We had a bit of a snowstorm over the weekend. Michigan didn't get hit as bad as some of the other states, but it was big enough to cause problems on the roadways. Even with the road crews working overtime and giving up their weekends, it was still a mess.
Poor road conditions can make a commute a nightmare. Although I-75 was fairly clear this morning, it still had patches that make your heart do funny things when you hit them. I've gotten pretty good at navigating these spots, and feel fairly confident out there.
However, this morning I was about 15-20 minutes out from home and realized that I had left my cell phone sitting on the counter at the house. My heart sank and I felt nauseous. Now, I've gone thousands of miles in the past without a cell phone, and never had I felt like this. The inability to make a phone call if I ran off the road or had engine trouble was a bit overwhelming. I was surprised at the intensity of my dismay, and then felt foolish over being afraid. When did I become so attached to this little piece of technology? I cannot say but I can tell you one thing - I'll remember the phone tomorrow!
