i hydroplaned on the interstate yesterday and made it out with no more damage than a busted up car, an even more busted up knee and a knot on my head.
no other cars involved.
lucky, i know.
a really nice old man stopped to help me because i was being so weird and just sitting there crying because my knee hurt and because and because a really sad song was playing on some old mix from years ago and i couldn't even gather myself enough to work my phone.
i couldn't get through to the memphis city police but didn't want to call 911and cause a big scene,so the man whose name i should've asked helped me get my car turned around right and picked my headlight up off the street and i drove to the police station to file a report. i got a ticket for "striking an object" (the guardrail i hit).
now i can't stop thinking about all those times i wished for death and how stupid that was, but i don't want to be melodramatic so i just pretend to be concerned with insurance and rental cars. whatever.
