Slow Down

So here I am writing because I’m stranded waiting for roadside assistance lol. I have a flat tire but not just any kind of flat, I have a massive puncture.

Here is where is gets funny, I drove over 20 minutes to get to my destination and the tire was fine. I went inside for about 90 min and came out to my car front left, felt on the floor. On the damn rim.

So, I take out this air filler up thing that I have in my truck for emergencies, try to put some air and I hear all of the air coming right back out. I was able to cover the hole with my finger long enough to get some air and move to the back of the parking lot for room.

Irritated as hell I make a call, of course, not the outcome I hoped for but I pushed forward. Looked in my trunk and woo hoo, I have a spare. Woo hoo, I have a jack.

I take everything out, I park my car diagonally under the light post for light (because of course it’s pitch black out and this place lights are about to go out cause they are closing) and in full mode ready to change my tire I go in circles looking for a lug nut key.

Guess what? lol ! No lug nut key.

Anyways, submitted request to roadside and eta was 50-80 minutes lol 😂

Didn’t mention I had bought a frozen meal to go home and cook cause I haven’t ate? Yup. It’s in the trunk.

So here I am, watching people drive by me like my car and I are invisible.

Of course I start to wonder the why, and how and all that fun jazz and in my head I just heard a “slow down”. Take a minute to do what you love. So I am listening because I really do believe that one of the reasons is to force me to slow down. Just take a minute to breathe.

Not saying that’s why it actually happened but it feels better to think of it that way than to just remain pissed and irritated because of something I cannot control. It is what it is.

So, I’m going to post this one and follow up with a topic that’s been heavy on my mind today.

Missed y’all! Hope everyone is doing well. ❤️

With love,
