Here's The Scoop on how I played an April Fool's Joke on Myself
Yesterday, I got a text from my brother, and thought it was a April Fool joke, he loves them.
the note said, please resend all important papers that I keep for you, I have hard copy in safe, but accidently deleted my entire Gmail account by doing something on the phone and not on my computer.
It was true, and when I looked for my saved copies they were Gone.. I spent an agonizing hour finding them and I had deleted the ENTIRE FOLDER of paperwork but found it in the TRASH.
Later I put a sticky note on kitchen counter, LAB, to remind me of my blood lab today at 8:40
I pulled today post back in drafts
I made a post for tomorrow and scheduled it to say why I was MIA today and did not comment or post.
Note: we wake up at 3 am, I was awake from 3 to 7 with nothing to eat and 1/2 cup black coffee, FASTING and I complained because I felt nausea with out a slice of French bread with coffee. 3 AM is to early for breakfast (unless you are the dog who eats Promptly at 3 AM)and I eat bread to ease my IBS empty stomach before coffee.
I then deleted all of your posts and as I was doing that, I noticed several titles said
April Fools Day!
I said OH NOOOOO! Bob said What Now? I said,
I staved myself for Nothing and have to do it again tomorrow.
MY LAB WORK IS ON THE 2nd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! today is the 1st! I wanted to slap him when he said, I knew it was the 1st!
I am blaming my brother because he put the thought of April fools day in my head and I thought yesterday was the first and today the 2nd .(at least I did not get to the office and be there on the wrong day and have to be embarrassed)
You might get a comment today, you might not.
and tomorrow you may see a post and you might not..

Bless your heart....are you sure you're not April fooling us? It's bad enough to have to starve on the day of lab but then to have to do it twice is a bummer. Glad you found your file in the trash...I've done things like this so many times...it's an age thing I guess.

Arrrrggghhhh... Always have a thumbdrive backup (or external hard drive), never rely on one file deposit only... I know you know this. And at least you won't be late for your medi-date... YAM xx
that is hard when life sounds like an aprik joke.. hugs to you...
I'm with Shug ... are you sure you didn't stay up all night concocting an April Fools prank on us? I'm still trying to wrap my mind around HOW can an entire G-mail account get wiped.
It's a little late now, but I wonder if the lab people couldn't have worked you in, had you shown up this morning. They've probably had this sort of thing happen before, so please don't go feeling too awful.
LOL Oh my. That is the ultimate in April Fools pranks. You do realize you aren't supposed to play them on yourself right...lol
I'm glad you didn't actually get to the lab before realizing the date.
I did show up for an appointment a day early one time and they took pity on me and squeezed me in
Dear me I'm so sorry you were up so early and could not eat and it was a day early. Dang.
I like the lovely signature at the end.

Life can be a joke. Any day! And sometimes on many days ... one after another after another ...
I think we're about the same age. There is something happening almost every single day. We're in the same boat.
I linked this post to Happy Tuesday.
Have a fabulous day. Scritches to handsome Beau. ♥
Well, that was a real mess. I am glad you got things back - sorry for all the stress involved. I hate to admit it, but I have done things like that before and ended up in a panic!
Sorry about the fasting - lol - it is supposed to be good for you!
Beautiful post
Please read my post
Oh, poor you!
I feel like a fool myself because I didn't get it, your post, I mean, but then was awake most of the after midnight night because of a fierce windstorm. But it was fun to visit again, not sure when I will blog.
I am so sorry that happened to you about your appointment and feeling sick. I'm so sorry about the text from your brother and all that you had to do. Thankfully you found what you needed.
Oh my, it is hard to starve yourself for the blood work and then to find out you have to do it again tomorrow. I hope you found all you needed, there are some programs that will recover items on your computer. Take care, enjoy your day!
I've been aware of today being 1 April, but now it's 8 pm and I'm still not aware of having come across any April Fools jokes/pranks - so now I'm getting worried I might not have recognised it if there was one...! (in the news or whereever...)
Oh no! I'm sorry you have to go through this again!
Is it an April Fools or Isn't it??
Too much Drama for me.
Hope your Labs go well.
(((hugs)))

Sounds like something I would do. now go and EAT!
Life is way too complicated! I have trouble keeping up too.
Oh well, these things happen to all of us. Mom can never keep her days straight - that is why she makes lists:). Have a good rest of your day - it's the best way to deal with April Fool's Day.

Oh my, what a calamity! When these bloopers happen the only thing you can do is laugh about it and put it in your blog! You explained it in a humorous way!
Hey, it could always be worse, right?!?! If something is important never use gMail. They scan every email and sell it to advertisers.
Oh dear! I hope you had something filling and tasty after all that!
I back up everything on an external drive. I’ve never had to use it yet, but that day may come!
Oh no! is right! We were out of town Friday - Monday this week, and I was so mixed up, when I got back to work on Tuesday I thought it was still March. April fools on me, too, but at least I didn't go hungry...
Wow, wow. Lots going on there for sure.
