kadie is the only one that loves me. i revel in her entries. is that a real word or did i just make that up?
got into a car accident today- well, pickup truck accident. couldve been a lot worse, so im grateful, ye ye. have to give myself props- despite how SLOW i am, i sure do have good oh-my-god-my-car-wont-stop reflexes, and managed to slow my car down and keep it in my own lane, no spinning, just straight up truck sledding. and i have to give my angels mad props, because, while i was sledding past 3 or 4 cars, two being big trucks, in a two lane highway, the left lane was completely clear. and i have to give God mad mjor props, because the car that i hit was completely empty, and the man and the little boy that wouldve been inside it were already out.
he actually was just getting out of an accident. his car was spinning, and another lady saw him and slammed on her brakes, and she started spinning, and they hit each other, causing both their cars to come to a stop. we were close to the bridge, so even though it sucks to be in an accident, its good that they hit each other, both on the empty passenger side front, so that they stopped and didnt go off the road. and its good that everyone was out of the way when i came sliding towards his car- i slid over 50 ft; even though i didnt have time to come to a stop, i did manage to slow the car down a great deal, and hit his car at an angle, so that it slid to the side, not at him and his boy. actually its really crazy how well things went, considering the circumstances.
the whole bridge was crazy frozen. we werent even on the bridge yet- not even near the toll booths yet. my boss said she heard a count of 16 wrecked cars, or her husband heard on the radio, 16. i hope no one was seriously hurt. im really lucky, and grateful. i actually lost control of the car before i saw his car stopped up ahead; it was almost perpendicular-ly stopped across my lane. he had enough time to get into an accident, and get out of his car and inspect the damage, but yet on a 2 lane highway, no one else was in the left lane before me? its not like there was someone in the lane before, and they moved into the right lane- they couldnt have, because traffic was stopped in the right lane, due to their accident, as i was sliding. but the lane was just empty. one lane out of two. on a highway. at 4:40 pm.
as you can see, im still a little i-cant-get-over-it-weirded-out. but phased or not, i sure am loved =)
in celebration of my loved-ness, i think i will go eat some cookies.
love love loved love. <3
