#LIKEAFLYINMYWINDSHIELD...

Updated: Mar 11, 2020

It's been months...



Of sad cat persuasion, I stared past my driver seat window.and sadly cracked my winter windshield to note...it's been cold and gray per NYC winter protocol. AND I'm just calling it AS IT IS. While PRIOR the weather never stopped me, and I've been known to hiss and kick things. but getting older / growing up & being sentenced to work is another thing!


Ironically enough, I drive by the park everyday. The same one I've often played around if not AT for close to 10 years. It's always been The OTHER OFFICE. YET to follow the same morning route you've been doing for years- only to beeline to work- IS a pretty rough reality.


WHAT irony to work on the other side of it...AND drive past like a fly in the windshield. )O;


Let's just say I've been exercising my rubber neck - BEE IT circling the perimeter to find a parking spot OR working on my new soccer move: <<< THE SIDE VIEW MIRROR WHIP>>>. Because you lose a mirror looking.


Before I post this, confessing that Tuesday I drove by and spotted some thugs from the crew unloading their car of gear and super flexed my rubber neck. Slowed my roll and the conversation went like this:


ME: "What are you thugs up to?" (SURPRISE!!!)

R: "You coming to play?"

ME: "Mannn...I'm heading to work..." (with a sniffle)... "Why? You have a spot for me?"

G: "Yeah just walk on with us. IF NOT, you can have my spot"

ME: (A pause)...

R: "You're kind of almost parked in a spot- with this empty parking spot right behind us"...


Awkward silence of 2 seconds...


SO- I detoured work by 2 hours Tuesday... :OP


AND- last night I dreamt that I got into my car this morning only to find I had lost a side view mirror looking.
