Constructive Commute

Construction swaddles my neighborhood.
All traffic flow is choked.
My commute is the worse part of my day.

To be hundreds of feet from my subdivision entrance at a total stand still for minutes at a time is beyond aggravating. While gawking angrily at the cars passing me on the opposite side of the street, I refrain from flicking off every construction worker (who all appear to be doing nothing but standing between me and my home). All I could do is breathe.....count the number of barrels lining the side of the road before I could make my right hand turn.

Mad about it!

Luckily for me and my stress level, I took a mental detour to my Happy Place, Tami B’s World of Design. The orange and white barriers became my psychological support.... the striped stumbling blocks translated into interior inspirations.

Before I knew it, I was pulling into my driveway with a smile on my face and a head full of ideas. Road Rage Turned Design....now that's a transformation for you!

Let's just hope my construction rendezvous will keep my interest until next fall!
