Redneck Fairytale

I had booked an event with a new client many months ago, lots has happened in the meantime. I moved 26 miles farther away for one.
So yesterday I got myself ready in plenty of time, I left thinking I was doing really good, then looked down and remembered one of the reasons I left so early was that I NEEDED GAS, so being very near the Kroger where I used to shop, I pulled off the interstate, only to realize
I HAD NO WALLET, no money, no plastic (I have my new paper drivers license in the glove compartment)
In a panic, I turned back (knowing I did not have time to go all the way back to my house) I called a relative about half way, she agreed to loan me $20, I barely made it to the gas station, gassed up and made it to the venue with about 20 to spare (more than my normal 60 min set up time)

The performance was great, (they of course don't let you take pictures these days) but the drive back was HORRENDOUS, even for a Monday.
I have serious doubts I'll make a return visit there, but then again, who knows?
