This post is positively negative or maybe negatively positive, ha ha. Still, though, the outcome is ultimately good, so I'm saying that it's pre-qualified. This morning, we went outside and I scraped the ice off my windshield. The roads were crunchy with ice. I dropped J. off at school, and started driving to work. I could tell that the roads were slick, but I thought if I just drove slowly enough down the hill that everything would be just fine.
Then the light turned to red, which forced me to stop and using the brakes caused me to lose control of the car. It was only for about three seconds that my car was shuddering and sliding down the road, but it was a super long three seconds. I regained control, I didn't slide through the intersection, I didn't injure anyone else or myself.
I inched down the rest of the road and made it to work safely. Tonight when C. brought me home from getting coffee, the ice was melting into water and dripping off my carport and the skies were blue, and we decided that winter was over. So it shall be.
Love, Rachel
