Reminds me of Thunder Cats. Remember those? That’s what the weather guys are calling what’s falling here. Anyway, we’ve already got 5 inches on the ground here at home. That’s just insane for the south.
It wasn’t so bad this morning when I took Kea to the vet. But on the way it got worse. Then it got really sucky when some punk kid in a pick up truck didn’t remember the pump your brakes rule and took out my rear passenger fender, tailights, bumper, the works. He hit me so hard Kea’s crate flipped over. She was so scared she peed. I was scared, up in the front seat, not being able to reach her, in the middle of a snowy highway with cars and big, monster trucks wizzing by like it’s a sunny day. I called 911, Jon, my mom, and the vet. The most wonderful Dr. Martin came to the accident scene and took Kea in to the office for her exam (I was so close, just a mile away!). Kea’s fine, she was just a little scared. She weighs in at 3.44lbs now! My back hurts a bit, but I’m fine. My Jorge, my lovely silver RAV4 is not so fine.
The cop shows up and tells me we’re wreck #51 on that highway so since no one’s bleeding we should just trade info and go home. So 3 hours later I’m finally here. My vet’s office is only 5 miles away. I was only supposed to be gone for 45 minutes or so.
Now Jon’s trying to be the manager hero and go in to work. I’ll see you next week honey! There’s no way he’s coming home tonight if he leaves. Nothing like spending the blizzard of 2004 at a grocery store!
They’re saying it will continue to come down like this through tomorrow afternoon. Say a prayer we thaw soon!
**Update: Jon couldn’t back my car out of the driveway because it’s on an incline and there’s too much snowy icy slush, and his car is stuck in the ditch down the road. So he’s home with me thank goodness! My mom had a minor wreck on her way home from work. She’s fine though. Now that all my loved ones are home safe I feel better. There are too many nuts on the road!
