Car crash last night, still shaking this morning Hi all, guess what?, I'm alive...and you should be damn happy that I am because spk and I got into a lovely altercation with a tree last night which I am still shaking from. Driving Pontiac Trail home late after waiting for spk's friend to drop off some weed which hasn't been happening. and it was raining and leaves blowing everywhere so spk couldn't see that well. We were passing the Fire and Police Station and next thing we know there's a HUGE downed tree in the road. Brakes didn't work in time so we had to drive through it (spk makes all of these nice split second decisions). All I got was a headlighted vision of HUGE downed tree and then the next thing I know there's branches going through my window at my head. I'm screaming, I duck (instinct) away from the incoming branchs, the glass shatters in my window and crumbles into the car and onto my lap. I remember mentally praying for no injuries, to not go blind or be sliced by the glass (luckily I had on spk's thick as hell jacket and long pants) none of which happened. Spk stops the car once we get through the tree. I ask if he's all right and he says he is and I reassure him that I am. Later I wonder why I ask first and he doesn't double check me but he's right I was sounding surprisingly sane about the whole thing. Good to know that some part of me will function after a near-death experience enough to make sure everyone else is okay before we indulge completely in our own terror. Which I did. After checking everything out I went into quiet deer-in-headlights time. Spk got out to look at the car and I was trying to steel myself to get out of the car as well but he came back before I finished the process. It seems nothing on the car was hurt or torn off except my window. So we drove home and I was frozen and still in shock. Lots of thanking God and praying and all that. I slowly got out of the car when we got home and helped spk get the shower curtain to prevent rain from damaging the car. Then I baked some cookies to soothe myself. I am mentally okay with things now but I keep feeling everything really really deeply. It's strange but I am insanely alive and whenever spk thinks about it he wonders how the window was the only thing that got damaged. Miracle I say. fucking miracle for me. So I am still tottering around with this feeling of a huge life force in me and I am all calm now. It's strange how something like that can affect you. I am wondering though if the timing with my thoughts was accidental or not...I was thinking about prostitution when we hit...and I am hoping that it is merely coincidence. but then again, God sometimes needs to wake me up hardcore. will try and improve/change the layout this morning, we'll see. but spk's right, agnostic we are not.
