There is something bad about going to sleep when it’s dark and waking up to the same darkness.
I’m awake because I couldn’t find gas last night and need to try to get some before work.  I am driving 4 hours to Alabama after work today for a meeting on Saturday…..only if I can find gas.

6:15 am ——–Shower——–

6:30-7:15 Saved by the Bell–College Years

7:15 am  Now I’m driving around looking for gas like everybody else. I’ve noticed that when I pull up to a gas pump it takes all of 10 seconds for the whole gas station to fill up with cars. It’s actually pretty funny to watch. Oh and everybody that pulls up next to you at the gas station and wants to talk about how this gas shortage is some kind of conspiracy. I love it. haha I really want to look at them and say….shut your mouth don’t you know there is not talking before 8 am!? (yes that is double punctuation—it’s new)

7:20 am  Lot’s of gas stations and lots of crazy people.  Still no gas.

7:30 am I’ve been everywhere that is within reason.  Still no gas.  My gas light is on and I’m going to run out of gas if I keep this up.  I think I will drive towards where I work so that if I run out of gas I will be close.

7:40 am Home Depot to the rescue. I can do it and they helped.  I’m happily paying $4 per gallon for gas.  That’s an attitude change right?  I don’t love seeing high gas prices but I realized today that not seeing any prices is way worse.

I took a picture just in case we run out gas and I never get to do this again.

Well I’m off to work now.  Have fun and get some gas if you can.
