What a way to start the day!!

This morning as I was driving to work (in the dark and fog - 0530) I saw a big tool box in the middle of the road...about half a second before I hit it with my front tire. Nice. I pulled my car over and proceeded to change my tire, but the problem was, I had never changed a tire on this car before. The set up was completely foreign to me (especially on a pitch black country road in the middle of nowhere). I finally extracted my spare (with much fake swearing and praying and resting and praying) after I called work and told them I would be late. It took me about 20 minutes to figure out the set up and I was trying to jack the car up at intervals. I would jack up the car until a car came, stand back and wait for the car to pass, jack up my car some more, wait for another car to pass... Finally, 30 minutes and countless cars passing later, a guy pulled over and asked to help. I looked at his silouette through my humidity fogged glasses and said yes, thank you. He was kind enough to change my tire for me (he was much faster than me). I drove home, changed scrubs (the originals were quite wet and dirty), and borrowed Matto's truck to get to work. I was 1 1/2 hours late to work. When I got to work I found that my preceptor had called in so I had to work with someone I didn't know as well. No thanks to the yucky start, though, my day is not going too bad. I owe that to praying over and over on the way to work for a good attitude. I find that if I pray for a good attitude I usually have a good day!
