Bad Luck Friday

This past Friday June 4th, was not my best day at all. My brother got my bike stolen by some Mexican(s) while going to his baby mothers house at 3am to get his son food and clothes. Who told him to leave the bike outside so late? Matter fact, who told him he can take my bike out the house without my permission. So now he owes me $170. I had the bike for two years and barely rode it. It was like new.

So anyway, Friday morning I had to meet him to get my money. He tells me he only has about $80 to give me. I said fine, you owe me $90 more. After he leaves, I decided to get on my mother’s home computer to do some homework discussions. I was parked right outside but I completely forgot that there is alternate side parking on my mothers block. There’s no parking on her side at 9:30 am and I received a ticket at 9:37am. I was so pissed but I was afraid too. I didn’t know what to tell my uncle. The car and plates are in his friends name and he was so angry that I got a parking ticket. Although it was only a fine for $45 I wanted to pay it right away. However, my uncle told me the ticket probably is not in the system yet and that I should wait about 10 days before I pay it. It was minor but I thought to myself, there is a first time for everything.

Then I went to work that same day. It could have been better if I didn’t have a serious migraine or this wicked cold that I caught. Nonetheless, my day at work was okay. I had to inform my supervisor that I wouldn’t be coming in on Monday June 7th, because that is the day of my mothers Graduation. She was fine with me taking the day off. But once I asked my mother what time was her graduation ceremony starting on Monday, she looked at me like I was crazy. Come to find out the actual date of her graduation is Thursday June 17th, but it wasn’t my fault. My mother has been telling me the wrong date all this time for almost a month that it will be held on June 7th. All I could do is shake my head in disbelief. I told my mom that I already took the day off and she said for me to go ahead to work anyways.

Then as I sat there and think to myself, all I could say was “what a day” and lay back on the couch lost in my own thoughts. Now I have to make everything right.
