life as parallel parking

over the weekend i realized that my parallel parking skills
had left me.  for no particular reason, they were just gone.
vanished. non-existent.   and living in a city where there is
only street parking, this is a skill i need to have.  and i tried
to park in a few different spots, one time the space was too small,
another time my wheels kept scraping the curb, a third time the spot
was the perfect size, i just could maneuver my car into it.


and other times i can park without thought, barely have to look and
just slide in.  effortlessly, on an exhale.  there's no
struggle, no fighting, no baleful looks thrown towards asphalt and
concrete.  i just do it and it works out. and it works.

i think this weekend it will work.

i ordered a bunch of prints today from flickr, i can't wait to hang them up!   

today feels really good.
