Around 1:30, I was ready to take my lunchbreak and hit the gym for a little treadmill time. But then I got a text from Ian saying that he thought his iPad had gone missing. Since he was working in a different city and couldn't leave, I offered to drive home on my lunchbreak and check the house to see if it was there.
When I was a block away from my house, I saw the dreaded blue lights. Pulled over for speeding. I didn't even contest it or give an excuse -- I was as polite as I could be. And due to my "pristine driving record" -- the officer let me off with a verbal warning! Phew. I started to think that my good fortune meant that the iPad would be at home.
And luckily it was! Second bullet dodged. I sent out a quick email and then hit the road to head back to work. The stress of those two situations was still present but starting to dissipate.
Five minutes down the road, I was rear-ended by another driver. Awesome. Just awesome.
So, here's what I'm happy about:
* Nobody was hurt.
* The damage was minimal. Purely cosmetic!
* It wasn't my fault.
* The other driver was insured and did not flee.
* The cop didn't mention that when he ran my license, I had just been pulled 20 minutes prior. (!!!)
Nothin' that a little sauvignon blanc couldn't fix last night.
Do you ever just have THOSE days?!
Here's hoping for an easier day today!
You poor girl! Yes, I have lots of those days when nothing seems to go my way. At the end of the day we just have to be thankful for what did go right. Glad you are ok and ticket free:)

ReplyDeleteBless your heart! Glad you're okay! I have definitely had days like that.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, and I am a pessimist by nature, so that would have wound me up even tighter. So glad that you weren't hurt or anything really serious like that! Wish I had your optimism, haha.
