Rough Week

It's been kind of a rough week.

Last weekend we brought home a new puppy. Max is adorable, and has all the making of a fantastic family dog. But as can be expected, there is a certain level of stress, work, and sleeplessness that accompanies a new puppy.

Monday morning I crashed my truck on the way to work. The Sheriffs Department didn't want to give me a ticket. The local PD didn't want to give me a ticket. When the Highway Patrol got there he refused to take his had off his gun, was very standoffish, and gave me a ticket. My kind wife didn't say anything, but I know having to pay a ticket effects both of us. Did I mention my truck is less than a month old? Or that it's a truck I have been dreaming of for a very, very long time?

Tuesday I learned it is going to cost $7300 to fix my truck. My State Farm Insurance rates will go up (not by much, and I really like State Farm, but it still hurts). The appraisers also warned me that if I filed a claim, the truck would have a tarnished history report and I may have trouble selling or trading it in the future. I am just concerned it will never be repaired to a picky caveman's standard.

Wednesday my leg workout was less than stellar. A little thing I know. But when you are counting on leg day to release the stress that accumulates during the week, it is a bit of a let down.

Thursday something else happened that I don't want to talk about. But it made me feel bad.

This morning (Friday) I realized I am out of coffee filters. No problem, I thought, I will just make a cup with my trusted Keurig when I get to work. My plan would have been flawless had my Kuerig not just eaten one my favorite K-cups, and filled itself with grounds. It's never done this before. I assume it was just feeling left out since every thing else around me seems to be behaving difficultly this week.

In hindsight, I suppose everything that has happened is still not as bad as being chased by a hungry dinosaur.
