crash into me

Inspired by my trouble with problems post, I determined to motivate myself and get all the nagging items on my *to-do* list done, including the oxygen sensor for my car. The better part of three days and $200 later, mission accomplished. I was ecstatic getting it out of the way, the only auto-related thought entering my brain in the near future would be the high price of gas.

The next day, I woke-up with a hankering for eggs, opened the fridge and to my stomach's dismay, found none were nesting. Nothing a quick trip to supermarket wouldn't solve. I deemed to make record time and damn near did - I'd ran back to the dairy section, paid the cashier in about four minutes flat. I trotted back to my newly-fixed car to find a woman walking inquisitive circles around it - this is akin to hearing your license plate number read over a mic in a restaurant, your appetite disappears as you soon realize your next action is going to be a call to a towing company.

She told me her name was Sandra and that she didn't turn tightly enough when parking her car, she was sorry she took out the back quarter panel and was prepared to pay for the damage. I could faintly smell cheap alcohol on her breath, which is the sort of thing that gets ones attention when it's morning time. I accepted her apology - we exchanged information and it quickly dawned on me I had another car-related entry for my new *to-do* list. So, here's my attempt to lessen my angst by blogging about it, along with the requisite tunes that fit the occasion. Next time I run out of eggs, I'm heading for the cereal bowl.
