On the Road Again

I've mentioned before that I spend too much time driving.

Yesterday morning when I woke up I was thinking that I did not want to
be on the road today. Then a strange thought went through my mind that
I was going to have car trouble. Now I dismissed that thought because my hubby is
great about keeping my big honkin' car road worthy!
As I'm driving out of town heading for the highway my hands that are resting
on the steering wheel are vibrating like crazy. I start praying "do I go or do I
turn around".

I remembered the thoughts of car trouble from earlier and I called my
hubby and told him what the car was doing and that I was headed to the car shop.
Originally I was on my way to a doctor appointment out of town and so I called them and explained my dilemma. They were gracious and worked me into a later time slot.
2 1/2 hours later I have front tires on the back and new tires on the front. My wobble
was coming from a tire that was seperating.

So I set off again and this time my car is driving smooth as silk. I'm just humming
along when all of a sudden I see something blue about the size of a bread loaf flying
out from under the oncoming semi truck and it struck what I thought was my front
bumper and bounced into the ditch. I was happy that it had not hit my windshield.
I later found out that it had hit my headlight knocking the side cover completely off
thus solving the mystery of what actually flew into the ditch.
Now I have 2 cables hanging out of that hole and flopping against the side of my car.
Finally we get to the city limits and there are signs along the bypass stating that an
accident is ahead and that we would have to exit and be re-routed.
So off we go on a merry detour only to be met by a second detour.
Finally 5 1/2 hours later I reach the doctor's office.
