"I was sending an email to a client from my laptop when I spilled the hot chocolate I was drinking, while I was on my cell phone. So you see, officer, it wasn't my fault." So, I was in a car accident on Wednesday. You know those days that you are SO tired that you have to slap yourself to stay awake while driving. Well, it was one of those days. It didn't help that my car was all warm and cozy from the sunlight and that I was listening to NPR. I could have rolled down the window and played some booty music. But NO, I thought I could handle it.
I was coming upon stopped cars at a stoplight. I blinked. But the blink caught me in a nanosecond of sleep. I opened my eyes.... shocked that the stopped car in front of me was getting way too close. I slammed my foot on the brake..... BUT it wasn't the brake. My foot was on the gas and so I accelerated. I quickly jerked to the right colliding my right front bumper with his back left bumper. Actually it ripped off his whole bumper. Woops. What a nightmare, and not a fun way to wake up.
No one was hurt. Ryan and I get to try to survive on one car until mine gets out of the shop. Thank heavens for car insurance. Note to self and others: Be careful while driving when tired.
