Good Morning everyone !

Well, I'm feeling much better these last couple days, still coughing because my lungs still have the "crackles" in them and I seem to tire a lot easier.  Went to work yesterday for the first time for a full shift and by the time I was cut off of the floor I was having a hard time of it. But ~ I made it. So that's a good thing.

On the way home though that was bad ~ mainly because someone pulled out in front of me at a intersection and I clipped them, luckily I had seen them starting to pull into the path of traffic (they were coming from the opposite direction than I and were at a stop light right turn signal...one of those arrow thingies that flashes yellow meaning "yield to oncoming traffic, only make the turn if the path is clear" well, they didn't wait.  I had a concrete median to MY left and someone right on my butt, and two lanes of traffic to my right and I couldn't stop without creating another accident.  Anyway, I had been watching them as I approached the intersection and saw that they were going to pull across the intersection, I had managed to slow down a little bit, then they pulled fully in front of me making their turn and I had to really slam on the brakes, I managed to control my car enough to where it pulled only a little to the left (remember, someone was right on my bumper almost) there was oncoming traffic, a concrete median... so I only "bumped" them in the bumper area. I had to continue on and try to get over to the far right lane because I couldn't just stop in traffic... and there was no left turn lane to turn from in this part of the road. So I pulled over into the far right lane and pulled into a parking lot, got out checked what damage there was (believe me at this point I was in a little bit of shock) luckily, only the right turn signal light cover had been popped off with my bumping of this person's rear portion of car - if I had not been paying attention and saw this person start to pull in front of me I would have broadsided them because there would have been no way I could have stopped in time or avoided them. Anyway, I got my wits together got back in the car, pulled out of the parking lot and did a u turn at the next intersection and went back to where this had happened, there was no one there.  THAT pissed me off, the idiot.  Could have killed someone!!!!!  So I just came home.  I had my bluetooth on and had been talking to Cindy while this was going on and I had been so damn calm about the whole thing she didn't even know anything had happened!!  Until I said some asshole (excuse my language) had pulled in front of me and two other lanes of traffic and I had clipped them.  She didn't have time to talk "had people all over her" so I said "f**k it" to myself ::: you know what everyone? I never/rarely cursed until I was around Cindy & no I'm not complaining, it was I was brought up NOT to cuss, my mother would have whacked me upside the head for doing so ::: and I told her I was sorry to bother her and I'd talk to her later and I hung up.  So I drove home kind of numb in a way.  I was VERY lucky that it hadn't been worse, as it is it will cost about $25 to replace the right turn lane signal cover and that's all the damage that was done.  I guess it does pay to be a defensive driver doesn't it?  I sure as heck didn't feel like cooking dinner when I got home so I didn't.  I will cook tonight ~ Pork Butt Roast with homemade mashed potatoes and some kind of vegi. 

That's enough for now ~ going to go.  Hope everyone has a good day.
