In which is is not my day
Nov. 11th, 2005 10:08 amThis morning has not been my morning, in the way that yesterday evening was not my evening.
Yesterday, I went off to visit some lovely people about Winter Bazaar booths and discovered that none of them could make it, because it is a Saturday. I've been hearing that a lot. We'll see what the numbers say this year, but I'm seriously leaning towards moving back to a Sunday format to get some of the old vendors back. We've got a pretty full house this year, but I'd still rather have some of the folks that couldn't make it this year. We'll see.
So anyway, one of the places I visited last night was Crescent Springs (which is a little pagan shop in old Overland Park). It seems like I always am there in their last open hour of the day, and there's rarely anyone in there, and the proprietors are always reading cards. So yesterday, they're playing with a deck of Goddess cards -- each card has a painting of a Goddess and some thematic words. Very pretty deck. So they ask me if I want to pull a card, to see who was looking out for me, or whatnot, and I do. And I pull Sekhmet. So that about figures.
Then, I was supposed to go to a registration meeting at University of Phoenix, but I spent so much time talking to people about the bazaar that I was too late to go in, so I just went home.
To cap this all off, this morning, I was driving to work on the highway, sort of in the clear, no other vehicles within 200-300 feet of me. And I'm thinking, "This is nice, this never happens." And, all of a sudden, BAM!! Something falls out of the sky, and smacks into my windshield at ten million miles an hour, cracking it, almost going all the way through the windshield. No clue what it was. Couldn't have possibly come off another vehicle. At this point, I'm guessing meteorite.
Anyway, I'm hoping that's all the bad luck I'm in for for the next little bit.
