Be careful of what you wish for…

Sometimes life knows what to dish out to you. Even though it’s not what you wanted or thought you needed.


My super summer plans got kiboshed due to illness. Not mine, but it made a domino effect of friends and family in a  massive break-down.


Instead of traveling, we’re stay-cationing. Not what I expected, but it’s working out. 


Instead, this week we made jam, cleaned out the garage, stayed up late, slept in late. My car up and died on me today. Nothing really terminal, but here I am sitting at a cafe waiting for a tow truck. I’m fine. Just people watching.


It’s funny, I think normally I’d be upset about it all today, but really I just wish I had a book to kill time with. I don’t mind the wait.


What are my plans for later on? I don’t know. Now that I’ll be carless for a few days, I guess I’ll just garden, read a book or two and chill. 


It’s not so bad. I’ve been pushed by outside forces to slow down - and I do really need it.


Exactly what I wished for all along.
