About a week ago,
I earned me some extra cash
for fixing this guy’s computer.

Not that much really,
but it’s a couple of bucks
I didn’t have before.

So anyway,
I decided on the drive home,
that’ I’ll stop by the drive-thru,
and surprise Tracy with a slushie drink.
A large one.
Coz I am cool like that.

She loves them slushies!
Makes her happy as a kid in a candy store.

Well, plus even though I am as useful as a bag of rocks inside the house,
I would like to surprise her from time to time.

You know, sucking up to your wife is not a bad thing.
It will come in handy sooner or later.
Hopefully sooner.

Anyways.
After I got her the slushie drink,
to my dismay,
I was stuck right in the midst of 5 major intersections,
in rush hour traffic,
under a scorching 100 degree Florida heat.

So there I was,
I’m about 2 jumps ahead of a fit,
holding the slushie drink in front of the blasting airconditioner,
trying to keep it from melting.

By the time I reached the last intersection,
towards the boulevard where we live,
I tried to be smart and took a different route.

Construction Ahead!

These two words on a certain sign
made me want to throw the hot
liquid cup of slushie drink right in front of me.
Which is a good thing I didn’t,
because the windshield would have stopped it
and it’ll make a big mess in the car.

No matter.
It’ll all be worth it when I hand Tracy her surprise.
Hoping she wouldn’t mind if I give her
one melted slushie drink.
She can put it in the fridge and drink it later anyways.

As I walked in the house,
I see a note by the door.
It says.

Honey,
Tyler and I went out to get some slushies.
Be back later.
Love ya.
Tracy
