Glad That The Weekend Is Over

Yeah, you don't often hear that, do you?

I was so looking forward to my 3-day weekend and it really just didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. I had to simmer down a bit this week before I could write about it...

Another fun thing about moving to a new city is that you get to explore uncharted territory (to you, at least) and experience new places and things. Unfortunately, that also means driving around unfamiliar places. And what might happen when you're not as sure of where you're going?

I watched the signs very carefully in downtown Dallas around the American Airlines center and still messed up. :( I thought I was in the correct lane when I turned at an intersection but darn that extra turn-only lane that just pops up for a couple of hundred feet then disappears! Fortunately, I was very aware and managed to brake and maneuver for the most part away from the vehicle that I did end up hitting. No one was hurt and there was minimal damage to both cars, but it still sucks all the same.

So on my lovely day off for MLK Jr.'s birthday, I was calling up the insurance company and driving ever so cautiously - hard to do when people are whizzing by and honking at you because you're not driving as carefree and recklessly as they are (gimme a break, I just got in a wreck buddy!).

Everything seems to have settled down this week and I'm feeling a bit better.

You know, I would rather look forward to a weekend than dread it.
