What's this?

Today is not off to a great start.

I just waited over 30 minutes for a curbside to go order at Chick-Fil-A. All of the numbered curbside order parking spots were full, so I had to park in a different spot and turn my hazard flashers on. Then when I finally received my order, my truck battery didn't have enough juice to start the engine. I'm waiting for a family member to come give me a jump now.

When I saw the line at Chick-Fil-A, something told me I should just cancel my order and go on about doing my errands. I didn't listen to my intuition.
