I will spend the next 4 months without a car. Come take this journey with me as I discover what my identity is without a luxury car.

My First Day without a Car

Today has been tough.

First, I had a coaching session from 9 - 9:30. Then I had to be a bible study from 9:45 - 11:30 about 4 miles away but then had to head to a networking luncheon at 11:30 (dressed professionally of course) another 5 miles away. This means I had to drive, and since my car went home yesterday, it means I had to take Rich's.

Rich drives that car that is too big for the road. I call it the Living Room - mainly because it is as big as one and has a tv in it. I can't navigate with this car. Let me share. I wanted to get a Starbucks on the way to bible study, but could not park this big car in the few spaces left in their parking lot, so no Starbucks (for the record, I am beginning to think Starbucks should be paying me for how many times I mention them, must make contact). Then I found a cute coffee place I could park at, but I can't parallel park it because, again, too big, so I had to park quite a ways away and walk. Next up, my luncheon. First I ran over a few curbs trying to park at the Denver Country Club. Then I turned on the windshield wipers trying to find the turn signal. I then proceeded to almost run over a dog when I was trying to access the map. Lucky no one died today. If you see me in a big black living room - my suggestion - get out of my way.

I am hopeless. I miss my sedan, my sleek - easy to drive - know where everything is sedan.

Will I ever be happy again?
