bad luck — part 101

Apr 22, 2022

Everyone needs to stay totally clear of me and my bad luck of late. Seriously… I’m a walking shit show waiting to happen right now.

Mountain Dew for miles.

I placed my Walmart order on Wednesday for delivery yesterday. While I expected I’d likely have items out of stock or substituted, I didn’t expect what I got.

So someone else got my order and I got their Mountain Dew. I called Walmart and got someone at the “service desk.” I listened as she called out, “WHAT’S THE NUMBER FOR OGP? WHAT’S THE TRANSFER NUMBER FOR OGP?” Finally, someone gave her a number because I was transferred. She transferred me back to HER number. 🙄

After about an hour, the Dew was gone and my groceries were delivered. Not only did all my stuff sit outside for an hour, the boxes (spaghetti, Mom’s pie crusts, etc.) were smushed. 😕

And then I almost ate dog poop.

Mowing the yard late afternoon, I missed picking up a pile of dog excrement and got my weed eater in it by accident. I was slinging dog poop like a boss! It covered my shirt and I felt the wet stinky stuff slapping my face… really close to all facial orifices. I thought I was bouta’ puke, you guys.

Here’s hoping bad luck is in my rear view mirror for awhile… the view is getting old.
