Soooo glad the weekend's here!!!
Am I glad that this work day is over...the running is done, and I'm home for the evening. It has been one of those days.
Work seemed to go okay,other than the fact that the afternoon drug on something awful. MU had their final home football game today, so everyone seemed to be there, and it was dead most of the afternoon, which made the clock move entirely too slow.
Like I mention earlier, Lee was suppose to have yesterday off, but didn't, so he was hoping that today, he'd at least be able to leave by 5 or shortly after, when is when I got off. I was hoping to be able to go pick him up, and us come right home. That would have been nice. But, unfortunately, he did not get to leave early, and was there till closing. After I got off, I called Lee, to see what the latest was, and when finding out that he couldn't get off, I headed right for home. When I arrived, less than a mile from my house, I had just rounded a curve, which is not very far from our exit. I had just had two or three cars pass me, because I haven't been driving the 70 mph speedlimit, not with my tires as bad as they are. These cars had no sooner passed me, than I thought to myself about how I was "sorry", I'm sure they were all aggrivated with me for driving so slow, but a few minutes faster, isn't worth my neck. I suppose it is a good thing that I wasn't going any faster than I was, just under 55, when before I knew it, literally the blink of an eye, I was looking at a deer, standing smack in the middle of the road, his eyes not more than 12 inches from my drivers side view mirror, then I heard a horrible thud, and the next thing I knew, my side mirror was hanging. My mirror hit him either in the Head or nose area, or along the front of his neck, I really couldn't tell. But, my first glance of him, he was strattling the center line...not moving, just standing in the middle of the road. I immediately looked in my rear view mirror, trying to see where he went, but instead, only saw the car in back of me begin to swerve...then go off the shoulder, then back onto the highway, doing 360's down the road, and the 3-4 cars behind him, doing all sorts of swearving and weaving to avoid hitting him. I got my car pulled off onto the shoulder as quickly as possible, and head down the road toward the car that had just spun out of control. He was sitting on the shoulder, but facing the wrong direction. Once traffic had passed he started to pull out onto the highway again, and then pulled off onto the shoulder, not far from where I was standing. He immediately got out and asked if I was okay. I answered yes, but had mainly stopped because I saw him swerving all over the road, and wanted to make sure he was alright. He told me that the deer wasn't in the road, so, we're assuming that it ran on into the woods...but how hurt it was, I don't know. I only know that it scared the peeeeeeee right outta me, and I know it did this young couple in the car behind me as well. As I was walking back to my car, I turned to look back at them, and they were just standing next to their car, holding each other. I just got back in my car, and whispered, "Thank You, Jesus", because I knew I had just witnessed what could have very well turned into a horrible accident, involving 4 or more cars, and possibly something worse. Angels were sure watching and guiding us tonight, along N. Hwy 63.
Moriah and I ran back out a little before 7 to go pick up Lee...we came right home and I started on supper. Now that the evening has started to wind down, I'm definately feeling alot better. It was, needless to say, a very stressful time, there for awhile. A very close call.
Tomorrow off!!!! I can't wait! This girl will NOT be getting up early tomorrow! Our only plans for tomorrow, are to go get Landon and the kids, and come back to our house. Landon's gonna help Lee with the Buick...he had someone tell him what he thought the problem might be, so they're going to check that out, then we'll just hang around and do some supper. Probably watch movies, or something. That's going to be the extent of our day...as far as we have planned.
I tried giving Kirk and Tara-Lee a call this evening...it was a little after noon, for them, on Sunday, but no one was answering. They're probably over at a relatives house...they do that lots of times on the weekends. So, I left a message that I'd called, and told them to get back with us. Last i talked to Kirk, he was still having the time of his life! Although, I can tell in his voice, that he misses home. It's always good to hear his voice, but make me sad also, knowing how long it is still going to be, before we see him again, and hoping that he isn't homesick and hurting, till he's able to get here. It just makes me sad thinking about it.
Well, after the day I've had, I think I may go soak this ol bod in a nice hot tub. After this day, let's hope I don't fall asleep in the tub, and drowned myself...lol I have been know to do that before...fall asleep that is...not drowned myself..lol
I hope you have all had a good day. We're suppose to have a cooler weekend...around 60's, I think. for tomorrow. So it will be a little chillier than it has the past several days. But, guess that's to be expected this time of year...whether I'm ready for it or not. lol
Have a great evening!
Much love,
Lev
Oh, meant to tell you. Once I got home and could look at my mirror...the mirror is still attached to my car...the mirror just fell out of it, and is hanging by the wires. From what I could tell when it first happened, I thought that my entire side mirror had been busted off. So, thankfully, Lee seems to think he can fix my mirror. There isn't another scratch on my car. And, with the size this deer was...it could have easily totaled my car.
