The Hair Appointment Saga: A Comedy of Errors

Some days, life throws you a gentle curveball. Other days, it hurls the entire circus at you before noon. Today was one of those days.

Step one: Get out of bed and shower. Should be simple enough, right? Except it felt like an Olympic event, and I wasn’t even sure I’d signed up for the competition. Nevertheless, I powered through, emerging victorious and smelling vaguely like accomplishment.

Then came the

**hunt for the car keys**

a classic thriller in which I am both protagonist and detective, searching for an item that simply evaporates when needed. Eventually, the keys reappeared, smugly sitting somewhere I swear I had already checked.

With keys in hand, I finally set off—only to remember that my hairdresser operates on an old-school cash-only basis. A minor inconvenience, unless you’re me, and you use your card so infrequently that recalling the PIN is akin to unlocking a long-forgotten prophecy. Thus began the

**great cash machine adventure**,

featuring a quick tutorial on how to look up a PIN and a moment of panic when my fingers hovered over the keypad, questioning my entire existence.

Now, you’d think this would be the end of my trials. Oh, how naive. Enter:

*The Pedestrian Showdown.**

My electric car, silent as a sneaky ninja, was reversing when a woman strolled right into my path—without a glance. Naturally, I stopped. She did not. She then turned to glare at me, clearly implying that this near-collision was **my** fault, despite my being firmly stationary at the time. Perhaps she believed telepathy should be among my driving skills.

Eventually, I made it to the appointment, where scissors and hair dye worked their magic. But let it be known—before beauty, before relaxation, there was chaos.

Moral of the story? Some days, even the simple tasks demand an epic quest. And if you happen to drive an electric car, maybe start carrying a neon sign that says,

**"I AM MOVING, I SWEAR"**.
