The Flesh...It Burns!
Okay, new issue. Remember how I lost my little Toyota Paseo in an unfortunate Jiffy Lube excursion?
Well, I got in an accident today with my sisters car that I had shipped out here from Ohio. Turning left out of the office lot I failed to see a man on the left who hit my driverside, set off both airbags in my car. Praise God for several things...he is fine, his car is drivable, no airbags in his car deployed, I can walk, I got out of my car, I have insurance and a great job and no other committments to leave (the first time I've been in such a situation), my boyfriend is awesome and came to my aide, as did my bosses and coworkers who took pics and helped me get and give info.
You will notice I look like rudolph the famous reindeer. My jaw is sore and my face is burned from the airbag that saved me from a worser fat. I have some cuts on my chest and my wrist...glass I think from the windsheild or possibly from the necklace I was wearing, some bruises on my knee and shin...and I'm a little dazed. But I'm healthy, my boyfriend and roommate love me and my Dad was glad I was safe.
Perhaps this is my immediate opportunity to put into practice my cries for a simpler lifestyle, more focus, more sleep. I can embrace my carless poverty ;) and choreograph, write, plan, save, walk...ect. It's more constructive than beating myself up for being a stupid idiot who has just gotten into the second accident of her young life. For crying out loud I have only been driving for 8 years. But I guess considering all the road trips from OKC to CA to Chicago to Cincinnati and the million trips to LA I took...I'm one lucky reindeer!

You are not stupid. The driveway has an extremely unsafe blindspot. And quite frankly I think that one of the ways satan gets to you is telling you lies about things that happen to you that may be your "fault" but are beyond your control. It undermines your confidence in yourself and subsequently in the amazing witness and servant you can be, and frequently are.
I love you Melanie. Thank you for telling me what you think. I makes an impact
So....here'sto more girl time? :)
Cheers! (Followed by an imaginary clink.)
Glad to hear you're not hurt too badly, and not beating yourself up. Doesn't do a bit of good to dwell on bad stuff. Hope you're fully-recovered soon. And thanks for the note...
So glad to hear you are alright- despite the wounds. You're starting to feel like my little sister.
Stronger, that's such a cool comment. You definitely feel sisterly to me :)
Oh, and in the future no more naked pics.
Oh my gosh, this could have been so much worse. I'm so happy you are alright. And to think I was obsessing over a little cut I got at work a couple of days ago. You must be in a lot of pain right now! Take care of yourself, will you?
Hugs,
Cinthia
