feeling pretty put-upon this morning. almost got hit by a grandmother, on her cellphone, with her 2 granddaughters in the back seat. i was coming to work through the gulch, where the roads are curvy and unpredictable, and while she was sitting still in the left lane at 12th and division i was approaching the light in the right lane just as it turned green. she floored it and immediately got into the right lane...my lane. i had to slam on the brakes and somehow narrowly escape jumping the curb and smashing into a pole. i flashed my lights at her and honked my horn. she never so much as looked up. i sped up and passed her with my heart pounding and panic setting in. i got to work before my anxiety went through the roof.
now i'm here and panicking!
i was already upset by 2 much smaller occurrences: yesterday i stopped at CVS (one of my 2 preapproved "safe" places) and bought 2 diet cokes which were supposed to be on sale for 2 for $3 but i checked the receipt after i got to work and saw that i was charged full price. i can't stop thinking about it. i'm mad.
then this morning as i getting my lunch together i noticed, in the bag of individually wrapped trail mix that i eat as a snack, that one of the 12 bags was empty. EMPTY! when money is as tight as it is i can't have a missed snack and paying full price for a diet coke i should have gotten free.
at least i'm here now and safe. i can stand to miss a snack and the $1.50. it's just the principle of the thing...
grace and peace
