I always push the limit on my gas tank and yesterday morning it finally caught up with me. I'd be wanting to refill my tank two days prior but there never seemed to have been a perfect time, so I just kept postponing. Yesterday morning I excused myself again from the filing station because I was "rushing" to work and because it was too cold. I will get a little gas somewhere close to work and get a better topping at my fave station in my neighborhood on my return home in the afternoon I said to my self. Well, I was cruising on the highway and even speeding a bit when suddenly I felt a snag, I knew what could be wrong but I was sure my car would at least make it to the nearest gas station especially since I was just a mere exit away from work. Instead right under my foot no amount of pumping would move my car forward! I was right in the middle of a 65 speed limit highway! right in the middle. I even tried to veer further right to the curb, but my car wouldn't bulge. Then, it dawned on me..and I became a little shaky..cars started piling up behind me. Thank goodness that the van behind me was not really speeding, if not the impact from behind would have been quite dangerous. Cars were just speeding by, angry cars late and hurrying to get to work. I felt like the bad car that was making everyone late for work. Cars drove by with the piercing judgmental zoom, there sits the culprit of this morning's hold up. I starred back apologetically until a nice car pulled to the side curb and out ran a man asking if he could help push my car to the curb because, "
cars are really piling up back there" he said. Just then, the IMAP gentleman showed up and they both pushed my car to the curb.
Let's just say that now I will take the gas tank little yellow light a bit more seriously. Above all, I thank God that He was watching over me!! Happy New Year! It will be our year of completion and multiple joy!
lesson learned: a stitch in time saves nine
