What made me happy today? The road less traveled.
I had to be in Brussels for work today. As I know traffic to Brussels tends to get very busy in the mornings, I got up bright and early. Good thing I did, because there had been a rather large accident near Jette with more than 2 hours of delay. So I told my GPS to try and avoid all that mess.
The good thing is that I have a rather smart GPS (sometimes). It decided to make me drive through Brussels. I really don't like driving in Brussels. It's very busy, and it seems like there's a set of slightly different traffic rules in operation there.
But on the other hand, I'm glad I drove that way. It's the road less traveled, but it's nice to see places you haven't been that often. Plus, it's great driving practice (even though I already have my license).

Wise choice
What made me happy today? Making a wise choice.
Today, I had to do a repeat performance of the drive I did last Friday. It was raining quite hard, and traffic was bad. So after I'd been driving for about two hours, I noticed I started feeling hungry. So I pulled over on a highway parking and decided to eat some dinner.
Turns out that that was the smart choice as it took me another hour and a half to drive those last 40-something kilometers. I never would have made it home without a killer headache from not eating for so long.
Here's to making smart choices!

Meep meep!
What made me happy today? Finally getting home!
What a day... I had to go to a site in Roeselare today, which is about 1 h 45 min away by car. So I got up at 5 this morning, jumped in my car and beat the traffic. Yay :-)
I was hoping I'd have the same luck when driving home, but I kind of forgot that the traffic jams start early on Friday. It took me nearly 3 hours to get home. (which also explains why this update is so late). But I don't really mind being in a traffic jam. It's annoying, yes, but getting worked up about it or getting frustrated will not help. So I just turn the radio up and sing / yell along. It's also loads of fun to look at what other people are doing in their cars while traffic's not moving. I saw a few people singing along, a couple arguing, an guy reading a newspaper, a woman fiddling with her phone etc.
