what a day...

it started off badly because i didn't hear my alarm go off this am. that's the first time in a LONG time it happened to me. luckily i wasn't late to work or anything...
then i had to go to g-town for my afternoon clinic. the parking garage is THE absolute worst you have ever seen. they start valeting cars on both sides and block the cars that are already parked. in my tiny corolla, i can barely fit down the aisles because of all the valet cars on the sides. i FINALLY found a spot, thought i could make it, but i miscalculated. i cringed as the side of the car scraped against the pillar, which, by the way, takes up 5% of the actual parking space.
i was soo bummed. luckily i didn't scrape a parked car...
then i realize i'm running very low on gas. i've never pushed the car to its limit, so i don't know how much further i can go. the light keeps coming on, and then it stays on. mind you, i'm driving home, but i do NOT know where the nearest gas station is. i'm praying silently in my head, "Lord, PLEASE... let me make it to a gas station." i'm sweating in the car (b/c i didn't want to use the a/c), and finally, i see an exxon sign up ahead. i was elated! luckily i made it to the gas station ok.

so i suppose the day could've been worse. i just have to be thankful for the little things. thank you, Lord, that i made it on time to work, that i didn't hurt anyone or anyone's car, and that i didn't run out of gas.
