Everyone has one of those days. You know the kind. The one where everything that you do or don't do, goes wrong!

Yesterday, was my day!

I thought I would start Saturday off by just doing the things that needed to get done and then relaxing for the rest of the day, NOT!

I start my Saturdays off by mowing yards for people. Well that shouldn't be too much of a problem. I went to my job as usual, everything was fine. I mow a very large yard pretty early in the morning and I try not to wake the owners. So here I am sitting on a garden tractor and everything is fine, until I have to back up and the mower goes in reverse at about 1/2 inch per minute, if I'm lucky. I keep mowing and then when the owners get up I tell them that it won't go in reverse. I'm trying to show them what I mean and of course, the mower goes into reverse just fine! (The beginning of a bad day, I think)

Next I go home thinking it's still early, I'll mow my own yard, no problem. That lasted maybe ten minutes. My riding mower is still sitting on a high spot in my yard with the back wheels off the ground. (Haven't figured out how to push the mower, while still being seated) to get it off the high spot... Maybe tomorrow.

Day is done and now I just want to relax for the evening. Children have moved out, animals are all settled for the night. Knock, Knock.... Company shows up. OK still no problem, we're sitting in my living room, talking and having a good time... You guessed it, something happens. We hear a bang from my cockatiels cage. I look up in time to see my female jump(?) from the top of the cage to the bottom, she's done it before... no problem. Ten minutes later, Company says .. Why does the bird lay on the bottom of the cage like that? Is it sleeping? Lo and behold, bird has committed suicide! I don't understand why, she had a good home, good parents, good mate.

Let's see if going to bed will solve this day!!
