Inconvenience.
43 - the number of minutes spent on the phone with roadside assistance
247 - the number of minutes spent waiting for a tow truck
4 - the number of times I was told the tow truck would be arriving in 15 minutes
2 - the number of people in the car reminding me that laughter and friendship can make a seemingly rotten situation a whole lot better
5 - the number of caring people who recognized our distress and offered assistance
55 - the number of miles my wonderful mother drove to pick us up
12:47 am - the time I finally arrived home and collapsed into bed
Oh, and....
64 - the number of miles AFTER my warranty expired when the engine in my car also expired (yes...my warranty expired one hour before I broke down)
And so this morning I sit, drinking an unusally large cup of coffee, reflecting on last night's inconvenience. But that is all it was, for now it is time to rise and shine.
