I woke up at 4:30 this morning to go to the gym before work only to discover once I was dressed and mostly awake that my car battery was dead. I could've exercised to one of my yoga DVDs, but I decided to go back to bed instead.
Now, normally a dead battery first thing in the morning would be a sign that the rest of the day wasn't going to go very well. Fortunately, that didn't prove true this morning. After my lovely husband jump-started my car for the second time, I left for work a half hour late, but traffic wasn't any worse than usual.
At the office, I braced myself for my phone to ring off the hook so that I was constantly missing calls. Or, I was afraid it wouldn't ring at all, leaving me without the interviews I needed for stories I have to turn in by noon Wednesday. Instead, I had a manageable stream of phone calls and enjoyed a relatively relaxing day in the office during which I felt like I got a lot of work done at a sustainable pace.
I just hope my good Monday will spill over and I won't wish for my car to die again so that I can get out of going to the office later in the week.
