9-101 (11/4/22) -- Anticipation

The day was cold and windy. Last night, snow had dusted the ground with white. It had melted by morning today, though. I went to fill the gas tank today and for the first time ever, I had to 'pre-pay' for gas prior to fill up.Actually, it is a pre-authorization of the maximum amount you can purchase. I guessed how much it might take and was very happy when the amount was about half of the guess. Now, the price is a moving target, so guessing the cost is not an easy task. 

I am heading out of town for a day trip tomorrow and seem filled with anticipation. This includes some apprehension about the trip and some excitement about being out of town for a change. Generally, after a winter of being just around town, taking a trip elsewhere for any reason becomes a positive. Given that there has been far less travel both in and out of town due to pandemic surges, any travel brings excitement. For this trip, though, the focus of the travel brought much excitement. 

The first two lines of a song came to mind while thinking through the anticipation of the past few days. Those lyric lines describe how something expected moves towards you. It is an older song with a great upbeat style. It made me smile today. Keep safe. Enjoy!

Everyday -- Buddy Holly and The Crickets
