I saved my own life today. It sounds a bit melodramatic, I know. On my way to exercise this morning, I was stopped at a red light on the corner of Ormewood and Moreland. Mine was the first car. For reasons I will never know, I hesitated more than usual before turning left onto Moreland. I missed being hit by a car speeding through the red light. I never would have seen it coming. Phew.
After I got home, Kate and I worked on the lemon tree enclosure because it didn’t appear that the heater was doing its job. It’s going down to 29 degrees tonight so we adjusted the heater and added a second one, just in case.
I drove to Parkside Elementary to vote for an At Large City Council position. The voting took all of two minutes but getting out of the parking lot took about an hour. I was boxed in by a queue of parents lined up to pick up their kids. I considered walking home and coming back later to pick up my car. Next time I vote, I need to just walk there.
