Bad luck or good luck?

[cjsmith]

I almost got creamed a few minutes ago by a guy in a white truck running a red light. (According to one of my friendsfriends I am more at fault than someone who runs red lights, because he hates women who put on makeup in cars. (Note that I was not, nor have I ever, put on makeup while driving a car.) But that's neither here nor there.) Because the timing was just right, or because when he leaned on the horn he ALSO hit the brakes, or whatever, he didn't actually hit me. It was very close and then he was gone, zooming off to make a left onto Central.

Bad luck to encounter him at all, or good luck to be spared a new car purchase and probable injury?

Sorta like the time I inhaled a bee but didn't get stung.

I'm still a little shaky.

Oh! That next time is extra freaky. Glad it didn't get to you.

Random incidents like this are so tough, 'cause you know there's little you can do to protect yourself from such nuts. *sigh*

'Cept for never going out in a car and staying home curled up with your kitties all day! Would still be fun, but not really a practical or balanced life, I guess.

It sure would be fun though! That's what I like most about taking time off between jobs, in fact: extra time with the kitties.

Mmmm, quality kitty time. That's the best!!   =^..^=

I haven't been getting enough time with mira_kitty lately. Bums me out.

Well, there was your trip north, and now you're exercising more. Time to spend some good weekend snuggles with Mira!

Yeah, the exercising more thing loses me at least an hour with her! I sure notice that! (But no I won't let myself use that as an excuse to not exercise!)

I've been making more of a point of extra little morning scritches and hanging out with her lately -- which is a bit dangerous, since it can make me *really* want to be even later for work....

Yeah, that's difficult. :-(
