Jewells of Thought

This evening I made a supply run. A project needs 4 colors that I don’t have Plus another project needed another color, but I ended up being able to change the colors around a little bit. However, knowing I was going on a run I decided to add that color as well.

I think for that specific project the color change works even better so I think I will leave it since I already have the colors in a pouch set up and ready to go. It will be nice to have the color for a future need though.

On the way up to Hobby Lobby I got a good look at a car heading in front of me. It pretty much sent me into a panic. Mostly because you don’t usually see a hammer on top of a moving vehicle. My thoughts instantly went back to an accident I had with of course a hammer, but I was actually handling 2 of them at the time. It’s a long story and ended up with blood gushing out of my mouth.

Seeing that hammer on this car on a highway really took me by surprise how antsy it made me. Then I began to really think… about what if they all of a sudden go even faster like on the interstate speed. Those speeds could launch that hammer in any direction on an unsuspecting person or child. Of course my windshield even came through my mind. Goodness I am not usually a worry wort, but this undid me a bit. I stayed back from this car, amazingly the hammer as far as I could see didn’t fall off.

Still like I said this made me antsy. It took me a few minutes to calm down and fortunately they went through the orange light, but I stopped at the stoplight and lost the car. Then after a few minutes I was okay again. Sometimes that accident I had as a little girl hits me at times I had to wear a retainer for several years. I can still vividly remember trying to hide in my room so I couldn’t go to the dentist all the way in Lyons at that time, but I did eventually go and had to face the music. At least I got to pick the color of my retainer though; purple.

Am I the only one that has these weird experiences? Have you been driving and panicked or gotten antsy over anything?
