I know I have forgotten something
So in a hour or so I will test my luck and start my trip to my parents. The road situation isn't ideal (still frozen over in many places) but better than yesterday. I think I have sought all my stuff together and prepared my flat for my absence. Still I have fight the nagging feeling that I overlooked or forgot something.
Luck?
I had in so far luck that I didn't encounter any traffic jam and arrived safely after three and a half hours. The driving itself was mediocre. The damn mud on the roads required the constant use of the wipers.
Then I took a break before the last part of the trip. Up until this point my dear car had worked fine. During the break it caught a cold. Really, when starting it coughed hoarsely and when I got onto the road again all strength seemed to have left. I could do what I wanted the car hardly accelerated and stayed maybe 30 km/h below maximum speed. The slightest slope resulted in a loss of speed. I was so relieved when I arrived my destination. Made immediately an appointment to get the car inspected. At 7:30am tomorrow, oh my.
