Hey crazy cats, another cold day here in Florida. Hey, it even snowed on Saturday! I thought I suffered a severe stroke and was seeing things, but it was really snowing! Anyway, I pretty much had a pretty day day from the get go.
It pretty much all started when I woke up and realized that it was two degrees below "holy crap! I think I crapped my pants from the cold!" I really didn't want to get out of my warm bed, but I dragged my semi-comatose body out of the bed and on my way to work. Trust me, and I know a lot of you will agree, no one wants to leave a perfectly warm comfortable bed at the start of a cold day. However, as I dragged my body throughout the house and made myself up, I had a funny feeling things weren't going to go as planned. Of course, they didn't...
I left my cozy warm abode and made my way to the car. The wind through the breezeway was enough make even the most sane person set themselves on fire! As I was thinking of a million excuses to go back and call in, I noticed the frost on my car. I thought "wow, frost and snow in Florida..." On a little side note, I don't understand why scientists are going on about global warming.. There's no such thing! We're freezing!
I made it to my car and tried to turn on my total chick magnet mobile (Rav4...you get the joke, right?). After several attempts, begging God, cursing up a storm, and finally hitting the steering wheel a couple of times, I gave up the notion that it was going to turn on without the help of jumper cables.
I stood out there, in the cold, for what seemed an eternity. I called everyone and their grandmothers. No one would answer. Finally, at around 7:30 am, someone finally came around. The Good Samaritan tried very hard to help, but to no avail. This time, the battery really died out. I abandoned all hope and left it in fate's hands. I finally realized that there might be a way out of the mess. Someone finally showed up with pair of jumper cables. I finally got the car started and dragged my butt to work.
When I got to work, I realized that my day was just getting better. Normally, my day is usually filled with maybe one bad person. It seemed like today it was full of it...literally. It didn't really matter to me. It made my day go by so much faster. As a matter of fact, I prefer it that way. Someone close to me works from home and she tells me that sometimes she wishes she had a job like mine.
So, to sum up my day, I got home (it was still cold out), made sure the car still worked, and thanked the Good Lord I made it home in one piece. Life isn't so bad when we take a moment to realize that no matter how much you fight, it's all messed up. We should enjoy every moment of it.
Well, I'm calling this one done. Keep safe and dream big!
