Blow Out
The Unexpected
The unexpected keeps us sharp, keeps us on our toes, and sharpens our reflexes. The unexpected reminds us we are still human and full of emotion. As the wind blows we shiver, when the light turns red we stop, when it rains we get wet, now think for but a moment if the wind blew and we sweat, the light turned red and we kept going, when the rain fell we were as dry as a bone. The unexpected can lead to the unknown. But does the unknown always have to be uncomfortable? An unexpected phone call boasting good news, an unexpected stop with lifesaving consequences, or even the unexpected rain shower turning into a cool walk through the woods. The unexpected presents uncovered findings of thought previously unsung. As unexpected as things may be grateful for the lessons they teach. Keep Shining Loves-💕JazHey, hey, my friends, it's been a week, and it's only Tuesday;
I'll just start at the top and work my way down; for starters, I didn't do anything major on Monday. I promised myself that Mondays would be my rest day, and I would push through the rest of the week. So far, that has been working pretty well for me! Tuesday WAS A DAY, so I am thankful for Monday's rest, lol. Yall are not going to believe this. Ok, Tuesday at work was pretty good; we spent most of the day in teams of two practicing customer scenarios, so that was fun. I also go to leave early, BONUS! Lol. So as I was driving home, I thought to myself that I wanted to take some time for myself before I went to pick up my groceries, right? Ok, so I said I was going to get some frozen custard, yummmm, so I stopped by culvers; I usually go to the drive-thru, but I needed to use the restroom, so I got out. Cool, so I get out, head inside, use the restroom, and then I order! I got the vanilla concrete mixer with Oreo and Reese. *does happy dance*
After I get it, I skip back to my car, excited to spend some time with myself and watch Grey's Anatomy!! I take the first bite, and something tastes off about it. I don't know if they changed their mix or what, but it dint taste as good as I remembered, but I ate it anyway because I paid for it. Feeling unsatisfied, I said you know what? I'm going to go to Dairy Queen! NOW yall, this is where it gets good, so I hear this voice say, "jazz, you don't need to do that, go home," and of course, I shook it off because I really wanted this ice cream, and I wanted some me time. I turn on my car and reverse out, and I hear it again, but this time louder, "Jazz GO HOME AND STOP BEING GLUTONUS" I kept driving; I come to the turning lane to make the U-turn to head down the street and BOOM!...
Vulnerable Moment: I finally think I’m on the upswing
Alright, don't freak out; I didn't get into an accident, thank GOD, BUT I ran over what sounded like glass in the street. I then said well, that didn't sound good, and I kid you not, no more than 3 seconds later, my tire pressure light came on! "SON OF A BITCH" I thought. So I kept driving down, and thank God there was a Pep Boys right down the street. I pull into the parking lot, get out, check my tires, and sure enough, the passenger side rear tire is blowing air faster than 80 mph winds! 🤦🏾♀️
I go in and ask the lady working the counter how much four tires would be. I know what you are thinking; Jazz, you only blew one; why are you buying four. Ok, so here's the thing, I KNEW I needed tires, and I needed them bad, they weren't down to the tread YET, but I had no traction hardly, lol! But hear me out, though; I was going to get this taken care of on Saturday at the dealership. You know God is funny; we think we have this whole plane when all the while God is up there like, "look at this poor Lil silly." So, needless to say, I went ahead and got the tires, OR AT LEAST I TRIED TO!
‘“$1100.00 please mam!!”
I'm there, and the lady says we have one set that will fit your car, and it's 1100. Yall, my face was like dafawk, Ice cream AINT NEVA been 1100.00 lol, then she says I have another set, but I only have 3 of those! WHAT DO YOU MEAN? You only have three! Yall are people really out here buying one tire? YES, yes they are; WHO KNEW, not I! So after I picked my face up off the ground and listened, she started calling around to the other stores and found a set of 4! WHOOO WHOO, right? WRONG! I can't get them until Friday! *AHHHHHHHHHH*
It takes a village to raise a child right; it also takes a village to save them!
So what am I going to do about a car? Ah ha, DADDY TO THE RESCUE! LOL, so I called my dad back. Oh, yeah, did I mention I had to call my dad because I was about to lose my ish! Hahaha, so I called him back and asked about a car switch; he said sure! BEST DADDY EVER! I know what you are thinking, Jazz; how can your dad drive your car with a blown tire? Well, guys, the pep boy's people were nice enough to change my tire at no charge; my dad works locally, so he will drive my car until this weekend, and I am going to drive his, considering I work 30miles away from home. Whew, what a day, right! OH, AND I STILL DIDN'T GET MY ICE CREA *humph*
