Yesterday

Yesterday I was on my way to my friends about 30min. away and I spun out of control in my car and ended up backwards in the median. It had only snowed maybe 2-3 inches, and previous to that the roads where practically dry. I guess I just was over confidante like I always am in my driving and didn't realize just how slick the road had become. I cam around a big corner on the hwy before a straight away and it all was blurry from there, I remember spinning or swerving a few times thinking "Lord Have Mercy". There were a few cars behind me that I had just passed and thank God no one hit me. I do believe my guardian angel was right there with me the whole time guiding me carefully into the median. I wasn't so much panicked, but just overwhelmed. The stupid part is that NO ONE stopped to see if I was okay, until five minutes later the state sander guy did. B was already on his way to come get me so I didn't really care, but still. Common people!

I had been sitting there for sometime now waiting for B when on the south bound lane a nice military guy pulled over to see if I was okay. And then right when we finished our conversation maybe 20 yards ahead a Tahoe flipped going south bound. The Tahoe was upside down and all I could think was I am so glad I didn't end up that way, and that five seconds later the guy got out of his car and from what I know he is just fine. The roads were a little slick obviously, and later we found out that a Coke truck ditch dived too and there was coke all over the road. B said when he and his dad went back to get my car out that there were two other cars right there in the ditch with us as well.

I came home after that and I just melted into a pile on the couch and wanted to sleep. Its crazy how a tragedy as small as that can turn your whole day upside down. It was a stressful situation and I even took the day (today) off because I think its going to take me the weekend to get back on the hwy.

In my whole driving time I have only been intimidated by other drivers when the roads get like this, but this effected me a bit more then I thought. I am not freaked out to drive again, I couldn't do that to myself. But I am taken back.
