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!
