you drive away from the gas pump with the pump still in your tank 
Waaaaaaay too much on my mind.
The gas station attendant was really nice about it. And it's good to know those emergency shut off things work. 
Somehow I managed to get home without further incident.

I have been pulling stuff like this all week, totally distracted and making the dumbest mistakes.
Tesla, I am glad to be in good company.
Sitting safely on my couch now with a glass of wine. Hopefully nothing will go wrong anymore until tomorrow morning.

....you think you've lost your jacket (with the car keys in the pockets) in a store while trying on fall coats. This happened to me on Wednesday......I went searching for my H in a panic....asked for help from the staff.....
H told me I had left my jacket in the car and that my keys were in my purse!

I have been known to stop at green lights. EEK!
Lord, with Your help I will focus on each small step of the climb, instead of the mountain that stands before me.
