I’m in a hurry and don’t know why…

“I’m in a hurry to get things done
Oh, I rush and rush until life’s no fun
All I really gotta do is live and die
But I’m in a hurry and don’t know why.” Alabama

I.need.to.slow.down.

Today, in my hurry to get prescriptions at the drugstore, I put in my lunch order on my app and in my haste to get in and out of the drugstore within the ten minute time frame of my sandwiches being ready, forgot I parked next to the curb. I jumped out of my car and promptly face planted right in the CVS parking lot.

Ironically, I had just moments before spotted a lady creeping across the parking lot with a cane. I had a fleeting thought, “gee, I hope she doesn’t fall.” As fate would have it, she hobbled over to me (now a heap on the ground) to see if I was okay. I told her I was, and she said it was usually her doing the falling.

I scraped myself off the pavement and went into the drugstore. I have two scraped knees, a sore shoulder, and will probably be more sore in the morning.

I.need.to.slow.down.

The to-do list is endless. I am only one person. I am only one person. I am only one person.
