Day 32: Dadgummit

Aha:
Okay, so I wasn't planning on having my driving irritability limits tested so soon, but I found myself on the freeway today...in traffic.  I thought I would miss the rush at 3:30 in the afternoon, but this is Milwaukee, so I guess any time of the day is prime-time for traffic.
Anyway, my first inclination was to get really irritated and demonstrate some slight road rage.  However, in His tender mercies, I was quickly reminded of my rant from yesterday (as well as my commitment to "Remember Him") and how I had decided that if/when I was ever stuck in traffic again, I would react differently...and I did. :)  I knew it was risky taking the freeway and as I had no other options, I had to be okay with it.  I decided to just take a deep breath and keep driving.  I don't know if it was coincidence or not, but once I got onto surface streets I hardly hit any lights!  Perhaps it was a "reward" for passing the stress/irritability test?  Either way, I felt better for choosing a better attitude and my stop-and-go car ride was still rather enjoyable.

Ha ha:
Clinton had to give a presentation at the hospital today during his rotation.  As per usual, he said something funny and everyone started laughing.  One female classmate apparently laughed so hard her gum went flying out of her mouth and hit him on the leg.  Without a moment's hesitation Clinton simply and quickly responded, "You know, most people just throw rotten tomatoes."
Even when he suffers a surprise gum-pelting he's quick as a whip!
