So, last night on the way to the theatre for my Friday night show, I turned on my headlights only to realize that the driver's side headlight no longer works (figured, of course, since I had already made an appointment for today to see my mechanic to get the water out before it caused damage). So, I got to be super paranoid on the drive home last night, wondering if I'd get pulled over for having only one headlight. This morning, I got out of the house a bit late, stopped to get a Coke, and then when pulling into a parking space right next to my mechanic's truck, I RAN INTO IT! I am still flabbergasted, and jsut VERY VERY mad with myself that I did that - I broke a lens on my front passenger side bumper, got a nice new gash in poor Bessie Lou's front fender/bumper/whatever the thing is called, and put about a 12"-18" dent in his truck's bed. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Rigth now, I just want to crawl into a hole and hibernate until February, or at least untill midnight tomorrow when this horrendous first week of 2007 will be OVER. *sigh* Anyhow, thanks for reading, sorry for being inself-pity mode at the moment, but this year so far just royally sucks for me.

Originally Posted By mousegrl Awww. Lots of hugs coming your way. I've heard it said the when people go through stressful times, they are more likely to have accidents. I know when I'm stressed, I have more mindless moments than usual. (No comments, please. lol) This last month I've been running into walls constantly! (Really, I have.) My mind just doesn't function as well under big stress. It makes sense, though. And it seems the stress your under, Labuda, is big stress. Moral of this story, take time for yourself! Do things that relax you and make you feel good. You deserve and need it! I'm thinking of you and I know better times are a coming! BIG HUGS...
