The first flakes of snow fell last night, and I knew today's commute would be a challenge.
The roads were slick, vehicle fender benders almost everywhere, due to the crashes a standstill of wall-to-wall traffic and everyone seemed to be in a rush.
I left early and scraped the ice off my windows, thinking no problem a typical winter day in Canada.
Driving cautiously and giving plenty of space to other cars, I managed to navigate using my GPS which was all red everywhere, the treacherous roads.
I turned up the audiobook, took a deep breath, and reminded myself, just keep your truck in one piece.
With a little planning and a lot of patience, I hope to make it to work without any incidents.
Life can be so much harder.
