not so good
 

Hi,
I went to see my friend in Assisted Living and took her some personal items she requested.
She was depressed and not doing so well.


Then on the way out of the oneway drive way of her building a fast car almost slammed into me. I could not get out of the way because there were concrete walls on both sides of the driveway. All I could do was beep my horn and pray.
The guy in the other car stopped a few feet from me.
I was imagining horrible things as I saw him coming at me fast.


The people on the road scare me.
NOTHING is open in my town accept pharmacies and a few restaurants here and there -- and yet cars everywhere.

And it is dark out.

Mari,

That is rather scary to have a car almost hit you. I only went out to go to a neighbor's place today and in the past the roads here are usually deserted. My ex use to say that everyone was in a hurry to get no where.

OMG Mari! I am so glad you're okay! That is so frightening. It's too bad about your friend too. Thie holidays are so hard on some people. I know I am glad Christmas is over. Yet people will still drive crazy for a couple weeks to come. It's just a bad time of year. So glad you're okay....:hug:

THanks.
I'm depressed.
Some days I can hold it together for a few hours here and there.
TOday is harder.

Me too. It was a hard day. BF:hug::hug:

Sorry that happened. I know it was frightening. Seeing your friend in such a place must be difficult as well... then you are nearly in an accident... That was just a lousy night...

Friend,
That stinks. I hope that tomorrow is better.


Tritone,
If it were only one of those two to deal with I might be managing better. Both were too much.

Mari

I am so glad you are okay. It is so scary out there in these crazy days. Plus Christmas day, not many people are out and about.

Always carry a cell phone, just hit 911 and they can find where you are on most phones, I believe.

Sorry to hear your friend is depressed, but I bet you just going to visit, helped a lot.

Hope you are doing better today.;)

Hugs, Nikko:hug:

Dear Mari,
I am sorry that you are feeling depressed.
I hope you are able to rest with the break.
(((((HUGS)))))

Hi,
The check up with the tdoc today was the first time I saw her since August.
After I gave her my updates, she said that I was still holding on to the improvements that I accomplished over the summer.
She tried to be encouraging.

Regarding the near accident yesterday:

She said to practice visualizing
1) the other car stopping
2) my being able to back up and get out of the way
3) my driving off safe.


Mari

Mari

HUGS, HUGS visualize those from all of us too.

They should do some good.

I think its so much harder to let go of something that almost happened.



I know that just tonight, I drove home in fog. It was so bad you couldn't
see in front of you. But I got home, safe and sound. Had no idea that
my husband had a clue that I was driving in that kind of weather.

I assumed it had just been building for a little while. But he had a co-worker
leave work tonight because his wife was in a very serious accident. And my
husband was panicking because he couldn't get ahold of me. And knew I was out in it. Had lots of people calling and looking for me.

Wow didn't realize he would worry.

Donna

Dear Donna,
I feel a great sympathy for those people who are driving in difficult weather conditions.

How did it feel to find out later that your husband and others were worried about you?

I'm glad that you arrived home safely and I'm sure that your husband was glad to see you.

Mari

It made me feel warm and fuzzy that he cared.

I just didn't know why at the time. He didn't tell me, he was at work.

My mom told me when she called why he was so worried.

Donna

That is scary. To be honest I do not drive because I am afraid. But I will overcome my fear by taking driving lessons when I get a stable job. It sounds scary when there are lot of people around in the area. But they all must have some errands to run perhaps. at night? I dunno. I hope you feel better though. I am sorry about your friend. I hope she feels better soon.
