-Mission f by Elaine Townshend
Just one
of those days!
1 should have knovvn 'the kind of clay
,-yesterday was 'going to be when the egg
rolled off the cupboard onto the floor. If-I
had, been smart, I would have crawled back
into "bed and cancelled the day, :Instead I
plodded on.
By nine thirty, 1 was readr to start •
writing or to go to the post office. The sun
-.was 'filtering through heavy gray-clonds •
that have become all too familiar this
*Winter; 1, should have taken advantage of
the reasonably clear weather, but I had
some ideas for a Coluinn floating around
my head. By lei:thirty, my ideas were
typed on paper and snow was falling -
outside. - '
Then began my daily tonfrontatiOn 'with
my car, which has as much. difficillty
starting in the morning as I do. Yesterday
morning I didn't think she'd make it. The
battery ground sroWei and slower, lower
and lower: Just when 'I considered giving
: up, the motor chugged. After, more
grinding, she coughed twice, then -three'
times and fipally 'she was purring like a
kitten with distemper, ' •
My brother-in-law often says I don't
know hoW f start a car. Inwardly I'm
begittning to agree with-him; outwardly I
blame the automatic choke. He drives a,'67
Ambassador that "starts like a charm",. I
point out that his car is, plugged in every
night, blit•he shrugs off My argument with
• a line that's too long and. filled with too
many mechanical terms for me le repeat-.
If I had been smart,Yesterday morning, I
would haVe stopped at the garage and told
hurch sponsors
the mechanics, "She's ally ours! Fix her."
Instead I drove straight home, dooming
myself to another battle on^ the next
morning and the next morning and the next next-
morning, until the car finally wins.
• After lunch, I returned to my notes,•
• whieh'clIdn't seem its• premising then_as -
they did in the morning; I decided to start
Over again.
When I write,. I becoine oblivious to
everything else, and it took a sharp hunger'•
pain to remind me suppertime was •
approaching. After surveying the frig,
concluded that- cold beef,"some boiled
carrots and a baked potatowasthe7quickest
menu. I returned to my typewriter, and the
next thing. I noticed was the• aroma of
burning carrots. To avoid the same results
, with, the potato , I removed it frd'm the
"oven immediately.. Therefore, 1 dined "on:
over-cocked• carrots and an under-cooked
potatoJertunately, the cold beef-was just
about right.
Later, with the charred, carrot pot
scrubbed and thccOlumn finished, I•thought
the day might end on a brighter note than it
began. I had several phone calls- to. make,
some of. them long distance, If '.I' had been
smart, I would have given up after the first
five tries;-threelinsy 'signals and two no.
' answers is an omen of worse to come. But I
tried once more, and that was. the last
straw: Nothing irritates me more than--
dialing a wrong number by loiig distance:
I went ,to• bed telling myself it was "just
one of thoseclays',_' and hoping those days
didn't come in twos.'
