This week is supposed to be Golden Week. So far it has been anything but golden for me.
It all started with Harper being given his elusive majority government. I won't go into political rantings here but suffice it to say that I was less than thrilled.
Then late last night I discovered that my plans to go to Tokyo today had fallen through and I would not be going anywhere fun and exciting. I had managed to come to terms with this and decided that I might as well get out of the apartment and go for a bike ride since it was such a nice day outside. I biked along the river and into downtown Maebashi to check out a store I had been meaning to explore. I found a really nice pair of earrings to take home with me and as I was biking home I was thinking about how the day turned out to be rather nice after all.
Then I got hit by a car.
I'm ok but I was rather shaken up by the experience. My bike is a little worse for wear but still functional and a brand new shirt I was wearing for the first time today got torn. While I was failing to hold back tears as I biked back home along the river a gust of wind blew my newly purchased earrings out of my basket, down the path and into the river never to be seen again. As I futilely searched for my bag all I managed to find was this dead lizard. FML.

a prize-winning No Good Terrible Horrible Bad Day story. Let's hope that you are showered with good luck to make up, and soon!!
You know what I do when I start getting shit on like that. I look at that picture of the monkey you posted on here, and try to let my stress/anxiety just melt into that calming simian expression.
What a day! Hopefully things turn around a bit and you have a wonderful time.
And yes, look at the monkey. Monkey.
Think of it this way, you could be lizard.
