So yesterday I go out to throw out the chicken that's been stinking up the refrigerator all weekend, and I notice that my back tire is completely flat. I call AAA, cancel my first morning client, and pray I can get this taken care to make it to the studio in time for the rest of my morning clients. The AAA guy comes, puts on the spare (which I really should learn how to do by myself), brings in the paperwork for me to sign, and I'm on my way. I run out to my car to find that my sunroof has completely shattered. WTF!!!! Now, as I stared at my car, not quite comprehending what I was seeing, I began running down all the ways I could be responsible for this:
- Did I not believe in myself enough over the weekend?
- Is this a sign that I've done the right thing by letting the studio go?
- Why can't I stay ahead of my money situation so I don't have to feel completely stressed out when I can't work?
- Will my clients get tired of me?
But then I started thinking. What if this isn't an indication of anything at all except the fact that I had a slow leak in my tire and that's it was just really freaking cold out. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. I think I'll try that for a change.
