i'm loving on the honey chamomile tea.
(pic from google images.)
now on to the serious stuff.
below is an illustration of the accident i almost got in on sunday night.
yes. i drew it via paint, but i think it's a pretty good representation of the highway...and my brush with death.
the pinky/purple square represents my car.
the blue square represents the person that tried to cut me off.
the yellow diamond represents the carpool lane.
so i was driving along (at about 80 mph), listening to some horrible remake of walk like an egyptian. when this person (male or female, i know not) tries to get in my lane. i know that the far left lane is where it's at, because that's where i usually drive. however, it ISN'T the place to be when there is a car RIGHT NEXT TO YOU that tries to cut you off.
so this car cuts me off, i swerve to the left and then try to swerve back to the right so i don't cut off some unsuspecting driver in the carpool lane.
spin
spin
(space for dramatic effect.)
spin
spin
then...
stop.
dead engine.
no one hit me.
i hit no one.
and my car started once i stopped freaking out.
after a sob fest in the chevron parking lot(nearly fatal accidents make me cry, i guess) and a million prayers,
i got back on the road, stayed in the far right lane and went 50 mph the whole way home.
it's a miracle that i wasn't hurt. and it's a miracle that i didn't hit anyone in the process of spinning out of control.
i can handle a few broken bones or a smashed up car, but i wouldn't be able to deal with the fact that my car had hurt someone else.
Heavenly Father's looking out for all of us.
you better believe it.
p.s. i hate chemistry. "let's take math and add chemicals!!!! that'll be fun."
