It is amazing how some things can set you back when things are looking good. I am just not very resilient.

I had a bike crash on my way home from work. I was on a quiet residential street when a van passed me. He said he was on the far side of the street. Wherever he was he startled the [censored] out of me and I swerved into a parked car. I scuffed the paint, broke off the mirror and went over the handlebars getting a cut and scrapes, but nothing broken. I went back later with tools and wax. I fixed the mirror and got all the scuffs off the paint. It was a brand new Mercedes! it has very tough paint. There was only a tiny ding left on the mirror and a tiny scratch on the mirror glass. The owner was a nice guy. Maybe he will not bother to file a claim. I don't know if my insurance will cover it and I hate to pay $1000 for a ding on a mirror.

Now I have a very sore joint in my hand. I guess I sprained it.

I ache all over and feeling tired and sorry for myself.

I am also having a tiff with my boss one day after patching things up with her. She is trying to pay me as little as possible for when I am on call saving the company a couple hundred dollars a years, almost as much as they cut my pay check. I told forget it. I did not want to be on call at all and she can keep all her money. I have had it and have been looking for a new job, anything.

No replies. I am just whining...

Wherever you go, there you are
