I'm Alive!

Almost got in a horrific car crash today. Some doofus in a minivan was pulling a trailer with some logs in it. It was in the right hand lane. Not looking, it goes to swerve into the left lane. The Audi in front of me slams on his brakes to miss it and ends up hitting the trailer. I slam on my brakes to miss the Audi and thankfully I do after coming within inches of colliding with the back end because the guy was smart enough to pull way off the road. Unfortunately the minivan slamming its brakes caused the logs go flying off, one of which collided with my car and caused minor damage. I spent an hour and a half standing in the rain waiting to get it sorted out with the state trooper that came. I borrow the Audi guys phone and finally get ahold of Chris who somehow interprets the "I'm fine but the car is a little damaged" as "I'm fine but the car is totalled and there is a log through the windshield" so he tells my dad that and everyone is worried about me for the next two hours until I make it back to the office. I missed Boy's preschool orientation because of this. My dad had to take him by himself and almost collapsed from having to walk so far because he didn't realize the preschool is located in the back corner of the school and came in through the front door.
On top of that I have been sick with the worst head cold ever for 3 days and I still have one more 4 page paper for the LIT class and the 10 pager for the HR class to write. Needless to say this has been a craptacular week. I am still alive though so I guess I'll celebrate by giving myself the night off from homework to finish reading Harry Potter 5. Cheers.
