The Learning Curve of Life

Sometimes, life throws you a few lessons. Here are some I have learned this week:

• If you begin the washer, make sure that there are actually clothes in it.
  
• If you carry around a large purse with several odd items (pretzels, a bike lock, a fork), eventually people will notice.
• Scheduling a full day's worth of appointments on the last day of the fiscal year is not a smart idea.
• The world did not end on June 30, 2010, as previously though by several of my co-workers. A new computer system+Medicaid changes does not = Apocalypse.
• I likely will not remember this individual day years from now. Whether it was horrible or great really will have little bearing on what I think of myself at this age.
• 26 is my currently lucky number. It's the number of years I am, the number of months ahead in my student loans I am, and the number of miles I will likely run in October at an upcoming marathon.
• Apparently, I remind people of being depressed because I am a therapist.
• Aromatherapy and a night out of complaining and talking about life really do do wonders for stress levels.
• Too many days of training will lead to dead legs...boy, is that fun.
• The only day I borrow a vehicle outside of my family, there will a car accident with it.
• Taking my car to the shop does not necessarily guarantee that it will be totally fixed.
