Crash and Burn from a blue sky

Yesterday I was out doing more stuff on the new house. I had to go finish picking out the lighting fixtures and had to pick up a check for the new tv and sound system I bought for the new house. Got that done and was feeling really good, things are falling into place. Then I came back home and brought lunch for Michael and I. I was catching up on emails when my sister called. She was stuck in traffic so we talked for a bit. She missed her hair appointment because of this traffic jam. She decided to take her car tot he dealership and have them check it out and change the oil. She wanted to get a rental but they didn't have anythign to drive so I asked her if she wanted to go with me to pick out the tile for the new house. She said sure and asked if I could take her home and of course I said sure. Now everything was going great. I get to pick out the tile and talk to the guy about the carpet and all of a sudden he is telling me the carpet I picked out is actually a different price than what he told me. SO, I say well that's too much and told he he had told me a different price which btw was his price on the carpet. Now how would I have known that? So I said well what have you got with that same color. Of course there is nothing. The colors of tile I had picked out were based on the carpet color. Sort of it Sis and I went to another carpet store and found another carpet that I liked plus it would match the tile but decided we look at different tile. Since the guy wasn't truthful about the carpet we both decided that chosing a different tile might be good. So now we are back to the right color thing again. Plus the hardwood floor is cheaper at this other place.

So all in all I didn't feel bad about my day and was happy. Oh and I found my smartass bone again. It's been missing since the divorce. So I was feeling pretty good. Then I don't know what happened but there seem to be some kind of communication problem and I feel like someone is mad at me now. Or were mad at me last night anyway. I tossed and turned all night as my mind tried to work through this problem. It may not be a problem but it felt like one. This morning I'm still feeling it and I don't like it. It makes me want to scream out I didn't do anything.

So my day went from pretty damn good to what happened?
