My day started off great..While out walking, Oscar's leash in one hand and Jeremy's hand in the other, we came within an INCH of getting hit by a car...we were crossing the street at a 4 way intersection and the only thing I can think of is that the guy thought he could beat us across...but we were over the yellow line on his side when he blew by us...Oscar was out ahead and I jerked him back to me while screaming...he hit my legs so hard I thought he had gotten hit, but I guess it was just the force of me pulling him back cuz he was OK even though from my angle he and the car were one for a second...I threw Jeremy back to the other end of my arm, but I was weak in the knees and crying the whole way home thinking how bad it would have been had I been one more step out...either Oscar would have died, I would have gotten really fucked up or...Jeremy would have gone right under the wheel...instead of stopping to see if we were OK the guy just punched the gas after hearing me scream. What a fucking champ. I was shaking uncontrollably for over an hour.
But, good karma saved my life and gave me a free jogging stroller tonight! Frank came over tonight for lasagna and A Mighty Wind and after he left I drove up to nowhereville Rancho Bernardo (supposedly, even though I lived there for months and never knew of this bumblefuck place). So there's $100 or more I never would have spent but should have...now I can go for long walks in the morning instead of just down to the deadly 4 way stop and back. My last stroller, after 500 miles and having its wheels held on with twist ties for about the last 100, finally died last summer and I've gotten nothing but fatter since. I needs my morning walks.
So, meh, good with bad. Tomorrow's Jeremy's school and my first class of the semester. I'm taking an honors Spanish class, Spanish through film? Algo asi. Hopefully it'll help get my fluency back cuz seriously...looking back at the papers I wrote last semester...I was horrible.
So, we'll see how all that goes. Right now the only thing I wanna see is the inside of my eyelids....
