Two surprises today:
1. The leftover-from-a-party turkey I put in my sandwich was bad. Out it came! Voila! Cucumber sandwich.

2. Our 2004 Corolla with only 130,000 miles on it needs a new transmission. Big Surprise. I thought Toyota's lasted longer than that.
I am still retaining a sense of humor.
...For now. Lol
The bright side: I got to spend two hours reading Ernest Hemingway while waiting for a diagnosis at the mechanic's. That's always some splendidly good grease for the songwriting gears.
Writing this: Slightly cathartic
