So, sorry I’ve been away, but a few hours after my last blog post, I was in a car accident. Mom insisted that Faith and I go out with her on Solstice so that she could drag us along while she hung out with her friends and did her x-mas shopping, and so after spending a few hours freezing while they got themselves together, she went in her flaky friend’s truck — we’ll call said friend “E” — while me and Faith went with mutual friend, “L”. And not thirty seconds into the journey, E slams on her breaks in front of L’s car and me, Faith, and L are mashed up.
Mom made it vaguely apparent that E not only had accidents like that all the time, but also might not have had insurance, and Faith and I had to hobble out of L’s car before the tow-truck made it there. I got treated to what E mistakes for a calm, soothing personality, “Just breathe deeply and you’ll feel better!” Mom still insisted on going x-mas shopping afterword and I ended up getting something to the effect of food poisoning from her favorite buffet. I’ve been sick to my stomach for days. Fun way to spend Solstice, huh?
