there are no accidents?

03-14-00

Freud reared his ugly head this evening. I removed the polish from my nails, made a killer batch of peanut butter Rice Krispie Treats, put on socks that match, and headed out to the women's club meeting that I promised I'd attend. Gassed up the car at the edge of town, swiping my ATM card through the pumpside scanner. I headed out in a hurry, as I was a little behind schedule.

I heard something hit the side of my car before I'd driven half a mile. "Shit!" I thought. "Left my wallet on top of the carrrrrr...." I pulled a U-ie in the high school parking lot and zipped back to the gas station. Nothing. I called John collect, since I naturally don't know the calling card number. I had him call the house I was supposed to have arrived at already, and I started the hike down the side of the road.

By the time I reached the high school again, one man had pulled over to help and John had just arrived. I got in John's car and we returned (again) to the gas station, where I discovered my wallet had slipped into the back seat when I rushed to get out of the gas station the first time.

Do I totally suck?
