This modern life! :P A First World challenge, for sure!

Good grief! :o How did you ever get the car engine to shut down? ???
CellarDweller:
How strange, a car that wouldn't turn off!
Hope the repair wasn't too expensive!
Front-Ranger:
I haven't had it repaired yet. The problem's not a crisis. If the car won't turn all the way off and the key won't release, I just start it up again a few times until it does turn off, finally.

Unexpected stress relief today: I wanted to make a curried tuna salad for lunch, but found no curry powder in my pantry. Fortunately, I remembered that you can make your own curry powder and had all the ingredients to do so. Grinding up the spices in my mortar and pestle, I savored the aroma and instantly felt less stressed.
Here are the ingredients:
1 Tbsp ground coriander seeds
1 ½ tsp cumin
1 tsp turmeric
½ tsp ground black pepper
½ tsp chili powder
½ tsp ground ginger
I used whole coriander (from my garden!), cumin and pepper; the rest were ground. I also added some garlic.

Sounds delicious! I didn't realize curry (as in the substance in the spice aisle, not the name for an Indian dish) wasn't just its own thing, like parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
