| ACCIDENT #8... or #9 (I can't remember, there've been so many...)
Saturday night, Julia and I decided to meet up at a margarita bar to catch up over a few drinks. I was running late, as usual, and called her to let her know I was on my way as she patiently waited at mockingbird station. I noticed the ground was wet, but Julia said not to worry because it wasn't raining where she was. As I drove down Park Lane, towards the highway, I suddenly lost control on the wet road and hydroplaned... doing a 360 into oncoming traffic. A hispanic woman coming from the other direction hit me dead on, rear-ending me so hard that my car jumped the sidewalk, nearly hitting pedestrians. We filed a police report, she got a ticket for not having any insurance, and I went to the emergency room for neck and back injuries. After multiple x-rays, the doctor said I had ligament and muscle damange, all of which vicodin can help alleviate .
Since then, I've been having trouble falling asleep because as soon as I close my eyes, my mind will replay the accident over and over in different variations. It's so scary to think I could have... *&^%&! Today the insurance man came to look at the car. After reiterating that I was at fault for the accident, he also determined that the car was unsalvageable. In a few months, after assessing our family insurance rate, Geico will probably categorize me as a high risk driver and refuse to cover me at all. *sigh* It's dejavu all over again...
I've also managed to scare away future tourists: h A M Y 1 6 (12:00:49 PM): im never going to dallas texas
h A M Y 1 6 (12:00:54 PM): in fear of running into u on the road
Lessons learned: Chrissy Lee was not meant to drive. Ever.
