I lived bitch
God won't let me die.
He's terrified of what might happen when we finally meet.
I was very nearly in a bad car crash, though.
I was taking my car to the mechanic in a nearby town, and as I was driving down a highway, a large silver vehicle blew threw the intersection directly in front of me. He had taken the off-ramp of the intersecting interstate and just plowed through the intersection at top speed. I had to slam on the brakes and jerk the steering wheel as hard as I could to avoid him. I lost control of the car and skidded into the ditch on the side of the road. A witness told me he thought my car was about to flip at one point.
As if that weren't enough, the driver of the offending vehicle just drove off, again at top speed, causing two other cars to bump into each other. Thankfully, it looks like no one was hurt.
I stuck around to give a statement, but since my vehicle didn't actually strike anything, I didn't have to do anything more than that.
It was scary as hell, though. Really, just what I needed to end this week.
My back and knees actually hurt now, because of how tense I got as my car was skidding out of control.
I had plans for today, but no more. Just trying to recover for now.
It's amazing how quickly you can go from "living life" to "barely coping." Which is pretty much were I was BEFORE my brush with death.
Anyway, I'm still here, bitch.

Seems likely the driver was intoxicated, or there was... something else strange going on. While I do hope he gets stuck with a hefty fine, I also hope he gets help if he needs it.

I'm glad you're still here. Apparently the world needs you.

That sucks. Some things that might help:
* progressive relaxation
* a hot bath or hotsocks or other heating aids
* a cup of chamomile or other warm, soothing beverage.
Definitely wait until you less rattled before asking the Universe, "So what exactly do you want me to do about this?" Because if that answer interests you (asking is optional) then you're rather likely to get it, but it's also likely to be disconcerting.
