I woke up a little early this morning so I could get ready for my day. I needed to go the store to pick up a few things for the house. I wanted to make barbecue ribs with a side of mashed potatoes and corn. Maybe grab an iced coffee on the way back as a treat. I love coffee!

Before leaving the house I made sure to grab my shopping bag, purse, and car keys. I locked up the house and walked along the front pavement to my car. I got in, closed the door, started the car, and played a song I haven't been able to stop listening to all week.

I started driving down the street. I had only made a few turns then my check engine light came on. The car slowed down and completely shut off. It wouldn't start. I kept trying but nothing was really happening. I ended up calling a tow truck and never made it to the store. I clearly had other issues I needed to figure out. 
 I had no idea what was wrong but I had the car parked in front of the house. I walked back into the house and laid back down in my bed. I didn't tell my boyfriend what had happened because it was too early in the day and he was still sleeping. He gave me a hug and I decided to go back to sleep.

“Amidst the chaos I fade peacefully in your arms,” I thought to myself before drifting off.
