Detox Day 13

What a day. Talk about productivity. Today I changed the oil in both cars, cut and trimmed the lawn, finished off 8 loads of laundry, cleaned the toilets, took my car in for body work, caught up on my detox blogs, went shopping with Shell, and packed for Portland. It has been a full day. To top it all off, I'm treating myself to some herbal tea with stevia. A good ending to a great day.

In yesterday's blog I forgot to mention that I got rear-ended coming home for Shell's amazing mango salsa tilapia dinner. It's one of those wrecks where it's technically his fault, but really it's just a bad intersection. I suppose I'm lucky I haven't gotten hit or hit anyone there before. That particular intersection averages about 15 collisions a week. At some point they'll have to redo it it make it less of a hazard.

Anyway, the driver was a young kid. He'd spent the last 4 years building his car from scratch. He's just gotten his license and was taking his car out for a spin when he hit me from behind. His custom ride crumpled like a foil balloon and I got a shiny new headache. I suppose it could have been a bad deal, but there's always a silver lining, so after talking to him for a bit, I found out his dad owned a body shop just down the street. A few minutes later his dad arrived, we worked things out, and after exchanging info all is well in the world. The kid will be driving again as soon as he can get his front end back in one piece and I'll get a new back end and some extra paint and body work thrown in for free.

And to think, that could have gone completely different had I let myself have a bad attitude about the situation. Praise God for the opportunity to see the good side of people.

Before I go, huge props to LSU for the big W over La Tech and to everyone running in the San Antonio Rock 'n' Roll marathon next year. I'll see you on the line next year!
