So, yeah, I've had an interesting weekend. Well, latter half of a weekend. So, Saturday night, this huge wildfire breaks out in Adamsville, the city just outside of Birmingham metro area where my grandmother lives. I didn't know anything about it, because, really, I don't watch the news as much as I probably should. Anyway, I was at home for the weekend because I had a dentist appointment on Friday afternoon, and I just ended up staying. But anyway, yeah, back to Saturday night, my dad, baby sister, and I get back in the house from dinner, and we get a phonecall from Grandma. Turns out, the fire is blazing right across the street from her house, and the firemen had just evacuated Granny and her. Thankfully, they're all right, and the house was okay too, but nerve-wracking much? I got in Sunday night, and you could still smell the smoke, and see it steaming across the street. Apparently, yesterday while I was in class, it flared back up again too. Joy. The smoke was choking-thick when I came in y esterday after school.
But! Yesterday morning, I had a car wreck. Nothing major, I'm not hurt, the other guy wasn't hurt, and the car isn't too badly damaged (I don't think), but I'm a bit stiff in the neck today and such. The bottom passenger side of my rear bumper is cracked, and I'm noticing other things this morning, too. Like, my right turn signal is broken. It acts like a turn signal on speed compared to my left one. So yeah. I'm supposed to go Friday, when Dad can get down here, to have it looked at and have an estimation for damages done. Joy.
But, oh! To make this even better, I had a quiz in theatre Monday morning on the play I had to go see. Guess who missed it while she was exchanging insurance information with the guy who hit her? Oh, yes. Guess which teacher doesn't do any sort of makeups? Oh, yes. I was Not. Happy.
I'm still not.
