Another Day in the Life of...

Driving along on a beautiful indian summer day. Why not roll the windows down? Khristi puts on Whitney Houston’s “One of Those Days”. She sings out loud. "Kick off my shoes and relax my feet. Hit the kitchen grab a bite to eat, It's been one of those crazy weeks And I gotta do something special for me See, hit the salon get a mani and a pedi Have a massage, get a sip and then I'm ready. Gotta take time out And my real ladies know what I'm talking about Sing! Oooooooh, baby baby..." Enjoying life and singing along, Khristi spots a bird in the middle of the road. She pays it no mind. After all, birds usually get out of the way. As she is driving and singing, Khristi’s car nears the bird and the bird attempts to fly out of the way. BAAM!!!!! The bird flys up in the air and lands behind the car. It’s dead. Feathers are everywhere! She screams as the music continues to play in the background. Khristi’s car swerves. She can’t see. Feathers are in the car. She finally gains control of the car and at the same time attempts to throw feathers out of the car one by one. Approaching a light, she calms down panting heavily. The music continues to play. Whew. That was a close one. Just "One of those Days", i guess.
Intellectually progressing, yet common sense regressing...another day in the life of Khristi Adams.
