suddenly sunny saturday

it was a lousy morning.
i slept for 9+ hours and was still exhausted
but i dragged myself out of bed at 8:30
i ate my cereal and got in the car

i've hit 6000 miles in my ford escape
so with a hybrid that means time to get
and oil change and tire rotation
only no one else thought that should really be
a priority this morning


the 15 minute drive took what felt like forever
i was stopped for a very long time
waiting for some bicycle race to pass
then a funeral procession
seriously
can't make this stuff up


got there around 9:20
they had me sign something at 10 and told me i still had awhile to wait
so i took a walk

caught up with kris
got back around 10:30
and wasn't out of there til about 11:10


for an oil change
and tire rotation!!!!!!

ridiculous!
(though the rep did apologize and admitted the wait was excessive {ya think?})
that's good customer service
as upset as i was
that helped

still tired, i stopped into dunkies
must have waited 15 minutes for coffee
what??!


oh well... as i drove closer to home
the sun started coming out
i pulled out my sunglasses
opened the sun roof
blasted the radio


the frustration started to lift


i came home to clean
did 6 loads of laundry
showered
and now i'm catching up on this week's
Grey's Anatomy

its like i got a second start on the day
