Driving to work was a nightmare today

Ok, this is why I get up at 5 and i'm out the door by 6am - just to avoid the traffic. But, today i had a late start because of Sehaj (so i thought). Sehaj was playing with my alarm clock last night and took the cell out. And i just put it in half-asleep +/- duh! So, it was really my mistake. I got up after 7 and zoomed out the door. Left home around 8 and was surprised to see the never-ending line up on Nordel Way for Alex Fraser Bridge. I wish I could just take a U-turn and go back home. The traffic was a grid-lock. Massey tunnel was no better so, i just stuck to the current route. It took me almost 2 hrs. to get to UBC - yikes!
Actually it's all MJM Furniture's fault cuz we don't have a mattress yet - it's more than 20 days and they said we'd get it in 2 weeks. Had we had it, I would be sleeping on my new bed, in my room, with the more reliable double alarm clock. I've been experimenting quite a bit - i did try this weird idea of putting Sehaj's bunk bed twin mattresses side by side on the King size bed Sunday night not realizing that the planks were so wide apart and the matresses were so thin/light that me and Sehaj were all up and down...curvy - well, Sehaj didn't notice much as she's only 40lbs. but, by the time i got up my whole body was aching...by Monday evening i had a sprained neck. So i'm back to the futon downstairs with the un-reliable alarm clock (i'll just bring down my radio alarm clock just to be safe) till the day we finally get our mattress.

Jasdeep,

You can definitely be a good story writer or even a novel writer. You can out expressions well inot the words...I experience the traffic issues everyday and while reading it seemed to me as if it was all my experience.
Keep up.
