Newt the Wonder Frog and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

Today was a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

I got up and went to the gym and when I went outside, I found my truck had a flat. That was when I knew it was going to be a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

I took Diana's car to the gym and when I got there I realized I didn't bring my towel. That is really when I knew it was going to be a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

I came home from the gym and had to change the tire on my truck. While taking off one of the lug nuts I bent the bolt it was on. That is when I actually knew it was going to be a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

I took the tire to the NTB(National Tire and Battery) to have the flat fixed. It turns out that the tire was ruined by the piece of wire that had punctured it. I had to buy a new tire to replace it and that was what confirmed that it was going to be a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

As I was waiting for the tire to be fixed, the technician came and asked about the bolt being difficult to remove the nut from. He came back five minutes later to tell me that it had broken off and would need to be replaced. That was the cherry on the sundae that made me sure it was going to be a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

I checked out and had to pay $275 to get the tire, oil change, and new bolt on my truck. No doubt in my mind that it was going to be a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

We went to a housewarming party and I had a burger and a beer and...wait. What was I saying?

That is all,

Newt
