Everything seems to be going wrong at the last minute today. 
I'm off work today - so far so good. And I was going to go see the horse, but I couldn't, because it was raining too hard. 
So I went to run errands instead. First, the filling station declined my card. Then, IKEA was out of the things I wanted. And after I finally found the local saddler on a tiny back road, he told me repairing my saddle would cost more than I paid for it. 
My bicycle tyre was flat, so I walked into town (not much rain here, just up in the hills). The jewellers' where I wanted to get my watch repaired was closed. The music shop was very condescending about my recorder (no, we only repair *real* instruments, get a plastic one, they're much handier) and didn't have the reeds I needed in stock, either.
My purchase at the chemist's fell down the drain just outside. And the greengrocer was already closed, and the supermarket didn't have any squashes, so dinner was squashless. 
It's a good thing I have h2g2 to come back to, so I can blame 2legs. I never should've got out of bed in the first place!

Here, have some

Man. There definitely are days like that, aren't there? It's like one thing goes wrong and then it all starts going down like dominoes. 
The good thing is the next day's usually better.

...and now I found an e-mail saying that I'm not even getting an interview for a job I know I could do and do well. That's it. I'm going to bed

No one deserves all that in any one week. Let alone one day. I would be most cross about dropping the stuff down the drain. All the others weren't your fault.
Let's hope your next journal is the counterpart to this one - full of happy happenstances. And a brilliant job.

I woke up at 11:28am today, so that's several hours of bad luck avoided by sleeping 
for today. Buy a lottery ticket. Maybe karma will even things out, you never know

What good spirit you have. A day like that and you could still muster up the chi to laugh at it!
