A different day

Today was a different and uncommon day for me. I had to bring my car at SUZUKU service center for maintenance. I reached around 09:30 in the morning, and it's 14:42 on my side, and I am still waiting. When I dropped the car, I was told the car would be ready by 15:35. So, I took a bus and went to the nearby mall for coffee and to work a little bit. I drove back to the service station few minutes ago. My son is on second term holidays. It's the first day of his school holidays. I was thinking of spending time with him today, but this maintenance is taking too long. To make up for it, I bought a toy for him at the mall; hoping to surprise him when I reach home. Luckily, I am getting free coffee as I wait here at the service station. Lastly, one thing which I enjoyed today is the feeling of traveling by public bus. I missed this so much. How is your day going on?

I don’t normally hear people talk about missing public transport.

Car maintenance can take a long time. I hope everything is fine when they get your car back to you. It is 6:30 am in my part of the US. I'm always awake all night and sleep during the daytime here. So far, I've done housework and have been reading a good fantasy book the rest of the night. I'll go to sleep around 9 am here. I hope you have a good afternoon/evening and your son is happy with his new toy.

When we took our car to the garage last year, we didn't get it back for ten weeks! Hope your wait is shorter than that!!
