Splash And Running Lights

I took a shower and washed my hair as usual before getting ready for work. I had a few extra minutes and noticed that the pond filter needed cleaning. It would only take a minute, so I walked to the edge of the pond, lost my balance and fell in.

The pond is so icky. It looks and feels like split pea soup. I also bumped into a fish. EWWW. I like looking at them, but hate touching them. They feel the same way about me, I'm sure. Afterwards, I took my second shower of the day.

Driving to work, I was in the intersection waiting to make a left turn. The light turned yellow and as usual, cars kept coming, so I waited. The light turned red and there was one last truck barreling towards me. I may be absent-minded and a little ditzy sometimes, but I'm not foolish enough to turn in front of a speeding truck. I had the right of way, but being right doesn't do much good if you're dead. While waiting for the truck to finish running the red light, the driver behind me blared his horn. It is a good thing that I'm not armed.
