Day 324: November 20, 2015
Diary entry:
Thank God it’s Friday.
But this is not a Friday I’m too thrilled with.
Got a nice early start for work today, but some kind of accident or road work caused a delay on the highway, so I decided to cut through town. And I was early enough that there was very little traffic on the roads as I cut through town, so I was making great time!
Until I got to the last light before my office, when the cars in front of me all stopped, and my brakes locked up on the cold, slick road and I slid into the car in front of me. Who then decided to slam into me in reverse afterwards!
It was over an hour of waiting for the police, etc. and I only just barely made it to my meeting in time. What a lovely start to the day!
At least the car is still perfectly driveable, and I have an appointment already for the repairs. No injuries.
Decent meetings at work, so I planned to have a quick dinner at home and then go into town for a beer.
And then I woke up on the couch to move to bed.
Darn you Jet Lag!!!
Luckily I had my official Beer of the Day with dinner before I fell asleep…

Cuvee Mam’zelle by Brouwerij de Leite. Sour and funky! I was sad this was sold out on our brewery visit in September. Luckily I had a bottle at home. Lovely sour!
