Sometimes I think my life is just an adventure waiting to happen. Tonight was just another example, a simple trip home from work turns into a 2 hour trip through the country side.
It starts when I get involved in what I am doing at work, I finally look up and it is 4:30pm, right in the middle of rush hour traffic. I usually leave at 3pm on Fridays because I drive up to my mom’s and pick up her laundry to do it for her. Anyways back to the adventure.
Next I am leaving the parking lot and my cell phone rings it is my sister, I am talking away to her, just distracted enough that I miss my exit to go to my mom’s and I am headed in the wrong direction for at least 20 miles before I realize it. Oh well I decided I will just get her laundry in the morning since I will be going to see her anyways.
Going along and I get to Novelty Hill where traffic is really backed up. I decide to make use of the time and call a friend to chit chat. I finally get to the bottom of the hill and the road that I need to go on is closed due to an accident. OH NO, I have no idea where I am going now. I am headed in the opposite direction I want to go and really don’t know how to get to where I want to be. I call my husband and after a discussion he figures out where I am and tells me how to get home.
Traffic is so back up that I’m out on a road that runs through the middle of a very large horse ranch. I’m sitting there enjoying the nice sunny day, the view of the horses out in the pastures and all of a sudden the dashboard starts pinging. Now what? I check all the gauges and sure enough the engine is overheating. No where to pull off, no where to go. OH No….. I turn on the fan full blast and nothing happens. I call Kyle and he says to turn the heater on full blast. And thank you Lord the temperature gauges starts to fall. Now granted it is about 85 degrees in the van with the windows open, but because we weren’t moving the air was not moving either. Finally I get to the main road and I am moving enough that the temperature gauge is back to normal, I can turn off the heat and enjoy the rest of the ride home.
Another day another adventure, maybe I should change the title of my blog?
