I only had one thing on my to-do list today…well, that HAD to be done today….return some books to the library and mail an album and a few DVDs. As I’m driving up to the post office, I see some dark smoke floating around. Hmmm, I wonder if there’s actually a fire? Weird.
As I pull around the curve and go to turn into the parking lot, I see the source of the smoke. Holy smokes! It’s a CAR ON FIRE! Sitting right in the middle of the parking lot in front of the post office, was a car totally engulfed in flames. I parked the car (my mom’s) and thought, hmmm, I guess I can still run into the post office and return my books….but then I thought, you know, those books can return themselves later and I can go to another post office.
So after a little detour, I’ve sent my mail and am about to go home. Now, let’s talk about a little quirk I have….I HATE left hand turns…especially on busy roads. I honestly will reroute my whole trip based around left hand turns…or lights. A further sidenote, when Bret and I were searching for a place to eat last night, he was commenting about making a few right hand turns…and said, wow, you have rubbed off on me!
Anyways (shut up rambling Jennilyn!), I thought, well, I don’t feel like making a left, so let’s go right and get some Dunkin’ Donuts!
I now have a delicious cup of coffee and three donuts.
So, even if there’s a metaphoric car on fire in your day, just grab a cup of coffee. π
