Yikes!! Are you feeling okay today? I'm glad they didn't hit you full-on. And I'm glad you're all right. (Sounds kinda like when I got almost hit by that lady going to my test-scoring job.....but, luckily, she was able to stop at the last minute...) I think we've all seen our unfair share of inattentive/reckless/rushed drivers.

Tree's down now? Good. It didn't cause any damage to the house and deck, right?

Ummm....why would you tell me not to tell anyone, then post it on FB where EVERYONE can see it?

Yeah, I'm okay, just bruised. Too many close calls for both of us. Even when we're careful, it's not enough because the drivers might not be acting with care.

Of course not. Would've shouted that to the world, wouldn't I've? We got most of it cleaned up, too. Thinking this Friday we'll be dropping off all the stuff we borrowed.

Don't worry; I'm planning to delete it. I didn't let everyone see it, either. You can block people on FB similarly to your custom groups on LJ.

I never trust other drivers anymore...whether I'm biking or driving.

Glad you have the tree mostly cleaned up. Now you have space for your new tree, when it comes! And no worrying about storm season starting....

Eh, FB is public....I don't trust their screening options.

Okay, so apparently that FB thing failed. Never posting anything there again...I was just so upset still last night I wanted to rant. *sigh* Kristi should know not to tell Grandma these things.

WHAT WHAT WHAT D: D: D:
*HUGS* I'm so glad you're okay!!! That sounds scary! UGH, I'm furious now at those guys, every driver NEEDS to check for pedestrians and bikers!! I don't blame you for still shaking afterward, I would be, too. That's horrible. I'm beyond relieved to know you're okay, and I'm sorry for not knowing about this sooner. :(

*hugs* Thank you so much! I'm not so scared to bike anymore, but junctions do still make me very nervous. What really hurts is how angry I am at drivers now--I never used to feel so angry, but now I want to physically shake when they don't look or stop or follow the law. I don't want their issues to ruin me, but I've been letting them. Working on that!

I don't blame you at all for being angry. You have every right to be!
