I was really busy on Tuesday, well into final layout of the April Horizons<\/a>, with phones ringing like crazy, when I got a call from my friend Maria<\/a>.\u00a0 “Are you busy?<\/em> she asked?\u00a0\u00a0 Hmmm four days after deadline with just 5 days to get the April mag done – am I busy?\u00a0 Aaaugh! <\/em> Final layout week I usually stay glued to the computer and don’t drive out unless I have to.\u00a0 I schedule myself tightly and, we all know what happens when we do that.\u00a0 So Maria is about a half mile from my office and needs a ride into Melbourne.\u00a0 Well, that’s different.\u00a0 I am always glad to help a friend.<\/p>\n

It turned out to be a good thing, since I really needed to take a break but was up to my ears in emails and phone calls, so I didn’t want to chance it.\u00a0 I was at that burned out stage where I thought throwing more effort into it was the answer, rather than stepping away from it.\u00a0 I was considering taking a nap when she called, so I figured I could just drive her in the time I was planning to nap and still be on schedule.\u00a0 It turned out to be just as refreshing and invigorating, plus I got some work done that I would not gotten done otherwise.\u00a0 Synchronistically, the timing couldn’t have been better.<\/p>\n

I needed to buy some cases of cat food and PetSmart in Melbourne had them on sale.\u00a0 No way I could drive to Melbourne until next week<\/em>, I thought.\u00a0 But I had to pass right by it after dropping Maria off, so it was perfect timing.\u00a0 I asked her if there was anywhere else she needed to go on the way home, and she needed to stop by work, and stop by 2 banks, so we did that.\u00a0 It gave me a chance to check voice mail and also make a call to Becky to suss out a document that wasn’t converting properly after Fred<\/a> changed the name of the document which also changed the .doc extension.\u00a0 Men!<\/p>\n

Also, while I waited for Maria while she was in the bank, I got a voice mail on my cell phone that I likely wouldn’t have gotten for several days since I don’t turn the phone on unless I’m in the car.\u00a0 If the phone is not on, my caller id does not record the number of the missed call.\u00a0 As I was checking the voice mail, they called again.\u00a0 If I hadn’t been in the car right then, they would not have gotten me on the cell phone.\u00a0 More synchronicity!<\/p>\n

On the way home I stopped at Circle K to buy my $20 Fantasy 5 quick pick tickets and saw my friend Joy<\/a> in the store and we got to chatting.\u00a0 I didn’t notice until I was halfway home that the cashier had given me 20 Mega Money tickets instead.\u00a0 I can only assume that means the Universe had to distract me to give me a winning ticket. I’m cool wit dat.<\/p>\n

So I can never complain when my plans get interrupted.\u00a0 I know it means the Universe has something better in mind for me.<\/p>\n

And I love how all my friends line up in the dance with me<\/p>\n
