Sharp as Teeth and Stars

Things I'm thankful right at this moment

Happy Thanksgiving

I’m thankful yesterday is over most of all for the following reasons:

*Multiple calls from work, making me work on my day off.

*A speeding ticket it northern Indiana, making two speeding tickets in less than a week.  I was picked off in a group of cars going the same speed.  The cop was sitting behind a bend in the road, or really standing outside his car with the radar gun.  He just points at me with a huge smile on his face and made a motion like he was reeling me in.  I have lots of time off, so I’m fighting this one.  Give me a court date, because I’m not paying this one.

*The best part of the day:  I was hit from behind on the interstate and then pushed off the interstate into the median where I couldn’t stop myself and slid down the wet grass until my car enbanked itself in some mud.  I was lucky that my car was ultimately fine somehow, but this ended up being a three hour affair as the rain and following back up prevented the cops and then toe truck from getting there on time.  To add to this experience the driver that hit me was uninsured, I slipped and fell in the mud two times, and I received another call from work that some samples in came in that needed to be distrubuted that I specifically requested not be done this week to the donor center.

So yesterday ranks right up there among the worst in my life.  I’m really glad I took the day off.

It's almost Thanksgiving and that means one thing

I’m definitely coming down with something.  It better just be my normal winter time perma-cold.
