Ahhhh, that's better

This was one of those mornings where suddenly, for about 15 minutes, the world turned inside out and everything right was wrong again!

I got out of the house later than I'd wanted, and had barely gone a mile before I hit the Chapel Hill 8:00 am traffic jam. Now, Chapel Hill doesn't have traffic issues the way some urban areas do. But at 8:00 am, if you're trying to get to the hospital, on to campus, or driving by either, you're just going to have to wait.

Typically this isn't an issue; I know if I leave home later than 7:45 I'm going to sit, so I make sure I have coffee and music, and I did that today as well (Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses). But, as I was sitting in traffic I realized that the clothing traumas I'd suffered while getting ready caused me to rub all the hairspray out of my hair, so my hair was flopping in my eyes. The same clothing trauma (or something) had left fuzz in my right eye. My coffee was getting cold. And traffic STILL wasn't moving.

Finally, though, traffic picked up, and I made it to work. I took care of the fuzz in my eye, and found some hairspray to get my hair back on my head, not in my face. And, I took a jaunt to the Cafe to get hot coffee (and a muffin!).

All is much better now!
