6 24 pm pdt   [ bad car day ]

I think I'm having a bad car day -- or rather week, or maybe month. I walked into my offic shaking this morning. I missed getting in a car accident by just a few inches. I was approaching a light and I slowed down, but it turned green before I got there so I didn't stop. I was in the right lane and there was a green van in the left lane. The van was moving forward into the intersection and I began accelerating. The van van was blocking my view of a car still in the intersection (although the light was red) trying to make a left turn. So they made their left turn in front of me. I slammed on my brakes and unfortunately so did they. So they were parked in the intersection and thankfullyI came to a stop a few inches short of them. I was one block from work and was glad to not have to do any more driving that morning.

Thankfully, my ride home was uneventful.

My silver sneakers are a newfound obsession. On Monday I arrived at work at the same time as the owner of the company, and as he held the door for me he looked down at my shoes but said nothing. He either disapproved or was jealous...
