Running on Empty.....

Oh how this week was sooooo long. I'm emotionally drain (or circling the drain) If I thinking staying busy is better then sitting at home doing nothing...I just don't know if I can keep this pace up much longer. Kind of what happened on Tuesday. I was already mad at myself for not getting gas when it was $2.09....then it jumped up to $2.19 and $2.28.....well I thought I had enough to make it to my meeting. I have never run out of gas EVER! Well there's a first time for everything! I was on 169 going north. Heading towards the construction zone at 11th and 244....and I hit the first s and I notice I was slowing down....then going up the second s I notice stepping on the gas peddle it wasn't working (or I wasn't mantaining speed) .....then a slowly rolled to a stop. Cars zooming by on my left and a ton of cars behind me wondering why I'm not moving. I just wanted to cry. (actually I did cry) Who was I going to call to bring me gas? How was I going to get out of this area when it was all concreted and no place to push it out of the road. Oh I could just hear the comments being made already. Then this nice lady snapped me out back into reality and offered to try and push my car. At that point in time....I was grateful. So for about a mile she pushed me until I got through the 244 exit heading towards Garnett. We were both thinking about the gas station there. I pull over on the side and got out and she took me to the station. I thank her but I should of gotten her name and address but I still was in distress and not thinking clearly. As I entered the Quiktrip. I had to buy a $3 gas container and a gallon of gas (@ $2.28) then the trek to my car. Going down the banking was interesting to say the least in sandals. Then of course I couldn't get all the gas from the container in but I got enough in to start. Thank God it started. Putty back to the Quiktrip and filled the tank FULL! and head already 45 minutes late. Stresss was an understatement on Tuesday night.
