my trip to the bank

i went to the bank today.

i had the feeling i should do it another day,

but i didn't listen.

i don't know why i ever ignore those little feelings.

i didn't have my kids with me,

and i had an hour before i had to pick them up from play group.

i had a lot of things i was hoping to do.

instead i went to the bank.

i didn't go in the minivan.

i thought it made more sense to drive our old cr-v.

i won't do that again.

i turned off the car while making my transaction in the drive-thru.

when i was finished the car wouldn't start.

the battery was dead.

how embarrassing is that!!?

and how is that even possible!!?

however, thank goodness i bank at a place with very helpful employees.

the branch manager pushed me out of the drive-thru and gave me a jump so i could get home.

my precious hour was wasted.

i was sad.

i won't be driving the cr-v again.

maybe she is sad that i've replaced her,

but this was not the way to get my attention.

now i'm just mad at her.

i will listen to that quiet, significant prompting next time.
