So after almost a year of joining spw, I finally decided to make my own journal. Yay!
Today was surreal. Me and my mom were on the freeway when we experienced extreme shaking in the car. My mom had a hunch something was wrong but I reasoned it away with "the wind must be strong today". Then we heard a loud clunking noise and we knew right then that there was a problem. I yelled at my mom to get out of the freeway, but she could only make it as far to the curb. Emergency lights were on. We found out one of the tires has deflated. There was a big slash in the tire. It felt like thousands of brain cells died in me.
I was scared of heights being on the top of the bridge. Cars were streaming by at high speed. We called a family member for help. While we waited, 2 guys pulled over and offered their help. We were debating whether to let them help. If we waited for my dad to come , we wouldn't have to pay a single dime. But it could take a while. Plus the only cash I had was a $100 bill but I only wanted to pay $20-$30. Eventually, we said ok. The guys helped us changed tires (we had a spare) and we paid them.
*Note: I can't change tires. It's not because I don't want to or I'm lazy. I just don't have the physical strength required. I tried doing it once when my tire busted several years ago but it's a lot of elbow grease that I don't have.*
Afterwards, we went to McDonalds' drive thru to get a meal. Everything went smoothly until the last part. My mom suddenly started pulling out of the drive thru so I said, "WHat are you doing?" For some reason, she thought we have already grabbed the food. h: So she pulled back in line and I had to walk out of the car and get the food. The employee who handed me the food joked that the drive thru suddenly turned into a walk thru. :sarcastic:
After that we went home. What a day.
