Bumps in the Road

Last chance to help Lisa's babysitter make her dream come true. Come on - you know you wanna!

From sub fifteens to twenty minute miles in one day . . . sigh

Hubby and I went to Anchortown Friday - he had a test to take on Saturday. (Yay, btw, he PASSED it! Congrats mr. moose!)

We did some shopping for a friend and conducted some business for ourselves, then had some dinner. Then we headed over to our B&B for the night.

and hit a bump in the road.

rather, got bumped while ON the road.

a small fender-bender. We stopped - the person behind us did not stop.

Praise the Lord, the belly dump behind HER did stop. I looked into the rear view mirror just as she hit us and saw him behind her - all I could think of was an oreocookiesandwich - with her as the creamy filling! Praise the Lord that didn't happen!

Praise the Lord - we were in hubby's van, not my little car. The other driver was in a big SUV.

Very little damage to our van - a hole in the plastic bumper. Slightly more damage to her (mother's!) SUV. She has had to replace that bumper.

But, I was behind the wheel - with both hands on the steering wheel, and one foot on the brake. We were stopped in a line of traffic. Because I had those three points in contact with the vehicle, the collision got me. My lower back. Ouch!

OH, I'll be fine - my chiropractic doctor is taking good care of me - I am icing in between visits - the gal's insurance is paying for it -

buuuuuuutttttttttt . . .

there went my sub-fifteen minute miles. Out the window. This morning I only walked two miles (doc told me to take it easy) and it took me 45 minutes!!! Wah!

Actually, my doctor said it was a good thing that I am in as good shape as I am (preen!) because I might be hurting a whole lot more if I had not been. (Yay, me!)

And - the sub-fifteens will be back. In the meantime I will just shuffle along.

pardon me - excuse me - coming through -

thanks for listening.
