So I was running about 5 minutes late this morning for work so I was really worried when the person in front of me was going slow on the freeway. There was a truck in the middle lane going 60 so i was went into the left lane to pass him. Right then I noticed the sign that said, "left two lanes closed". As I moved into the right lane, I saw a line of cars ahead of me and immediately a flashback came from last year when those lanes were closed and I was stuck there for over a half an hour and I was late for work. So right then I pulled off onto the Rd. 100 exit, and gave Jared a call. It took me forever to get a hold of him. I finally had to call Connie at the front desk and fortunately he was right there. We agreed to meet at the broadmore mall. Because I knew he wouldn't be there for about 15 minutes, I stopped at a gas station and was able to buy me some breakfast. Then headed to the mall and found the perfect parking spot right under a big tree. After finishing my breakfast I started walking to a spot where he could pick me up at and right then he came!
We had a new kid today who's 7 years old, and he reminds me of what Philip would have been like when he was younger. that kid new a lot of stuff. I had to use my pump to see what time it was and he said, "you take insulin?" and i was caught off guard, because most of the kids wonder what it was. Then later he started talking about the van and asked "is that a CB radio? C B stands for..." and started saying what AM stands for and FM was. One fun thing that he said was "kim do you have paper and pen? I need to make myself a reminder note" "What do you need to remind yourself?" Jared asked. "To go to taco bell when I get home" We thought that was funny.
When I was dropped off at my car, it was nice and cool since it had been in the shade all day instead of in the weed field by the ARC. THAT was glorious. :)
It was a nice day, everything worked just like clockwork.
