Eva’s Byte #459 – The Lost Day
Fictitious alcoholic writer, Don Birnam, portrayed by Ray Milland in the 1945 film, The Lost Weekend, lost a weekend bingeing on booze. Last week, I lost a day due to complications from a partially closed bridge, the ripple effect of which may ensure for up to two years after the fact of its closing.
The lost day materialized on account of scheduling a routine maintenance for my vehicle at the dealership 14.3 miles away from my residence. A typical 23-minute ride escalated to approximately an hour’s trek given the traffic circumstances. All things considered, not too bad.
Until—it was determined that an automotive part my vehicle needed was not in stock. Rather than have me wait an indeterminate amount of time in the lounge, the dealership provided a rental car.
This necessitated a trip back home, a later trip back to the dealership, and a return trip home with my own vehicle. The two latter trips were traffic-brutal with motorists converging on a major highway from every artery imaginable.
Too spent from traversing one end of the state to the other over the course of eight hours, I lost a day for reading and writing.
In the capacity of a writer, in the here and now, I’m traversing to the end of drafting chapter 51 (1287 words thus far) along my Contemporary work in progress.
*May each of us have the wherewithal to manage the precious gift of time to our liking.
My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
