It started out like any other day. I was prepared to stay in my “zen” zone as I got ready for the day ahead. No frustrations, no anger and definitely no stress. When has “life” ever listened to me and it was ready to show me different! It said, “Enough with this taking it easy stuff! Time to learn more lessons!” and it went downhill from there yesterday.
Shopping was at the top of the list, shopping for groceries that is. I got that done and I still had a smile on my face. A few more chores later, I returned home and just as I approached the garage, all hell seemed to break loose! The onboard computer went crazy and a loud beeping sound signaled something was wrong. The message said, “Engine overheating! Have it checked out.” This is one of those times when I hate being single! I needed someone to be my side to take care of the problem.
Anyway, I left the car in the garage, rushed in and called my car service place. They suggested that I call my auto club first. I did and was told, “It’s going to take about 3 hours for the technician to get there. It’s cold outside so there is a lot going on. We’re very sorry.” Two hours later, the guy shows up. He seemed to know what he was doing. Finally, he said there is no water in the pump and there seems to be a slight leak.” Hmm….my stress level was rising! He added, “You can’t drive the car until it is checked out. I have to call a tow truck!”
Okay guys, this was not going well at all. Forty-five minutes later, the tow truck shows up. A tall, lanky, young and handsome blonde type steps out with a smile on his face. He was bent on making conversation so I obliged and kept it friendly. He said, “Nice car, would you like to sell it?”
Me: “No, I like my car. I just want it fixed.”
Him: “I would buy it.”
Anyway, out of the blue and just as suddenly he put his arm around me and pressed his forehead against mine! I pulled away shocked and put it down to being overtly friendly. I didn’t immediately jump on the “ME TOO” bandwagon. Is this sexual harassment? It was uncomfortable to say the least but I kept my composure. and asked, “Should I pay you?”
Him: “No, it’s coming from the heart.”
Ugh? Long story short, car got loaded up onto the truck and he took off. However, the incident stayed on my mind causing a sleepless night. Yes, I overthink things but more importantly this question kept floating around in my mind. “Did I instigate his behavior?” I have a tendency to smile at strangers but that is just me being friendly. So I keep wondering what this was about.
Let it go? I will so I’m going to put on my shoes, bundle up and go freeze my you know what off! Perhaps, that will help to get me back to my “zen” state again.
It started out like any other day but some days you have to expect the unexpected.
Have an amazing day.
