When you day takes a nosedive

Saturday started off really well.  Got up at 8 packed my things and ran to the dinghy club for sailing.  We had a really good day and won all our races except for one.  Then got back and had someone drop me off at work so I could get my bike.  Well, it turns out my bike keys were no longer in my bag.  They were no where to be found.  Luckily, I caught Melinda she came to pick me up from town because I didn't have any money on me to get a taxi or the bus.  So, I come home and search.  The keys seem to have definitely made it into my bag that morning and are no longer in the house.  Fine.  I do some laundry.  The washer overflows all over the kitchen.  Great.  Clean that up.  Finally, sit down for a minute to unwind.  See something funny on the TV screen.  What is it?  Bird poop.  Bird poop there and on a lampshade and the dining room table and the window sill and even on an apple in the kitchen.  Oh god, bird is in the house.  I then find some downy feathers near Maddie's favorite window sill along with a few tail feathers.  Bird?!  No where to be found.  Searched high and low.  I have no idea where it went.  I know it came down the chimney but where it ended up I am afraid I might find out later when the ants find it...
