Working from home.
Ordering my meals delivered.
Didn’t have a pet. Just me, muttering out loud, texting my boss, meeting with clients on video calls.
Today, at noon, I went down to my car. The driver-side door wouldn’t open. Battery’s dead.
I called the auto club and made lunch while I waited for their service employee.
I checked my emails.
A message from 7:44 AM.
Subject line? “New Car Batteries On Sale.”
Before I knew the battery was dead.
What the hell.
