I came in all fired up for a fuck you post about a few things that are interlinked & have pissed me off but reading
@Vicki post at the top of this page made me pause & think. The penny ante bullshit in my day in no way compares to the frustration & heartbreak of losing a loved family member
.
I am sitting here staring at the pissing down rain cursing the delivery man for not getting me my package & he has 3 minutes to go. I went for a 100k drive today & believe me it was dicey as fuck aquaplaning at 110 on the motorway
. A combination of perspective (thanks Vicki) & the understanding that if I don't get my shit until tomorrow it is not the end of the world as I know just how shitty the driving conditions are today.
It may be Murphy's Law but the day the double demerit points restrictions are lifted it is too dangerous to take the car for a leg stretch in the country & find some twisty roads
. When the corner is signposted at 35/45/55 & the speed limit is 80 or 100 you can enjoy a car in a safe legalish manner where you won't lose your licence
. Three days left of holidays where the roads will be clear of traffic & it is raining too hard!
On the other hand I have been looking out the 7' glass windows at the rain running off the plants & can hear it hammer on the tin roof so life can't be too bad right
?
