The Fake Smile and Wave

So, I was driving to my parents yesterday for Thanksgiving. I'm doing a good 65 in a 55. This mini van comes up behind me and starts tailgating me, not just close, but super close, like a couple feet away. Being the "nice" person that I am, I had to resist a urge to slam the brakes really hard. We go through the "metropolis" of Malden. A whole, what, 12 buildings? The speed limit drops down to 35 so I slow way down. Speed limit picks up but I only go up to about 60. And by the time we came to county line road by the expo center, I was down to 45. She passed me by the stoplight as I turned left towards Wal-mart, a glare covering her shaking head. I perked my neck up, smiled really big, and did the silliest wave I could think of. Of course, she sped up only to be kept driving slow by the long line of cars that had been in front of me. I got a kick out, I was cracking up for so long. If people check the driver's manual, it states that the appropriate action when someone is tailgating you is to... that's correct, slow down.

Oh, and the other day I almost sideswiped a car that wouldn't yield. It's really amazing how many selfish, me-first people are out there.

Just smile and wave...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Good food! WOO HOO!

Drained

I think my job is affecting my life much more than I thought. I have 2 days off after today, then I work Friday, then 2 more days off. Oh, and I had a 1/2 day yesterday! And I'm in the best mood today. Better than I've been in awhile.

And I feel like crap. My immune system has taken a dive. Between stress and lack of sleep and my stomach... I might need some shots in my butt again... I forget what they're called. Gamma gobulin shots or something, haha.

Anyways... I feel like poop but I'm in a great mood!

Be Quiet and Drive

3rd Attempt

I must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed today... I forgot my head phones since I had to drive the work van home so I had no IPod while I exercised this morning. And I discovered that I'm at 208 now instead of the 204.5 that I was when I started working out couple months back...

I'm too hard on myself and my faults and I look at how far I have to go instead of how far I've come. I always want so much more but never obtain it. I'm always wrong.

I still ache to know what's around the corner. The fear of being myself will leave me alone in the end... maybe it already has. If I could change one thing about myself, it would be the gap between 10 and 28 that carried me away from God.
