call, i barely have a voice..........ohwelli'llpickupanyway.

• bam! not an accidental pocket call!

denver is going to michigan! january 29! english speaking!

fantastic.

that's how my 2 out of 10 day turned into a 9.7 out of 10 day. (-.3 because i was sick. and anyway, i can't say 10 out of 10- what kind of pessimist would i be if i did that!?)

stay hot, my friends.

***i used to fervently detest when people referred to high school as the glory days. but you know? looking back over high school, it was actually pretty great.

but:

only when i was ditching class.

usually to go home and watch netflix with my mom.

ahhh, ditching class, ....good memories

.....there were a lot of "good memories"  ;)
