two failures in a row

I failed to even place in the top three of five contestants in the Toastmasters area contest last night. Any tonight I failed my first Calc II exam. I was pretty mad at myself for the exam on the way home, but I’ve cooled off now.

I probably set myself up for this earlier when I told my coworker this morning that today felt like it was destined to be a bad day. I felt grumpy/irritable all day even before I had a reason to be that way.

Earlier this week, I got the results of my second cholesterol test that came out high along with Crestor samples from my cardiologist and a prescription for a third cholesterol test in a month. I have a follow-up appointment with him tomorrow, and I am sure my blood pressure is going to be high despite the metoprolol.

I also have until the end of this month to get my car to pass the emissions test, so I spent the hour before my exam calling garages to find out who would diagnos the problem for the lowest price. I have to take it in tomorrow before my appointment in order to have a chance at getting it fixed before the registration runs out.

I’m falling behind a bit at work too. Not cool.
