I was laying there thinking "I need better bedtime stories."

If you should ever find yourself selecting a new shiny fandom to get into with an eye toward what will feel nice and comforting to escape to when you want to stop mentally replaying your car accident and go the fuck to sleep, pro tip: CHOOSE SOMETHING WITH LESS BODILY HARM AND CONSTANT PERIL AND BEING STUCK IN RICKETY DANGEROUS VEHICLES THAN GENERATION KILL.

Even the Nate-is-a-priest AU bunny didn't help.

I did get to sleep eventually, though, and I actually feel less hit-by-a-truck than I expected to this morning. Today's exciting plans include going to the tow place to retrieve my crock pot, stuffed turtle, and ancient Amtrak blanket from my car, going to my regular doctor to get checked over and see when she thinks I should go back to work, and figuring out who exactly is going to pay for me to rent a car until I (oh this is going to be fun) buy a new one.

And maybe bringing some new verisimilitude to that story I was working on where Ray is having a really bad day and Brad makes him feel better.

<33333333333333 I am super super glad that you are basically okay, but sad that you have to deal with all of this! Car accidents suck. And I feel like it's some kind of rule that, when selecting a story to Take Your Mind Off Things, inevitably there is something in the story that reminds you of the thing.

Anyway, FEEL BETTER. GOOD LUCK WITH THE CAR STUFF. <3

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we hadn't even managed to get my car's horn turned off after the accident when I was standing there thinking, "Dammit, I'm going to have to buy a new car, this is going to suck." But Iulia has offered to come look at cars with me and ask Important Questions while I check to see that it is shiny and has wheels, so. I'm sure it will all turn out fine. *g*

Oh, good, you have a practical BFF! Those are the most useful kind! ;)

Good luck with the car shopping!
