so I had a pretty crazy day today.
I was having a lovely day off. The weather was nice. I woke up, had a little OJ, ...decided I wanted some nice morning music so I listen to the second half of the Foo Fighters' In Your Honor I had been told the first half of that album was really heavy, and the second mellow. even the reviews on amazon decribe it as being to heavy in places, ....but it's not the first album is a basic classic rock sound, and the second is rather mellow. ...and I really haven't listened to it too much since I got it. but this morning out of the limited selection not in my car, I decided to play it.
I was really in the mood for something mellow today. I've come to decide I really love the second disc. It was the perfect way to start the day. ...a little oj, then a little coffee, ..was exactly what I was in the mood for. I love moments like that, craving a certain sound or to watch a certain movie...and just being able to walk over and select it. ....part of why I own so many movies, even the ones I like and appreciate but don't watch often, or maybe haven't watched,....because one day I will have the urge.
Was a perfect morning,.......but the rest of the day,...well it was pretty crazy, ...am still a bit rattled.
See, after starting off rather relaxed, we had to zip around so we could get Becky to a hospital for her appointment. ....Seems she took a random spill the yesterday and knocked her elbow pretty hard and broke her arm.
While in the waiting room I started the new dragonlance book. ....was a rather enjoyable start. ...was continplainting being bad and reading a bit more when I got home.
Being that it was still rather early we swung by her work so she could pick up her pay check and to tell them she wouldn't be able to work for maybe a month.....broken dominent arm and all.
after that we decded that we would swing by the back so she could cash it and then we were getting lunch.
We turned out of the parking lot, and drove up the road a bit, and turned on the the highway, ....note this is exactly the drive I make every day to work.
I had the window rolled down, it was a gorgeous day, we were listening to some Johnny Cash.
I was in the right lane, up ahead of me I saw a truck in the left lane with its blinker on and it looked like it needed to get into the right lane, I saw a lot of cars zipping ahead, so I held back a little, ...I didn't break, I just didn't excelerate. ...and right about there, out of no where, a truck slides into me.
I was in shock, I could not believe it had just happened....I saw the truck pull over to the side of the road, so I did the same....a the time, I think I was considering to keep going....I dunno. how do you react to that?
Seems the driver didn't see me in the lame and just decided to come into mine. ...at the time it didn't seem so bad, but upon later inspect my door, the driver's side, was bashed in to the point it won't open, and the mirror is all the way back. ...plus it was scraped from pretty much the back of my car all the way to the front wheel. It really looks bad.
It was also our luck that a cop was driving by and the guys in the truck flagged him down, ....and my parents were actually just coming back from a trip, so instead of being at work, they were driving by and were able to talk to the cop and produce a better insurance card...
At the time I was in pretty good shape, ...but afterwards I started to wig out. ....thinking all these what ifs. ....What if I hadn't reduced my speed to yeild to the truck? What if he had been going 40 and I had zipped on up to 40.....its quite possible that his passenger and I could have been seriously hurt!
What if it had been cold at the time and my window had been up....it could have seriously shattered.....and then what?
Everyone walked away thanks to something. ...really I seriously could have be killed or slashed by glass, or paralized....I really am rather tramatized.
and I'm sad for my poor car.
