A short story…

Keith's Ramblings

for Friday Fictioneers

I’ve had a bad day.  I had an argument over a parking space, trapped my finger in the car door and dropped my phone whilst dialling the wrong number.  The ‘dead-cert’ horse I bet on still hasn’t reached the finishing post and my tub of ice cream melted on the way home.

So I thought I’d go to the pub, but I dropped my beer and cut my hand picking up broken glass.

Only one thing for it.  A comforting candle-lit bath, lolling in warm bubbly water, sipping malt whisky and listening to Beethoven.

Unfortunately, I slipped climbing in, bumped my head………

    Dear Keith,

    Some days are like that, aren’t they? Poor fella. Perhaps he should stay in bed tomorrow. I have to admit, I am laughing at his misfortune. 😉

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

    I say you deserve an entire pint of Häagen-Dazs all to yourself.
    And find some one to give you a hug. That’s the best medicine of all.
    Unless you don’t have any friends. Then just eat the ice cream and take a long nap.
    Things will be better tomorrow. ;0)

    A truly miserable day, and yet I’m pretty sure we’re all getting a good laugh out of it. Human nature is twisted!

    Mama said there’ll be days like this
    There’ll be days like this mama said (Mama said, mama said)

    Seems like Mama was right.

    Hi Keith … a spell in hospital too? Certainly a tale of woe – I think I could probably add to that after the disasters I’ve recently had … but thankfully all sorted themselves out … cheers Hilary

    There are days where we would just like to crawl back into bed and start over!

    Make sure someone hasn’t lit a fire under the tub! (comment inspired by your froggie pic 🙂 )

    Oy, vey. I don’t think ice-cream will fix THAT … 😉
    A lot like the adult version of “Alexander and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day…”

    What a terrible day, and to top it off, your ice cream melted. Oy, that’s the worst. Hope your day improves! Entertaining story as always, Keith. =)

    Sometimes you get days like that. If you’re very unlucky, you might get two.

    On the bright side, the radio didn’t fall into the tub. That could have been an electrifying experience!

    That sounds like one of those days it’s better to stay in bed. I’m sure something bad would have happened there, too.

    Sounds like ‘one of those days’. But very funny.
