That Escalated Quickly…

Hello everyone and welcome back once again. Happy 2018. I know we’re only five days into the new year but hopefully, you’ve been well and life has either eased up or halted on the cruve-balls for a bit.

As for me today, started off good. I went to bed really early last night due to a migraine. So I was up at 7:45AM, Took my shower (oh btw the shower is fixed and we finally got our hot water to run again in the kitchen yesterday!) I got the car all nice in warm. I did a quick run to Wal-Mart because my paycheck didn’t kick in until 4:09pm yesterday instead of it’s regular 11:45AM. Which means I had to wait until today to get my medication and the cat food. It was snowing a lot yesterday. So I grabbed my items, and then went to the gas station next door. Finally filled up the car (It hasn’t been at a full tank in weeks!) I also bought my lottery tickets, I splurged a little.

Yesterday, the new Secretary found $2 in her new dress that she bought from Kohls and the other secretary suggested she buy a power-ball. So she went to gift shop in the hospital and bought one (I didn’t even know they sold lottery tickets in the gift shop) She’s like “first I found some money, then ran into my aunt who bought me lunch. I’m feeling really lucky about this ticket.” Do it make me a bad person if I hope she comes nowhere near that jackpot? I’m not jealous; she comes from money, she’s always going on vacation and she’s always shopping. She’s always on her phone looking up something to buy and telling me about it; as I am surrounded by a mountain of work. She normally has work to do as well but she would rather spend her time, texting, or on social media or shopping

! It’s not her fault that she comes from a good family and nice financial background. Perhaps, she is under the delusion we all have similar backgrounds…  It’s just I wish people would be more thoughtful to those around them. Not everyone is blessed like that. Yeah, we had a nice Christmas; where for once, there were presents and we had lots of food! Thanks to mom getting a piece of grandma’s estate (the family sold the house) but that’s not our reality everyday, It sucks to be the poorest person in the room.  I said it once, and I’ll say it again I don’t mind losing to someone who is either equally passionate if not more or very qualified than me. But I hate to lose to someone who is none of the above and who doesn’t deserve it.

Although, I was able to get my medication this morning. It did not stop my migraine from coming or from me becoming very nauseous. I did take some of my medication, but one of the side effects is nausea. As much as I didn’t want to go back to Wal-mart I went back to get me some anti-nausea medicine. Today, I was involved in a hit and run, I got hit by a car. It backed right into me before I could cross the street to get into Wal-Mart.   You know where the door to the home and garden section door is at Wal-Mart (I’m assuming you have a Wal-Mart in your city that set up similar to mine)? I was one lane over from the door waiting to cross. I right behind this big car. I don’t think the driver saw me, if he/she had checked his/her passenger mirror they would have saw me. While waiting for the cars to go by. The car backed right into me. They hit my left hip/backside😦. I was pushed forward( they backed all the way out) and the car jumped a bit.I know they felt it. The car comes to a complete stop the driver doesn’t get out. Doesn’t ask if I’m me if I’m okay. I moved to get on top of the…divider you know where the tree are with the wood chips that separates the parking from the crosswalk. The car was stopped for about five seconds and then it drove away. I feel some pain but I don’t think it’s bad enough to go to the doctors. I was in shocked that they didn’t ask me if I was okay, there is no mistaking the impact that they hit me. It wasn’t until I had posted on my social media that my friends had informed me I was just in a “hit and run ” I’m only use to seeing those in dramas I assume the car would charge full speed hit someone and keep going. I didn’t know a hit and run could be like what I had experienced…At first I was in shock, as I walked through the store then I became angry, I couldn’t believe that bastard had hit me, and even more not bother to ask if I was okay. I was contemplating asking Wal-Mart security to view the footage to get the police involved.  Upon speaking to my bff of the north, she said something that struck a cord with me “I hate how all this stuff happens to you.” Thankfully, I have no bruises. Wearing that big heavy coat really absorbed a lot of the impact.

I hope you’re all have a much better start to 2018 than I am.

I Just Got Into My First Car Accident

Hello everyone and welcome back once again! Story time.

Today, was an eventful day. So I left the house early this morning to hit up the bank. While on my way, traffic was pretty back up; there I was waiting in in line, for the traffic to get moving the light was red, next thing I know I get slammed into. My first thought was “I did I just get hit….was that an earthquake?!” I’m looking around no one’s freaking out I look up into my rear-view mirror and I see a guy doing the whole “Oh F*ck!” and i’m like ” I just got..hit…i’ve never been in a car accident before I don’t know proper protocol, realizing i’m in the middle of the rode I pull over to side and put on my flashers, the guy follows suit. My first question to him is “Are you okay, is your car alright!” that seem to set a relax tone when he realized I wasn’t going to go off on him. Cars be fix and replaced people can’t. He says he’s fine, his car is fine he ask me about mine, we both take a look at mine, we don’t see anything. his car ended up hitting the spare tire on my car, I take off the cover to see if there is any damage to the spare tire. *gets embarrassed* years worth of leaves and dirt and god knows what else falls out. Apparently that’s what made the tire cover look so full, its also what took in the brunt of the impact. Me and the guy both laughed at that. we exchanged insurance information . Like we said to each other “I don’t think we’ll need it, but just in case. Fun Fact about me: I’m the type of person who will totally have her shit together in emergencies and about twenty or so minutes later will have a break down about it after the emergency is over. I have delayed effect. It hit me, I was in a car accident, especially since we had cars honking at us, we pulled over as much as we could and had our flashers on. I just wanted to scream don’t f-ing honk at me, i was just in a accident and i’m a little sensitive right now! As I went under the bridge that’s when I discovered they are doing road work so I can’t go on the side street where sefcu is. (>_<) Which means I’ll have to go on Albany ST (grrr) From the bridge onward, I just felt very out of it, I guessed the word “spooked” would describe it. Then there was that moment when I couldn’t find his insurance information, and then i’m like “wait did I grab it?” and i’m like “damn it, now is not the time to be having memory lapses” (If you have been reading my last few post, then you know for the past year that my short term memory has been declining, i’ve been alright for the past few weeks, but after today’s accident my short term has been excuse my language Fucked up. I blame it on me being a little shaken.. )as I was busy chiding myself, I came realize the direction I was heading was towards my old job and not my current job. So I turned around and went the right way. pulled into my work parking lot. and called someone I knew would make feel better. My best L, who was the only who bother to ask me if I was okay. Even after I her told I was ‘okay’ she  still reiterated “Well, i’m glad you’re okay.” I told my brother about the accident and his response was “did you tell mom? well I GUESS, I HAVE TO DO IT, SINCE this is going to end up coming to me anyway. we’re going to have to fall a claim. *in a condescending tone* you did bother to get the insurance information didn’t you? good…then you’re no fault.” (I’m thinking to myself, I’m the one whose emotionally NOT okay, must you take this situation and make it about you, yet again? I thought it was really weird, his main concern was where is the car, and when was I bringing it home, but not if I was okay, I thought it was weird he didn’t ask if I was okay. Well I guess not “weird” but hurtful; when he got into an accident last year it was a “big deal” I get into an accident the car is more important) I came home a few hours later, mom walked right past me, didn’t ask me how I was or if I was okay, she just went to the back of the car, and  inspected it. Turns to me and says “We only have one good car, where did this happen?) I got the feeling she was blaming me for this >=(. Neither bothered to ask if I was okay. I’m trying not to let this rub me the wrong way….But it rubs me the wrong way. This is NOT the first time a traumatic situation that has happen to me, and neither of them bothered to ask if I was okay. Not gonna lie, and excuse the language, but shit like this, really makes me want to come into a large sum and not give those two a damn thing. I know its not the “Christian” way to be keeping tally’s of every time someone truly does you wrong…..But I would be lying if I said majority of my life I wasn’t keeping tally.

The bright note to all of this is, I did get my lottery ticket in the end (that’s the reason why I went to bank so early in the morning in the first place.)
