The neck brace of doom...

[kellifer]

So, I was rear-ended last night pretty badly. I was driving home from work later than normal because we had a meeting run long and this woman pulled out in front of me and I was able to stop in time to not hit her but the guy behind me?

Not so much...

I had to spend six hours in the hospital, three and a half of which in the uncomfortable hard neck brace so they could clear my neck and spine. I have whiplash and am home feeling mostly annoyed by the whole thing.

Only three days ago I was telling someone I was in a position to pay my car out free and clear which would be one less debt I would have to worry about.

This is the fates having a big old laugh at me.

The guy who hit me wasn't insured so while I am, he's going to have a more horrible time of it I suspect. His car was totaled. Plus, my insurance company will be wanting to recover their money from him some way.

Urgh.

You never wake up in the morning thinking your day is going to end so badly.

TOTAL suckmosis! :-( I think uninsured drivers should be publicly whipped. I hope your neck recovers quicky and thoroughly.

In other news, I had to blink when I saw your name on my friend Heidi8's LJ! I've known her for virtually for, um...(counts on fingers)...13 years years. We met back in the dark ages of the 'net on a Friends mailing list. A list that's still active, I might add. I got to meet her face last May.

She was uber-squeeful about the fic you wrote, and I had to agree with her that you rock. :) It was pretty funny to see two utterly divergent corners of my life cross. :)

: waves to Brandi - hey, Kelly, did you know that I've known Brandi since 1995 or 1996, from a Friends (tv show) list? Or was this a (wicked cool) surprise to you like it was to me?

Fandom - such a wonderfully random thing!
