It’s 11:30pm as I type and listen guys…. let it be known that this was the theme song for Monday, February 19, 2018, in the life of Lauren Kelly…
I have got to, I repeat GOT TO get a better alarm clock..My phone as of late does not suffice. I hate rushed mornings. Just keeping it real here but wasn’t even able to get a shower this morning before I literally ran out the door and put clothes on, brushed my teeth and no makeup. I had to leave early and be somewhere till noon.
Noon arrives and I’m thinking oh good I have a few hours to myself before I have to be at work at 4pm. Destiny (and car) had other plans and that quality time with myself was spent stranded on the side of the road and marking first ride in a tow truck off my bucket list. I am a half glass full kind of a gal, so I did everything I could to remind myself it could be so much worse. I got myself to a safe spot on side of the road, my towing was free through insurance, because lets face it, nobody wanting to spend precious money on that, I have beautiful friends that help in time of need and get me to work. And lastly, the word “transmission” was thrown around a lot, and if it was that or anything else major that was going to cost arm and a leg and with the mileage on my car, talking about maybe cutting my losses and be in the market for a new one, which led me to internally scream “NOT TODAY SATAN!!!!!” I need that baby to last me a little longer. But it turns out it was something much much less, still money spent, but much less than the transmission and for that I could have kissed the mechanic, ummm would be slightly awkward so I refrained. I’m about to leave the country in 7 months and Lauren does not need this. I will take “Car that is paid off” for 800 Alex (for you Jeopardy people).
You see, I’m preparing to do something amazing here going on this World Race missions trip and finances are at the forefront of my mind and the devil is gonna hit, and he’s gonna hit hard. Not just in this area but in any other area he can find. I’m on the defensive and I’m calling it for what it is. He’s so annoying, right?
And I just realized that some Mondays are gonna live up to it’s name. It’s like written in the law or something like that 😉
And for those I came across today, sorry if I stunk!
Think I will go take that shower now!
