Up and Down like a Yo-Yo

  I know it sounds so cliche but that is literally my day today; up and down like a yo-yo. I had a fantastic run after work today and if you would have told me that I would be running right now 5 years ago I would be doubled over, hysterically laughing at you. It just makes me feel so much better. Nothing is more satisfying then a nice long run to calm the nerves and clear the mind. I feel so accomplished and sweaty at the end it just makes me feel so happy.
  I had received my new phone in the mail today as well, a couple days early which I was ecstatic about. After about 15 minutes of being on hold to activate my phone they finally picked up and completely ruined my good mood. Apparently since I'm not the account holder I unfortunately couldn't activate the phone. Which is such complete bologna. Aaron and I went to the cell phone store and set it up where I would be able to make decisions on our cell phones before he left. Yea, apparently not so much. I feel so sorry for the guy that was helping me, I know it wasn't his fault and he was just doing his job but I was just so frustrated. I explained to him that Aaron was currently at bootcamp and there was no way he could call to activate my phone. He preceded to ask me multiple times that I was sure I couldn't reach Aaron before I just finally lost and it and might have accidentally got a little rude and explained to him that apparently he didn't realize what bootcamp meant and I unfortunately couldn't have my husband call since I couldn't even call him if I wanted to unless I felt was an emergency and called the red cross and I really don't think upgrading my phone was considered an emergency and then I hung up. I know, I'm awesome.
  It wouldn't be such a big deal besides the fact that my current phone likes to restart in a middle of a conversation which is the last thing I want when Aaron calls.
  So I hung my head in defeat and bought wine and Water For Elephants and accepted my defeat. You win some, you lose some and I'm chalking today up as a lost and calling it done.
35 days. 35 long stinking days probably filled with a ton of more yo-yo days.


Sidenote: I was able to go into the store the next day and they were very happy to activate the phone for me. Thank goodness.
