woke up this morning 6:43, getting ready get out the shower by 7:04, make a pb&J for breakfast, set it on the counter so i can grab it on the way out, put some water in the refrigerator for this afternoon's wrestling practice. Get my nephew (10 months old) ready to go to the babysitter for the day. Put him in the backseat of my car, and leave. Wave to my mom on the way out, head to pick up my friend to take him to school..... So i pull up to the front of his neighborhood. Baker Rd. traffic backed up, but it stops and the white car stops to let me through (no blocking the intersection), so I check and make sure things are clear, and I head on out. Halfway into the turning lane and a honk and flash of red later i'm panting and praying to god that my nephew is fine.
4hrs later, everyone is ok for the most part. Cops came and towed my car. Definately totalled, airbags didn't deploy or anything. Turned out the guy was speeding (witnesses tell me he was doing at least 45mph) IN THE TURNING LANE, 1600+ ft. from the intersectionw here he was planning on turning. Doctor says my ankle may be broken, (there goes the wrestling season). So I'm waiting on the x-ray reports from the radiologist (sp?).
So now i'm the market for a new car, not sure exactly what I want, but I have somewhat of an idea.
Now thats how you start your day off with a bang, literally.
