In my case at least, The Beatles had it wrong. Yesterday, did not in fact make my troubles seem far away. Yesterday actually gave me a lot of troubles. Today was much better.
Yesterday I woke up really early and drove to town to babysit. Yesterday my babysittees woke up really early. REALLY early. Yesterday I had a decrease in self-esteem. Yesterday I had dress-rehearsal, and a ballroom dress that my director did not like. Yesterday half the cast still did not know their lines. Yesterday the costume changes went horribly and took way too long, as did the scene changes. Yesterday I backed into a car leaving rehearsal. But after that, everything got better.
It was as if my horrible day just accumulated into that one horrible event, the worst of all, and then said "You know what? She's had enough. This is a wonderful climax to an awful day, she should be left alone now."
Yesterday, after leaving rehearsal, I went to Sonic with two friends, one of whom's parents own that Sonic, so he got me a free drink. A big free drink. Yesterday I drove to my grandparents with my big Sonic drink. Yesterday, at their house, I watched Friends with my Uncle and started laughing and feeling better. Yesterday I helped a friend with a summer assignment and then went to bed.
Today I woke up and went to babysit. Today my babysittees woke up 45 minutes before their mother got home, giving me time to relax and calm myself from the stress of yesterday. Today my babysittees mother informed me that her class is cancelled for tomorrow, so I get to sleep in. Today I went home and relaxed and didn't worry about the play. Today I finished a summer assignment that I had been worrying about, and I feel that I did pretty well on it. Today I got to blog all my troubles away. Today I am cooking dinner and having friends over to swim and just hang out with me. Today, undoubtedly, all my troubles seemed so far away.
So sorry McCartney and Lennon. Your song, at least this time, just didn't cut it for me.
