Monday morning
The radio of my alarm clock woke me up. It was shortly before 6 o’clock and despite the earliness I felt quite good. I listened to the news, heared that Germany received one gold medal in the Olympic Games and that the carnival revelers are looking forward to the Rose Monday parades. Ah yes, right, it is carnival and accordingly was the music they played. «Es ist so ein schöner Tag» tootled from the speakers. But I didn’t mind, I was in such a good mood!
After breakfast I went to the car and yippie, there was only snow on the windscreen and no ice. Hence I could go to work without scratching! The song on the radio must have told the truth!
But inside the car the reality caught up with me.. the tank was empty and I had to drive to the gas station. I hate nothing more than driving there in the morning because that means a detour. At the gas pump I remembered that due to an error in the central locking system the doors and also the gas cap don’t function properly. I couldn’t open it and so I quit fueling and went back home to catch my husband. Actually I intended to ride with him but as if by magic the central locking system was working now.
Back at the gas station all pumps were occupied. I chose one and the next problem occured. The woman in front of me couldn’t restart her car. Well, I drove backwards to the adjacent pump. While I was busy the woman asked me if I could help her to push away the car. Of course. When I was finished with refueling I walked around the pump, slipped on a snow rest and fell hard on my side. Ouch. The woman was a bit concerned but I bobbed up and helped her with the car.
When I finally arrived at work I had my cheerfulness back and fortunately the rest of the day spared me more surprises.
