Quite a day yesterday! It was a good day....just would have rather avoided the event that happened at approximately 4:45pm on my way to the grocery store. See, I have been VERY mindful of my driving lately. I WILL not text in the car while moving (stopped at a stop sign or stoplight is fine with me) and I have been conscious to not speed AT ALL...not even 5 miles over. I've tried to be responsible, but yesterday, I slipped a bit. RIGHT before I made my right turn into my first stop: Walgreen's, I glanced down at my grocery list on my lap, knowing we were stopping, but thinking I had more time. I looked up, only to see myself barreling down on a Chevy Tahoe SUV much too quickly. I slammed on my brakes, but it wasn't enough the keep me from hitting him with a pretty good force. DANG IT! I wasn't "shook up" or startled or hurt...I am usually pretty even tempered in times like that, but I was MAD at myself. It was a completely avoidable accident and I was so annoyed. The guy I hit was SUPER nice, had no damage to his car and really didn't want to take the time to file a police report and claims. A policeman pulled up and we all chatted a bit, I called Jordan and all went on their merry way. But still- a few hundred to a thousand dollars on auto repairs that could have been avoided is NO way to start your holiday season. Oh well! I have learned a lesson..Lord, help me not forget it and THANK YOU for your protection!
