Not The Answer I Was Looking For

It was a Friday afternoon in May. I was at work and anxiously waiting to get the weekend started, however, in the back of my mind something was gnawing at me.  Had I lost track of time?  Was it the medication? I was sure it was the medication. So I contacted a friend to help me clear out my head a little.  We did the back and forth where I told her what was going on and she confirmed my thoughts and theories.

By lunch time I'd made a decision.  It was time to put this to bed.  I was sure I already knew the answer and I wanted confirmation.  There was no need in this nonsense taking up any of more of my time or energy.  I had things to do.  I was ready to put my feet up, enjoy some fellowship with friends, and take in the beautiful spring weather.

I was 33 years old.  As I got in my car to run my errand I thought - huh, this is the first time I've had to do this.  I was so sure of the answer that I refused to waste any money because of flashy names or claims.  I'll take the one for a dollar, thank you.   They were all going to give me the answer I was looking for so why waste money?

Imagine my surprise when, much to my shock and horror, the answer I was so sure I was going to get was replaced by two little blue lines...
