Here in this undisclosed place I live, we have freeways. We also have construction. And, like green eggs and ham, freeways and construction were made for each other. They are always together. It's like construction is this sad jobless girlfriend who only lives to follow freeway around and stay with him no matter where he goes.
In the place where I live, freeways and construction are even more in love than usual.
So I was driving down a heavily-under-construction freeway the other day when I saw a large white sign that said, STAY IN LANE. This sign was repeated every 1.2 miles. Initially, I laughed. Because of course I'm going to stay in the lane, where the heck else would I go? It has later been explained to me by an unknown and omniscient source that this actually means "don't change lanes."
But to me, it means, DON'T PANIC, THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET CRAZY BUT JUST KEEP DRIVING.
Sometimes, I need a STAY IN LANE sign for life. Because things are going to get crazy, but I'm in the right lane. And I just need to keep driving right down that lane, even though I have no idea what insane detour I'm being taken on now.
Love,
Lizzy ;)
PS-- I'm happy. Just so's you all know.
