*GROWLS* part 1

Today, the 5th of December, 2009 was a day a lot happened. Pranav celebrated his birthday today and so did lil' Maria kutty. It was also the worst day of my life. I've not had a day like this in a long time.. so I guess I had this coming :|

So in an attempt to make myself feel better( and also to allow you, dear reader, to sympathize with me---sympathize.NOW!) I want to write down, in order, just how this day managed to go from passably ok to worse than that.
It started like all bad days do. I was supposed to go for a long walk(or wong lock, whichever you prefer) in the morning, in an attempt to rid myself of some of the guilt of not exercising lately. The plan was made, the alarm was set and I slept right through it. I woke up feeling even more guilty than before.

Then comes my work. I have crap loads of work to finish before my exams so I sit down and try to finish one of them...an illustration project with mucho! zeal and determination to get this done before the day is out! Turns out the one day I manage to get all my proportions wrong happened to be...TODAY! And then the electricity kept going and coming, and going. and coming...and going...and....coming. and then it goes for good! So I thought "aaah what the hoo!" I might as well go to sleep. I had put oil on my head and thought I'd wash it off before heading to my local guardian's place for her daughter's birthday party. The plan was made, the alarm was set.

ResQ gives me a call. There was trapped dog in Kalyani Nagar. (well, so much for the whole sleeping idea) Off I go, biscuits in hand, oil on my head, no money in my wallet and the drowsiest expression on my face! I pick up Sruti along the way and we reach the colony where the dog is 'trapped'. Here it turns out we didn't have to do anything. It was a dog that was randomly 'la-di-da'ing and walking around in that colony and ended up hiding underneath a car because it was too scared from all the attention it was getting from the anxious colony dwellers. Now, I know they mean well...but it's hard to justify their eagerness to bring goodness into world, by pulling out every cat in a tree or every dog they think is in need of help, right when I am in the middle of my bad day.
