Yesterday, I took the day off from posting on the blog so I could focus on resting.
@guthrie woke me up around 3AM and had trouble falling asleep which threw off my sleep schedule completely so I needed that extra day to catch up. I woke up today knowing that it was Friday and I had game night to look forward to. I had a planned to write about that tonight but something unexpected occurred and I’m sure you can guess what happened from the picture above.
It was risky for me to leave the house this afternoon because I knew it would be snowing and everyone out here SUCKS at driving. There were no problems getting to the coffee shop, I had to park further down the block because of winter parking restrictions but we were okay with it. Near the end of the night @guthrie spilled his smoothie all over his pants and I thought that would’ve been the highlight but I thought too soon.
Not even 5 minutes away from the coffee shop, my car had completely stopped at a traffic light then it was suddenly bumped from behind.
It was complete unexpected and I was so pissed because it HAD to happen just as we were making our way home. Thankfully, @guthrie and I are okay. We’re feeling a little sore from the collision and he’s very unhappy with the person who hit us. I’m almost positive the guy was on his phone because I had already been stopped for 3-5 seconds when he rear-ended me.
I followed the guy who hit me and we exchanged information in a parking lot. He explained that he was rushing to get home to let his dog out and that he needed to get back to work. He asked if I had called the cops and begged me to not call them because he would be late for work. I did end up calling but they told me that they wouldn’t come if the car was still drivable. I wasn’t trying to be a jerk by making the call, I just felt uncomfortable and needed reassurance. In the middle of all this chaos, he also told me that the front of his car was mostly damaged from another car accident which occurred recently. Right away, he was flagged as a reckless driver in my eyes.
@guthrie was complaining about his injuries the whole ride home. Telling me that his ear infection had returned after the collision, that his head, tummy and numerous other ailments were causing him discomfort. I really won’t know what wrong with him until tomorrow, but he looked okay to me, just sleepy.
We arrived home only to discover that the trunk is busted. 😫
I popped it open to retrieve my work bag and regretted it when I noticed that the frame around the trunk was messed up. @kommienezuspadt messaged @bryanpolitte to ask him to help me rope it shut tomorrow. I’ll gratefully accept any help I can get because I don’t know what I’d do if the bumper fell off!
Again, I’m thankful that this accident wasn’t serious and that no one was injured. I do feel bad for worrying @kommienezuspadt when he’s on the other side of the country. He’s only been gone for two days and I know how stressed he must be.
