The Magic of Sleep
I did something really, REALLY stupid last night. I can't believe I did this at all with all the education and experience I have and down deep, I realize that I am the biggest SCHMUCK.
I decided to take a drive for the night because I was stressed and that I like to sing to the radio. I didn't stop in Orangeville and turned around, no I went all the way to Arthur on Hwy 109 and back down south on Hwy 6 to Guelph. The empty gas tank went ON in Fergus and the gas steadily declined all the way to Acton which is when I had a BRILLIANT idea: I would wait until midnight when my direct deposite cheque came in and then I would buy gas from the vendor.
So when midnight did roll around, my bank amount didn't change, 1 am still no change, 2 am nada. I was wondering whether I would get some sleep.
At 2:45 am, The nice attendant gave me a $10 to get me back home to Brampton.
I deserve not feeling well today and this after noon, I will go back and pay that attendant.
Cheers
p.s. The Magic of Sleep finally rewarded me with my pay cheque amount.

I'm glad that the guy was so nice to give you the $10.00.
Random acts of kindness make the world work.
I appreciate the magic of sleep myself... (my favorite pastime)
I too am glad Canadians are so fracking nice! Can you imagine if you tried that in Jersey? ;)
Also, you need to give me a lesson in making money appear after I've had a few hours' sleep!
yes take that man some money and some fried chicken!
glad to hear your sleep finally came. Nothing like a long drive to take your mind away from sorrow. I do it all the time.
HUGS!
I had to laugh when I read this because it is SO something I would do! I'm glad you got home safe. I have a stash of change I leave in my car for emergency gas money now.
*hug*
Many people would never have left the house.
You have an adventurous spirit.
Having once been the owner of a car that had a non-functioning gas gauge, I can totally relate to this.
Glad you made it home, and glad you managed to get some sleep.
