MOTHERFUCKINGSHITBALLSANDARSE.

So my brother called to ask me to pick him up at work and take him to the ER, because he was dizzy and nauseous. I got in the car and got halfway down the highway to where he works, but then this car in front of me swerved to avoid something.

What was it? Hell if I know, but I hit it, and now my front driver's side tire is flat, the rim is bent, and the frame is broken so that the door gets stuck when I try to open it. I'm still sitting here, too.

Oh, and I have a $500 deductible and $190 in my account for the next two weeks.

I almost wish I had gone to work today ... almost.

(The kicker? My brother called when I was halfway here and left me a message to say his copay was too high and he was staying at work. Needless to say, he felt awful when he heard.)

A quick update

1. A cop arrived not long after I made a call to Progressive to check on me, and on the guy who stopped a few hundred feet in front of me, who apparently ran over the same thing I did and had a flat tire. The cop basically said he'd be writing it up as a road obstruction rather than an actual accident so it wouldn't go against my insurance, and said that my tire was probably the only real victim.

2. Then my dad arrived and established, yeah, the tire needed a change, and that should be enough to get me home. My tire looks like it ran over, like, three different things. The rim's dinged to hell, but there's a chance the tire place down the street can fix it.

3. I'm fine. I was crying right afterward, and if I would have remembered right after I pulled over I would have taken one of the alprazolam I had in my purse AND the Lexapro I had intended on taking with my lunch but forgot about. But once the cop said it looked worse than it probably was, I calmed down a bit.

4. My brother freaked. It was almost hilarious how many times he apologized. I was all, "Calm down, dude, I'm fine, it's not your fault, and it's not like I ran over YOU," but he was still sending me texts with frowny faces later on. I'm thinking I can finagle a free Chinese dinner out of this. (Okay, and maybe part of the cost of fixing the tire. But still!)

5. I took today off so I wouldn't have a reason to stress myself out. Er, that worked out well?

*headdesk*

Oops.

My computer teacher said he didn't apply a curve to the midterm because one person got a 96.

... uh, I got the 96.

KITTY!

That's George. He's a moose. :)

Wyatt is cuter than you.
