I apologize in advance for the numerous grammatical mistakes that are sure to occur in this post as I am currently under the influence of some mild painkillers and tequila, also people are dancing all around me. Really, i'm not seeing imaginary people I just felt the need to blog while I had people over. Yay!
So I am not in my hometown right now. So did I make other grown-up type plans this holiday season? Nope! I just almost died. Really. On Christmas Eve I was on the road for about an hour when some asshole attempts to pass us on the left going well above the speed limit while it was pouring rain. Because the idiot didn't wait to clear my van before charging into my lane we ended up slamming into a concrete barrier. Yay me!
But seriously folk, what the fuck indeed!?! Have a knot on the head and some bruising but aside from that I'm okay. The van wasn't so lucky. Had a few blown out tires. Because I was relatively close to home and because everyone I know I was already gone for the holidays I decided to just eat the cost of being towed all the way back. I got back from getting checked out at the hospital and I was stuck. Let me tell you, this town dies at 3pm on Christmas Eve. So I've been stuck here. This is the first Xmas not spent with the family and let me tell you it was rough. I spent the 24th crying on the phone to my family.
But then rays of sunshine started to make its way through. Si gave up sleep to skype with me for half the night. My mechanic neighbor has been helping me get the van in working order (on Christmas even!) And tonight some other stranded friends have come over and we are watching all sorts of fun movies and trying to keep our spirits up.
So thems the facts. A little insightful information. I really miss my family, even when they are driving me crazy home is home. I want so badly to be able to fall in love with Si, but I don't think I will. My dog will probably never like car rides again. And I have some truly awesome people in my life. Really.
