This Will Be Funny Later
This will be funny later.

I had a busy day scheduled.
But we were out of groceries.
I got up early to do a grocery run before I started work.
As I pulled out of the garage, my garage door opener fell apart in my hands.
I just changed the battery last week.
That was probably the last straw in the holding-it-together department.
I repaired it with some electrical tape.
And I was on my way.
But then my phone stand fell down.
It’s really easy to screw back together.
But with my hand injury, my thumb won’t bend.
This is the moment when I realized just how important those opposable thumbs really are.
Well I did it.
It took some time and several F-bombs.
But I eventually got the phone stand put back together.
Then I noticed that the hazard lights were on.
I must have pushed the button while I was fixing the phone stand.
Where the heck is the hazard light button?
It’s a new car, and I haven’t used this feature yet.
I looked, and looked, and looked, and I couldn’t find that stupid red triangle button anywhere.
So I called Bob.
He was in the house just 20 feet away from me.
He would know what to do.
But my Bluetooth wouldn’t connect the call.
I was told to input my password.
My password?
What password?
Finally, I just got out of the car and yelled.
Bob came to my rescue.
Laughing at me, of course.
The hazard light button was hidden behind my phone stand.
Problem solved.
And the Bluetooth problem fixed itself immediately the minute he sat in the car.
What the heck?
Did Bluetooth really just need my husband’s approval before it would start to work?
Annoyed, I set off for the grocery story.
Only to realize that it’s the first day of school.
Traffic was a nightmare.
Crap.
Maybe this early-morning grocery run wasn’t such a good idea.
There was so much traffic that I didn’t even have room to turn around and go home.
And then a train came by to hold up the already-congested traffic.
While I was waiting for the train, my check-tire-pressure light came on.
I already know the tire pressure is fine.
It’s a sensor problem.
A problem which I thought was fixed last week, but apparently it isn’t fixed after all.
This will be funny later.
Maybe.
