Accident
India and I were just in a car accident. We're not hurt. I don't think we're hurt. I'm shaking. My head is tight and sore and I was just driving, coming around a corner and a parked car pulled out in front of us, and there was a moment where I thought I should stop but somehow I didn't and we hit and then I just sat there. Breathing. And I was angry that someone else's mistake touched me and my life and I remembered how I almost hit a car the other day but managed to stop in time and I was very quiet and couldn't look at him and I kept just wanting him to apologize. Just an, "I'm so sorry," and it wouldn't have really mattered that much, it's just a car. But he was oddly cheerful and it irritated me and I had just come back from the Chinese Cultural centre for Chinese New Year's and I tried to rally up my niceness and said, "So much for the Chinese good luck card they gave me," and the passenger with him said, "well maybe the good luck was that no one was hurt and I thought, "Of course. Of course Ang. Stop being such a child." Not that I believe in luck. I'm still shaking.

oh , Ang! I'm so sorry! I'm so glad you are both seemingly ok in body! What a crappy thing to have happen. : ( Is there much damage? Will your insurance cover it? What a crappy, crappy thing. That really sucks. I hope you stop shaking soon and can put some distance between you and the accident!
No more shaking. We had lunch, a nap, did a little dancing in the kitchen and played with play dough -a cure all. I think we'll settle outside of insurance if we can - it's not that bad and he offered to just pay for my damage as it was his fault. It could be way worse.
